# Missed Block Ratio

**Overview**

This indicator tracks the total number of blocks that have been missed by Stakewise validators over a certain period of time. It also provides a ratio of how many blocks have been missed by stakewise validators compared to all validators which helps determine the efficiency of validators within the protocol.

**How can I use it?**

Missing blocks do occur for validators for various reasons, but as long as this amount is low (there are roughly 7,200 blocks a day), it should not cause issues for the validator. Concern should arise for users if all the blocks missed over a given period of time are exclusively by validators in Stakewise overall or for a specific vault. This would indicate that validators are having issues performing their tasks and are at a higher risk of slashes and likely missing out on rewards that would then be passed on to osETH hodlers.
