Each indexer receives a composite score (0–100) across ten dimensions, combined with transparent weights. The score is designed for delegator decision-making — higher is better.
| Dimension | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| REO Compliance | 20% | Rewards Eligibility Oracle status (GIP-0079). Eligible with runway = 100, ineligible = 0. Oracle-sourced data gets full marks; heuristic fallback = partial credit. |
| Allocation Efficiency | 13% | Allocated tokens ÷ provisioned tokens. Higher utilisation = more operationally competent. 80%+ = 100, no allocations = 0. |
| Self-Stake | 12% | Absolute GRT staked by the indexer — skin in the game. Scored on raw amount, not as a ratio of total stake. Having more delegation does not reduce this score. Anchors: 100K (protocol minimum) = 35, 500K = 65, 1M = 80, 10M+ = 100, with linear interpolation between points. |
| Delegator Cut | 10% | How much of the earnings delegators actually keep. Uses effective cut (what delegators actually experience, accounting for indexer's own stake ratio) when available, falling back to raw cut. 0% cut = 100, 25% = 60, 50% = 35, 100% = 0. 100% query fee cut applies a further -15 penalty. |
| Delegation Safety | 10% | How close the indexer is to maximum delegation capacity (self-stake × 16). Lower utilisation = more room for new delegators without reward dilution. <50% used = 100, 100% full = 0. |
| Transparency | 9% | Has the indexer set an ENS name (+40), website URL (+30), and display name (+30)? Presence and accountability signals. |
| Delegator APY | 8% | Actual returns delivered to delegators. Uses 30-day rolling realised APY from closed allocations when available, falling back to estimated APR from current allocations. Anchors: 20%+ = 100, 10% = 75, 5% = 50, 1% = 20, 0% = 0. New indexers with strong returns benefit directly. |
| Query Volume | 7% | Cumulative query fees collected in GRT — proof the indexer serves real query traffic. Anchors: 100K+ GRT = 100, 50K = 90, 10K = 70, 1K = 50, >0 = 15, 0 = 0. Weight reduced from 12% to mitigate structural advantage for long-running indexers. |
| Cut Stability | 7% | How long since the indexer last changed reward/query fee parameters. Longer = more predictable. 180+ days = 100, <7 days = 30. Floor raised (was 10, now 30) so new indexers aren't punished for being new. Bonus +10 if a cooldown period is set. Hard cap for greedy cuts (100% reward cut → forced to 5). |
| Delegation Trend | 4% | 7-day net delegation flow as a percentage of total delegated stake. Positive inflow = crowd confidence; outflow = warning. Low weight because it's inherently noisy. No delegation = neutral 50. |
| Score | Grade |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | A |
| 65–79 | B |
| 50–64 | C |
| 35–49 | D |
| 0–34 | F |
- No black boxes — every dimension, weight, and threshold is visible in
src/lib/risk-score.ts - Zero extra API calls — scores are computed from data the enrichment pipeline already fetches
- Delegation-neutral self-stake — attracting delegation is a sign of trust, not something to penalise
- Delegator-first — the score explicitly penalises high cuts; an operationally excellent indexer that takes 100% of rewards still scores poorly because delegators earn nothing
- Feedback welcome — if the weights or thresholds feel off, open an issue
The community leaderboard at /leaderboard celebrates the indexers who contribute most to The Graph network — not just the most profitable ones. It's a "community favourites" ranking: indexers who serve more subgraphs, earn community votes, and maintain trust score highest.
Scores are computed on the 1st of each month via cron, using percentile normalisation (p10/p90) across all active indexers.
Delegator-focused metrics like APR and effective cut live on the Indexer Directory scoring (see above), not here.
| Component | Dimension | Max Points | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network Service | Subgraph Coverage | 20 | Distinct active deployments, percentile-normalised |
| Query Fees Earned | 10 | Percentile-normalised | |
| Allocation Efficiency | 10 | Fees-to-allocated ratio, percentile-normalised | |
| Community Votes | Community Votes | 10 | Proportional to highest-voted indexer. 1 vote/wallet/month; delegator votes count 5x. EIP-712 gasless signing. |
| Trust & Stability | Cut Stability | 12 | 12-month net change in reward cut |
| Tenure | 5 | Months active: 24+ = 5, 12+ = 3, 6+ = 2, 3+ = 1 | |
| Delegation Retention | 3 | 30-day net delegation flow | |
| Protocol Health | REO Eligibility | 6 | Oracle-sourced status |
| Economics | Delegation Capacity | 5 | Bucket: <70% = 5, 70-90% = 3, 90-99% = 1, 100% = 0 |
Total: 81 points, normalised to 0–100.
Multiplicative penalties stack and reduce the final score. Minimum multiplier: 0.10.
| Penalty | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Active slashing dispute | ×0.50 |
| Accepted slashing (< 12 months) | ×0.60 |
| Accepted slashing (12–24 months) | ×0.85 |
| 3+ reward cut increases (12 months) | ×0.75 |
| Zero query fees (30 days, active allocs) | ×0.85 |
| Self-stake below 100K GRT | ×0.90 |
| POI consensus < 50% (30 days) | ×0.80 |
The #1 ranked indexer at month-end is named Indexer of the Month.
