Performance monitoring tools for professional @solana validators

[PIATEK9 @piateknine]

Curious to see how TVC ranking competition keeps getting tougher

in epoch 778, the difference between #1 and #200 was 308 missed credits (out of 6,912,000)
in epoch 781 (last epoch), the difference was just 104 credits

at these levels, it's important to understand that the APY % is essentially the same across these validators.

while this is great for @solana, stake pools such as @jito_sol / @JitoFDN, who base their delegation on TVC score, should pay close attention to the situation.

Relying solely on TVC may soon become an obsolete and saturated method (if it isn't already), and may not reflect real performance metrics --almost 30% of validators benefiting Jito stake delegation are currently out of the "top 200", due to the minimal difference between validators ranked in the top 300-350

potential solutions:
- expand the pool to top 300
- add more accurate performance metrics, such as Avg Latency instead of TVC score, or combine them

The above chart shows the great improvements that the @orangefincrypto validator has made in the past few months

Introducing the new Vote Credits Ranking page!

Validator operators can now easily see how their vote credit leaderboard rank has changed over time epoch to epoch!

Great to see screenshots of the vortex validator income dashboard in the wild but it needs a lot of work still before it's useful for validators wanting to understand how to improve block revenue. Suggestions welcome!

Why spend time sabotaging other validators when we can just improve our own!

While competitors are making excuses, @temporal_xyz is cooking.

Stake with Temporal.
