Operator
Simply Staking runs validators across 2 chains. Their average commission across the networks they support is about 5.0%, which they take from validation rewards before passing the rest on to delegators. Their service is published at simplystaking.com.

Briefing
Scale
Simply Staking is focused on a small set of chains — running 2 validators across 2 chains, with competitive commission profile (avg 5.0%). Stake delegated to this operator earns the chain's network reward rate minus that commission, so a chain paying 5% with a 5% commission yields ~4.75% to the delegator.
Risk
No jailed validators detected on the chains we cover at the time of last refresh. Slashing risk on any individual validator passes through pro-rata to its delegators — operator-wide insurance is rare. Spreading large positions across two operators reduces concentration risk.
How we measure
Numbers above are pulled live from each chain's own RPC / LCD endpoint and refreshed hourly. Stake totals are denominated in each chain's native units (ATOM, SOL, ETH …) and converted to USD via spot prices for cross-chain comparability. Where a chain doesn't expose a particular field, that row hides rather than rendering a zero — nil values do not become 0.
Operates on 2 chains
Each card is the operator's lead validator on that chain — the one with the highest reward rate.

Frequently asked
Simply Staking is a professional staking operator — a company that runs validator infrastructure across blockchains so people don't have to. They currently run validators on 2 chains we track.
When you delegate stake, you grant the operator the right to validate on your behalf — you don't transfer custody. The two questions to ask: have they been slashed (the chart on this page would show the gaps), and is their commission reasonable for the chain. The page header above shows their average fee, and the chain coverage section shows their reach.
On chains where they run multiple validators, the chain coverage section above shows the lead validator (highest reward rate after fees). Click into a chain card and you'll see all of their validators on that chain plus how each ranks. Lower commission isn't always better — uptime and stake size matter too.
Yes, but it's not free. You either undelegate (which triggers the chain's unbonding period — a few days to a few weeks with no rewards) and then re-delegate, or use a 'redelegate' transaction if the chain supports it (Cosmos chains do; some chains don't). On Ethereum, switching pools means selling one LST for another, which has a transaction cost.
