# Signer Delegations & Analytics

With the launch of **PoX cycle 84** and the introduction of **Nakamoto**, Signers were brought into the Stacks ecosystem. By delegating STX to a trusted set of Signers, **StackingDAO actively contributes to the network’s security**.

As top-tier node operators become Signers, it highlights both the maturity of the ecosystem and its ability to attract experienced participants. Anyone can explore real-time and historical delegation data at [app.stackingdao.com/analytics](https://app.stackingdao.com/analytics).

StackingDAO works with a distributed group of institutional-grade validators, each with a strong track record of uptime and billions in stacked assets under management:

* ALUM Labs
* Blockdaemon
* Chorus One
* DeSpread
* Kiln
* Luganodes
* Restake
* InfStones
* Foundry
* Hashkey
* Xverse
* Juicy Stake
* Stacking DAO

Each of the above entities runs a Stacks Signer since the PoX cycle 84 (\~16th of August 2024). The amount of STX delegated by StackingDAO to each Signer is dynamic, adjusting over time based on each Signer’s uptime and performance to optimise yield.

Signers receive a 5% fee from the stacking yield generated on STX deposited through stSTX and stSTXbtc.&#x20;
