Pye is in Miami this week 🌴

We're attending @consensus2026, @SolanaEvents and hosting Coffee With Pye - where we're demoing a new DeFi product for validators.

If you stake, validate, or build in DeFi, come through.

@albertocevallos @solana Our goal was simple: reduce friction around stake account management - split, transfer authorities, activate/deactivate. Feedback welcome.

Nice little side quest

[Alberto Cevallos 🇺🇸 @albertocevallos]

https://t.co/RDIuKTq1P7 is live -- a visual dev tool for working with @Solana stake accounts.

It currently supports:
✅ Splitting
✅ Activating/Deactivating
✅ Transferring (withdraw, staker)

@DanielUrq and I have spent a lot of time working with stake accounts, so we decided to open-source an internal tool that was making our lives easier.

Introducing Pye CLI V2: Configurable Rewards 🚀

Validators can now:
- Share block rewards (SIMD-228)
- Override public commissions
- Attract & retain stake by offering higher rewards

SOL staking is getting PT/YT.

@pyefinance splits validator staking into a Principal Token and a Reward Token. Both tradable onchain. Stakers get flexibility on positions that were previously static.

We're participating in Pye's early beta, bringing our validator perspective into how programmable staking markets are designed before they scale.

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

Introducing the Pye Validator Dashboard.

A new app where validators can configure rewards, manage lockups, and track performance, all without touching the Solana CLI.

120+ validators supported 🥧

[Everstake @everstake_pool]

1/2 Glad to announce our partnership with @pyefinance, a protocol for managing and trading stake accounts on @solana.

Details: https://t.co/Svb61DwovE

With this partnership, $SOL delegators will access ​​more competitive rewards, validators will attract TVL, and the network itself will become more fair and decentralized.

pre-claude & post-claude

design engineer is the new meta

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

Hylo will be available as an eligible validator for delegation on Pye at launch.

As one of the fastest growing DeFi protocols on Solana, @hylo_so’s validator will be among the first available on the platform. Expanding validator choice is a core part of building open staking infrastructure on Solana.

[Dan @DanielUrq]

Implementing front-end QA while devs sleep as a product designer using Claude is the biggest power up I’ve felt in years

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

As programmable staking takes shape on Solana, we’re partnering with @Alchemy to operate the Pye CLI, collaborate with DATs, and pilot new DeFi products for stakers.

Alchemy stakers will be able to delegate via Pye at launch.

Weekly Wrap-Up 🥧

This week we focused on validator partnerships.

• @Vybe_Network joined and is now listed on Pye
• @ChainflowSol joined as a validator partner
• @HubraApp joined as a validator and SDK design partner

🚢

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

1/ We’re excited to be working with @solstrategies as a validator partner on Pye.

As the first SOL DAT, they’ve helped define what institutional staking on Solana looks like and where it’s headed. 🧵

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

We are excited to partner with @pyefinance to help shape the next generation of staking on Solana. 🥧

Programmable lockups, stake trading, and validator DeFi.

🧵

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

We’re working with @ChorusOne as both an investor and validator partner as we build programmable staking on Solana.

What that means:
– Chorus One will be listed on Pye as an eligible validator for staking
– Stakers will get early access to our trading platform and DeFi pilots

[Chorus One @ChorusOne]

Staking has long been a core part of securing Solana, but the way stake is managed and accessed has remained largely static.

That’s why we invested in @pyefinance, and are excited to explore programmable staking lockups and what real markets for stake could look like on Solana. 🤝

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

Pye Beta v0.2.3 is live.

This release focuses on reliability, access control, and quality-of-life improvements across validator and staker flows, with an emphasis on preventing edge cases identified during onboarding.

Full changelog: https://t.co/ZlVwZDBId7

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

Validators are increasingly operating as asset managers. That raises the bar for infrastructure security.

Our audit with @Neodyme is complete:
➡️No critical issues found
➡️All findings addressed

Why this matters:
Neodyme reviewed both implementation security and potential economic attack vectors, critical for any program interacting with protocol-level staking rewards.

[Pye 🥧 @pyefinance]

As we prepare for beta, we’re focused on making sure the foundations are solid.

We recently completed an independent security audit with @sec3dev. The review focused on core program logic and identified a number of issues that were addressed and resolved as part of our beta preparation.

Audits are a critical part of building financial infrastructure that handles locked capital and reward flows. This review is one of several steps we’re taking to ensure Pye is robust, correct, and ready as we move toward beta.

For those interested, the full audit report is available here: https://t.co/bRU9UhQbwn
