HOW TO USE STAKEWATCH

1. Sign In

Sign in with your Google or GitHub account. Your data is private and only visible to you.

2. Add Validators

From the Dashboard, click "Add Validator" and enter your validator index (e.g. 123456) or public key. You can add multiple validators at once by separating them with commas.

3. Sync Data

Click "Sync Now" to fetch the latest data from the beacon chain. StakeWatch connects directly to an Ethereum beacon node to retrieve real-time balance, status, and effectiveness data.

Dashboard

Overview of all your validators — balance, status, effectiveness, and estimated monthly income at a glance.

Validators

Detailed list of all tracked validators with status, balance, effectiveness score, and type (Solo or CSM).

Performance

Attestation effectiveness charts, missed attestations, sync committee participation, and uptime tracking. Data accumulates with each sync.

Rewards

Consensus layer (CL) and execution layer (EL) reward tracking. Shows daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time totals across all your validators.

P&L (Profit & Loss)

Multi-currency profit and loss calculation. Shows your staking returns in NZD, USD, EUR, and AUD using live exchange rates.

MEV

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) rewards from block proposals. Shows total MEV earned and smoothing pool estimates.

CSM (Community Staking Module)

Lido CSM-specific dashboard for operators. Shows bond amounts, key counts, and CSM-specific reward calculations.

Health Score

Composite health score based on attestation rate, proposals, sync committee participation, and uptime. Radar chart visualization.

Alerts

Configure notifications for validator events — offline detection, missed attestations, balance thresholds, and more.

Smart Alerts

Advanced rule-based alerting with custom conditions and thresholds.

Projections

Monte Carlo simulation for ETH price projections and staking income forecasts. Uses Geometric Brownian Motion modeling.

Retirement Calculator

Estimate time to retirement based on your staking income, target monthly income, and ETH price scenarios.

Tax

Tax reporting helper — shows staking income by period for tax jurisdictions that treat staking rewards as income.

Risk

Slashing risk monitor with prevention checklist and network slashing event tracking.

Diversity

Network client diversity analysis — execution and consensus layer client distribution across the Ethereum network.

Leaderboard

Rank your validators by performance — attestation rate, proposal count, and balance growth.

Beacon Chain

StakeWatch connects to an Ethereum beacon node (Lodestar) to fetch real-time validator data. All balances, statuses, and effectiveness scores come directly from the chain.

Exchange Rates

Live ETH prices are fetched from CoinGecko for multi-currency P&L calculations.

No Synthetic Data

StakeWatch never generates fake or simulated data. If data isn't available, the UI shows an empty state rather than fabricated numbers. All charts and metrics reflect real on-chain data only.

Free

Track 1 validator with basic analytics, performance charts, and alerts.

Pro ($15/mo)

Up to 5 validators, advanced analytics, performance comparison, and priority support.

Whale ($40/mo)

Unlimited validators, API access, custom alerts, hardware monitoring, and dedicated support.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your validator data is stored in a private database and is only accessible to your account. We don't share or sell data.

How often does data sync?

Data syncs daily automatically. You can also trigger a manual sync anytime by clicking "Sync Now" on the dashboard.

Can I track both solo and CSM validators?

Yes. When adding a validator, you can mark it as a CSM key and specify the bond amount for accurate CSM-specific calculations.

What happens if I add a validator that doesn't exist?

The beacon sync will be unable to find data for it. The validator will show as "Unknown" status until a valid index is provided.
