How Validator Rewards Work
1. Total Validator Rewards:
Total Rewards = Total Staked × Network Inflation Rate2. Validator Commission:
Commission = Total Rewards × Commission Rate3. Delegator Rewards:
Your Rewards = (Your Stake / Total Stake) × (Total Rewards - Commission)4. Effective APR:
Effective APR = (Your Rewards / Your Stake) × 100How to Use

- Lower commission = higher returns for delegators
Network Examples
• Cosmos (ATOM): ~7-15% inflation, validators charge 5-10%

• Cardano (ADA): ~4-6% rewards, 0-5% commission
• Solana (SOL): ~6-8% APY, 5-10% commission
