Casper

The week on Casper: active set down to 69, with 160M CSPR on two evicted validators

Casper's active set fell from 70 to 69 validators this week. Two evicted keys, one of them evicted on 3 November, hold about 160M CSPR that earns nothing until their operators reactivate them. Total stake slipped to 11.38B CSPR.

Casper ran steadily this week, with a block time of 8.0 seconds and a health score close to 100% on BitBasic's dashboard. The main changes since BitBasic's last weekly update on 4 November are one fewer validator in the active set, a second evicted validator with stake still attached, and a small fall in total stake. This update uses BitBasic's own Casper data as of 23:00 UTC on 11 November 2026.

Active set down to 69

The active set has 69 validators, down from 70 a week ago, out of 100 slots. Every era BitBasic recorded from era 24,519 (which started at 23:07 UTC on 9 November) to era 24,542 had a committee of 69. The auction keeps the same set for the next era, and no bids are queued.

Two evicted validators still hold stake

On Casper, a validator that does no work in an era, or signs conflicting blocks, is evicted at the end of that era. Casper does not slash stake, but an evicted validator and its delegators earn nothing until the operator reactivates the bid.

  • Stakepire, key 01748d…de52: BitBasic now lists this key as evicted. It holds 129.72M CSPR, almost all of it from 24 delegators, and charges 10% commission. Over the last 84 eras its finality signatures were rewarded in 92.7% of cases, with 2,542 missed. Two other keys under the Stakepire name are active.
  • 013725…d751: evicted on 3 November, as BitBasic reported last week, and still not reactivated eight days later. It holds 30.4M CSPR from 743 delegators.

Together these two keys hold about 160M CSPR that is earning no rewards. Delegators on either can check its status on BitBasic's validator pages linked below. Undelegating takes 7 eras.

Stake and rewards

  • Total stake is 11.38B CSPR, down from 11.47B a week ago. That is 56.4% of the 17.45B CSPR circulating supply, down from 56.9%.
  • There are 15,750 delegators, three more than a week ago, with 20,957 delegations.
  • Staking yield, annualised over the last 84 eras with rewards restaked, is 10.7% before commission, against 10.6% last week.
  • The four largest active validators hold 36.5% of active stake; the largest holds 12.0%.

Block production

In the 24 eras BitBasic recorded from 9 to 11 November, between 99.67% and 99.89% of block slots were filled, and no era fell below 99.6%. The network runs protocol version 2.2.2, unchanged this week.
