Analyzing stake among validators in PoS blockchains.

This repository focuses on analyzing decentralization in Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains by collecting and analyzing validator and staking data.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sm86/decentralized_stake_insights.git

2. Run the main file:

   cd decentralized_stake_insights && python3 data.py

We only collect validator stake data on blockchains leveraging classical BFT consensus mechanisms and variants.

In other words, blockchains that require a super majority quorum (two-thirds of total stake) on every block. Below are the list of blockchains

For each blockchain, we save stake distribution data in CSV format, with two columns: address and tokens.

The CSV file has following format DDMMYY_blockchain.csv and is stored in data folder.

Added API for these metrics. Start the server: python3 api/app.py Access the data: http://127.0.0.1:5000/metrics/<date>

The date has to be in right range, else you would get the following error:

{
  "error": "No data available for the selected date. Please select a date between 24-10-2023 and today"
}
