Delegation criteria
Every threshold the program publishes, for both clusters, read live from its own configuration. These are the exact numbers every verdict on this site is computed against.

Upcoming version requirements
The program announces client version floors several epochs ahead. Falling behind removes you from delegation until you upgrade.

Config is read from the program’s epoch-stats endpoint for the most recently completed epoch on each cluster. The two clusters complete epochs at different rates, so their config epochs will usually differ. For the official prose version of these rules, see solana.org/delegation-criteria.
