Solana’s reward records leave stakers with a gap in validator fee data
Summary
Agave omits validator commission rates from Solana reward metadata when custom collectors are active, even though commissions continue to be calculated and rewards reportedly reconcile. Verifying the fee behind a payout now requires connecting the reward period and stake delegation to the historically effective commission rate; the validator’s current setting may not match the rate used. Existing history tools can help, but their timing and coverage may be incomplete. Proposed changes to expose effective rates remain unimplemented. The issue limits auditability rather than demonstrating missing rewards or overcharging.
