X1 Blockchain's network health metrics continue to impress, with block skip rates holding below 0.5% and the delinquent validator rate at just 0.17%. These figures place X1 among the healthiest blockchain networks in operation.
What skip rate means: When validators skip their assigned slot in the leader schedule, the network experiences a "skipped block." A skip rate below 0.5% means that over 99.5% of all scheduled blocks are being produced on time — a sign of excellent validator performance and network stability.
What delinquent rate means: A delinquent validator is one that has failed to vote in recent epochs. X1's 0.17% delinquent rate means that nearly all 798+ validators are actively participating in consensus, with fewer than 2 consistently failing to meet performance thresholds.
These metrics reflect the strength of X1's community validator program, where 713 nodes and 671 block producers across 65 countries provide genuine geographic decentralization.
