## Table

The validator table lists every validator, and some stats on the TAO staked to each validator:

* **Name**: The name of the Validator
* **Dominance**:  Describing [Stake Weight](https://taostats.io/docs/concepts/staking/stake-weight) as a percentage of all validator stake weights. Adds to 1.
* **Noms** The number of nominators - both alpha and root.  Note: One wallet staking alpha on 30 subnets counts as 30 nominators.
* **24hr**: This is the change in nominators in the last 24 hours.
* **Active**: The number of subnets where the validator has a parent or child validator running.
* **Total Weight**: A weighted tao value.  Tao staked on root is counted at 18%. All alpha is converted into tao.
* **Weight Change**: 24h change in Total Weight.
* **Root Stake**:  The amount of tao staked on root.
* **Alpha Stake** The amount of alpha staked across all subnets, converted into tao.
* **Take**: The percentage kept by the validator. The remainder is distributed to stakeholders.
