Timely Vote Credits (TVC) refers to a new feature designed and approved by Solana validator operators to incentivize validators to submit consensus votes in a timely manner. To do accomplish this goal, TVC will award extra vote "credits" to validators whose votes are included in blocks with relatively low latency. Earned vote credits are directly tied to the proportion of inflation rewards that are awarded to validators.
