<summary><strong>How Everstake deduces validator fee?</strong></summary>

“Validator fee” refers to the rewards received by Validator for participating in the Blockchain network Validation process. Everstake determines the validator fee through a process involving analysis and consideration of various factors, such as network requirements, operational costs, and market dynamics.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Control over User's Funds</strong></summary>

Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Rewards Distribution</strong></summary>

Sei Network offers a staking mechanism that allows users to earn rewards while contributing to the network's security and decentralization.&#x20;

Staking rewards on the Sei Network are derived from two primary sources:

1. **Gas Fees**: A portion of the transaction fees collected on the network is allocated to staking rewards.
2. **Genesis Token Unlocks**: Tokens from the initial supply are gradually released and distributed as staking rewards.

These rewards are distributed to delegators in proportion to their stake, with validators retaining a commission fee. The commission rate varies by validator and can be viewed on the Sei App or by querying the validator information on-chain.
