Learn how to receive stake from The Vault's pool to bolster your validator.
To qualify for stake, validator operators must meet the Solana Foundation Delegation Criteria (SFDC) in the following areas:
Not part of the super-minority
Maximum commission
Vote credits
Decentralization
Minimum version of the validator client
Note: Operating a testnet validator is not required.
The Vault now allocates 90% of the undirected stake to validators on the allowlist and 10% to the gauges reserve.
To join the allowlist and qualify for stake, a validator operator must:
General Delegation Criteria:
Fulfill the standard SFDC requirements.
Additional Requirements:
Operate using the Jito MEV client with a maximum MEV commission equal to the SFDC’s maximum validator commission.
Meet at least one of the following:
Be a dApp team running a validator to support its operations.
Have a community actively involved in the validator's operations.
Be a validator with a proven track record of contributing to the broader Solana ecosystem.
By supporting decentralized stake distribution and helping builders on Solana generate more revenue, The Vault directly strengthens the financial stability of the Solana builder ecosystem.
