I just applied for the @solblaze_org Verified Validators program.
Running validator since 2021, and building SONDA @SondaNetwork as my open-source contribution to Solana validator analytics and infrastructure visibility.
Alpenglow community cluster is now on https://t.co/CMB6phTvbW.
The 4th cluster joins mainnet, testnet, devnet on the same dashboard. Validators, RPC reachability, features, software versions. Same lens, four networks. ๐งต
Today we moved from Sรฃo Paulo to Singapore (May 25, 2026).
Jito's BAM rollout didn't reach SP in time, and StakeNet automation was about to de-stake non-BAM-co-located validators.
Same operator, same Vultr/Edgevana provider (AS20473), same 0% commission.
๐ธ๐ฌ Asia-Pacific. Still off the large stake concentration.

This is SONDA right now. Nice to have all of this at a glance. Jito BAM just crossed 30% of stake, testnet validators are adopting 4.0.0, and the path to better decentralization is still long. Plenty I still want to add to https://t.co/Kk17V12NFO, especially for validator and ASN choices.
๐โจ The Alpenglow community cluster does another genesis restart in less than an hour now!
Solya Validator is also participating.
Alpenglow will replaces TowerBFT, the biggest consensus change Solana has had.
Two years ago I needed a better way to choose where to host my validator. None of the existing tools gave me what I wanted. So I started building what I needed. Now it's open to everyone, and I'm still building it!
Shipped SONDA for Colosseum Frontier.
A live, public dashboard for the Solana network. Where validators run, the health of infrastructure layers (DoubleZero, Jito BAM, endpoints), and decentralization across mainnet, testnet, and devnet.

Just submitted SONDA to the @colosseum Frontier Hackathon.
The data pipeline has been running since 2023. The public dashboard is what we're building during the hackathon - https://t.co/Kk17V12NFO is already live, and it's going to grow a lot over the next five weeks.
Non-commercial, open source, built for the ecosystem.

Most Solana analytics tools show you stake distribution and uptime.
SONDA goes further: it cross-verifies the location of every validator from 4 independent geo sources, flags discrepancies, and calculates how concentrated the network actually is by country, ASN, and city.
Because a map built on wrong data gives false confidence.

SONDA is a Solana network analytics tool built by the Solya validator @SolyaOS.
It cross-verifies validator geolocation from 4 independent sources, calculates decentralization metrics and maps infrastructure across the full network.
Open source, work in progress.
https://t.co/FPvsaVULDp is live ๐
Everything about the Solya validator in one place: who we are and why are we are creating SONDA, native and liquid staking options (BlazeStake, JPool), all the dashboards pages of validator, and a /security page.
Code is public: https://t.co/yAYlhEXltk
My server is in Sรฃo Paulo ๐ง๐ท
Not because it's the cheapest option.
Running a node in South America means your stake actually contributes to a more distributed, resilient network.
Where is your validator running? ๐
#Solana#Decentralization
Started building my new validator website to learn Astro.
Ended up with a full landing page, dark/light theme, staking widget, /security page, and full SEO setup.
Took longer than planned. Learned more than expected.

I've been running a Solana validator since 2021 โ independently, from Ukraine.
Hosted in Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil.
0% on inflation & MEV, always.
SFDP approved, DZ connected, Jito BAM.
Building SONDA โ open-source network decentralization analysis.

Thrilled to announce that our @Solana validator in Brazil is now connected to the @DoubleZero!
With DoubleZero, I can help secure the network without compromise. #IBRL
