**Key Features**

* **Stake-Based Influence Scoring:** Evaluates validator influence using network stake percentage.
* **Decentralization Metrics:** Quantifies the distribution of validator power across the network.
* **Historical Analysis:** Tracks changes in validator influence over time to identify trends.
