# platform.getCurrentValidators

List the current validators of the given Subnet.

This method will use `10` [Compute Units](/v1/about/billing.md).

***

## Reference: [Here](https://docs.avax.network/reference/avalanchego/p-chain/api#platformgetcurrentvalidators)

## **Parameters**

* `subnetID` - string - (optional) The subnet whose current validators are returned. If omitted, returns the current validators of the Primary Network
* `nodeIDs` - string - (optional) A list of the nodeIDs of pending validators to request. If omitted, all pending validators are returned. If a specified nodeID is not in the set of pending validators, it will not be included in the response

## Returns

* `subnetID` is the Subnet whose current validators are returned. If omitted, returns the current validators of the Primary Network.
* `nodeIDs` is a list of the NodeIDs of current validators to request. If omitted, all current validators are returned. If a specified NodeID is not in the set of current validators, it will not be included in the response.
* `validators`:
  * `txID` is the validator transaction.
  * `startTime` is the Unix time when the validator starts validating the Subnet.
  * `endTime` is the Unix time when the validator stops validating the Subnet.
  * `stakeAmount` is the amount of tokens this validator staked. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `nodeID` is the validator’s node ID.
  * `weight` is the validator’s weight when sampling validators. Omitted if `subnetID` is a PoS Subnet.
  * `validationRewardOwner` is an `OutputOwners` output which includes `locktime`, `threshold` and array of `addresses`. Specifies the owner of the potential reward earned from staking. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `delegationRewardOwner` is an `OutputOwners` output which includes `locktime`, `threshold` and array of `addresses`. Specifies the owner of the potential reward earned from delegations. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `potentialReward` is the potential reward earned from staking. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `delegationFeeRate` is the percent fee this validator charges when others delegate stake to them. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `uptime` is the % of time the queried node has reported the peer as online and validating the Subnet.
  * `connected` is if the node is connected and tracks the Subnet.
  * `signer` is the node's BLS public key and proof of possession. Omitted if the validator doesn't have a BLS public key.
  * `delegatorCount` is the number of delegators on this validator. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `delegatorWeight` is total weight of delegators on this validator. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet.
  * `delegators` is the list of delegators to this validator. Omitted if `subnetID` is not a PoS Subnet. Omitted unless `nodeIDs` specifies a single NodeID.
    * `txID` is the delegator transaction.
    * `startTime` is the Unix time when the delegator started.
    * `endTime` is the Unix time when the delegator stops.
    * `stakeAmount` is the amount of nAVAX this delegator staked.
    * `nodeID` is the validating node’s node ID.
    * `rewardOwner` is an `OutputOwners` output which includes `locktime`, `threshold` and array of `addresses`.
    * `potentialReward` is the potential reward earned from staking

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.validationcloud.io/v1/avalanche/p-chain/platform.getcurrentvalidators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
