Algorand Decentralization Dashboard
Valar Solutions GmbH has developed the Algorand Decentralization Dashboard, which provides an easy-to-understand analysis of Algorand's decentralization. It analyzes the network's online stake in real time. This includes native staking as well as third-party staking solutions like Valar peer-to-peer staking, Réti pools, and liquid staking tokens (LSTs) from Tinyman (tALGO) and Folks Finance (xALGO).
Users can explore and gain real-time insights into:
- who controls the stake,
- who is operating the stake,
- through which solutions the stake is being operated,
- how many users different staking solutions and node operators have, and
- what are Algorand's metrics for liveliness, collusion-resistance, and upgradability.
This enables users to make well-informed decisions when selecting a staking solution or a node operator, thereby contributing to increased network decentralization.
To the best of our knowledge, this is currently the most detailed, transparent, and real-time analysis of Algorand's decentralization. The project can be run locally. The majority of data is fetched directly from the blockchain, i.e. there is no dedicated backend or trust needed. Some third-party APIs from Nodely are used to speed up data fetching. The project includes one of the most complete, publicly accessible lists of publicly doxxed Algorand accounts.
A deployment of the dashboard can be accessed at: https://decentralization.valar.solutions/
The project is open-sourced: https://github.com/ValarStaking/algorand-decentralization

About the team Valar Solutions GmbH was founded by Dr. Uroš Hudomalj and Dr. Alexander Marinšek after winning Algorand's Global Hackathon - Change The Game, at Decipher 2024, with the IgoProtect staking platform. The platform evolved into Valar peer-to-peer staking, which achieved a peak of 100M ALGO staked by more than 350 users staking via 100 different node runners, who operate more than 15% of all online accounts.
In addition, the company has developed:
- xGov integration for Réti that enables stakers to express their opinions about xGov proposals and validators to easily vote based on their wishes.
- VERA platform for transparent, fair and verifiable random draws.
- Certify platform for on-chain credentials for node runners, which won 1st place at Algorand France Hackathon.
- Block Anxiety - a tool helping to assess your staking performance, which has been integrated e.g. into https://algonoderewards.com/.
- Block Tracker - a tool for tracking block producers on-chain.
Valar Solutions GmbH is also offering node running services via Valar's peer-to-peer staking platform and Réti staking pools, and has contributed to Folks Finance audit competitions for their xALGO liquid staking token (1st place) and Folks Smart Contract Library (4th place).
Dr. Uroš Hudomalj currently serves as a member of the xGov Council. He will abstain from voting on this proposal within the xGov Council to prevent conflict of interest.
Additional Info This effort is in line with Valar's mission to increase decentralization of Algorand. To achieve this goal, it is necessary for the ecosystem and its users to have transparent and objective metrics to evaluate decentralization. This project aims to be the basis for this by transparently aggregating information that is typically scattered among different sources, opening doors for efficient joint collaboration within the ecosystem.
