The Kos🐾 validator has a WizScore of 0.0 out of 10. The WizScore is a composite metric from StakeWiz that evaluates validators based on performance, uptime, commission, stake concentration, and other factors. A higher score indicates a more reliable and well-run validator.
Why is the Kos🐾 validator showing as delinquent?+
The Kos🐾 validator is currently flagged as delinquent, meaning it has fallen behind in voting on the Solana network. This can happen due to hardware issues, software bugs, or network connectivity problems. While delinquent, the validator does not earn staking rewards. You may want to consider redelegating your stake to an active validator until the issue is resolved.
How are staking rewards distributed?+
Solana staking rewards are distributed automatically at the end of each epoch (approximately every 2–3 days). Rewards are added directly to your stake account balance and compound automatically. The validator takes their commission percentage before distributing the remainder to delegators proportional to their stake.
How do I unstake my SOL from the Kos🐾 validator?+
To unstake, select your stake account and click the unstake button. Your stake will enter a cooldown period lasting one epoch (approximately 2–3 days). After the cooldown completes, your SOL becomes withdrawable back to your wallet. If you have MEV rewards, you can harvest them before unstaking.
