bor_getCurrentValidators

Last updated:

bor_getCurrentValidators returns the validator set that is currently active in Polygon's Bor consensus layer. On mainnet this is an array of roughly 100–150 validator objects, each describing one staking validator: its sequential ID, its signer address, its voting power (stake weight), and its accum (the proposer-rotation accumulator used to decide who proposes the next block).

This is a Bor-consensus method, not a standard EVM call — it exposes Polygon's proof-of-stake validator state that generic Geth-style endpoints do not provide. Use it for validator-set monitoring, tracking stake distribution, anticipating proposer rotation, or building governance/compliance snapshots.

The validator set rotates once per epoch — an epoch is ~1024 blocks (64 sprints × 16 blocks), about ~36 minutes on Polygon. Between epoch boundaries the set is effectively static, so polling on every block is wasteful. Recommend a client-side cache with a TTL of ~30 minutes. The response payload is light (~10–15 KB for ~120 validators), so the cost is the request count, not the body size.

The bor namespace requires the Pro tier. Calling it on a lower tier returns -32002 tier_insufficient.
