validatorL1Votes - HyperCore Info Endpoint

Get validator voting information for L1 operations on Hyperliquid, including consensus data and validator participation.

When to Use This Endpoint

The validatorL1Votes endpoint is essential for:

• Validator Monitoring — Track validator voting activity and participation
• Consensus Analysis — Analyze voting patterns and consensus formation
• Network Health — Monitor validator coordination on L1 operations
• Staking Insights — Understand validator behavior for staking decisions

Common Use Cases

1. Monitor Validator Participation

Track validator activity on L1 operations:

async function monitorValidatorActivity() {
  const data = await getValidatorL1Votes();

  console.log('=== Validator L1 Voting Activity ===\n');
  console.log(`Total vote records: ${data.votes.length}`);

  if (data.votes.length === 0) {
    console.log('No recent L1 voting activity');
  }
}

2. Analyze Consensus Patterns

Analyze voting patterns and consensus formation:

async function analyzeConsensus() {
  const data = await getValidatorL1Votes();

  return {
    totalVotes: data.votes.length,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    hasActivity: data.votes.length > 0
  };
}

// Usage
const analysis = await analyzeConsensus();
console.log(`Consensus analysis:`, analysis);

3. Build Validator Dashboard

Create a monitoring dashboard for validators:

async function getValidatorDashboard() {
  try {
    const votes = await getValidatorL1Votes();

    return {
      status: 'operational',
      voteCount: votes.votes.length,
      lastUpdated: new Date().toISOString()
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      status: 'error',
      error: error.message
    };
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Poll regularly — Monitor validator activity at consistent intervals
2. Cache appropriately — Cache results for several minutes to reduce load
3. Handle empty responses — Account for periods with no L1 voting activity
4. Implement timeouts — Use reasonable timeout values (10-30 seconds)
5. Monitor trends — Track voting patterns over time for insights
