StakeCraft's @solana validator is now operating from Ring 3, in line with our support for @doublezero's approach to deploying validators across unique, low-concentration locations.
Moving away from saturated regions and overused infrastructure providers isn't just a technical decision. It's a network health decision.
DC stake: 0.622% | ASN: 1.371% | Country/City: 0.679%
Less clustering. Less dependency. More resilience.
This is what decentralization looks like in practice.

A @cosmos validator in 2021 staked ATOM when it was trading under $8.
They didn't trade it. Didn't touch it. Just ran their node, collected staking rewards, and reinvested every single epoch.
By March 2022, ATOM hit $44. But here's what most people miss, the validator wasn't just sitting on price appreciation. They had been auto-compounding rewards the entire time, which meant their staked position had quietly grown by nearly 35% in volume before the price even moved.
So when the rally hit, they weren't just riding it on their original stake. They were riding it on a position that staking had already inflated for them.
Two wealth events. One decision. Zero trades.
The people watching charts made money that cycle. The person watching their node made more.
BetterStakeSol 0.3.1 is out. Here's everything that changed.
1. Smarter Transaction Signing. The app now detects which wallet your active profile uses and opens it directly. No more system picker interrupting your flow every time you sign.
⚡ @stakecraft Weekly Update
Infrastructure doesn't stand still, and neither do we.
This week, we've pushed upgrades across multiple networks while continuing to build the tools that make staking more reliable for everyone. Here's a full breakdown of what's changed:
On the @DoubleZeroOps front, both Mainnet and Testnet are now live on v0.15.0, keeping both environments in sync as the network matures.
@solana Mainnet has been upgraded to Agave v3.1.11, ensuring our validators stay current with the latest client improvements.
@CantonNetwork has seen updates across all three environments this week. Devnet is now running v0.5.17, Testnet is on v0.5.16, and Mainnet has been brought up to v0.5.15, a steady cadence of progress across the board.
@WalrusProtocol Mainnet has also received an upgrade, now running v1.45.2. And on the build side, BetterStakeSol continues to take shape, currently at v0.3.1.
And on the build side, BetterStakeSol continues to take shape, currently at v0.3.1.
Every version bump represents hours of testing, coordination, and a commitment to keeping the networks we support running at their best. This is the work that happens behind the scenes, and we think it deserves to be seen.
More updates coming. Watch this space.

Most staking apps fail for one simple reason.
They’re built like trading apps.
But staking isn’t about frequency but rather it’s about reliability, clarity, and trust over time.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been building BetterStakeSol around that idea. Here’s what we’re seeing ↓
Privacy in crypto has mostly meant hiding balances.
But real-world applications don’t just need privacy, they need computation on private data that can still be verified.
That’s the problem @TACEO_IO is solving.
We’ve joined TACEO as a validator to support its Private Shared State architecture, built on MPC and coSNARKs, enabling multiple parties to compute and verify outcomes on encrypted data without revealing the underlying inputs.
This isn’t theoretical.
This is infrastructure for systems where privacy and correctness both matter from finance to AI.
From our perspective, this is where the stack is heading:
not everything public, but everything provable.
@StakeCraft is now securing TACEO.
Crypto spent years making everything transparent.
Now we’re learning that real systems need privacy + verifiability together. @TACEO_IO is building exactly in that direction.
We’ve joined as a validator to support that layer. @stakecraft is now on TACEO.
Epoch 942 on @solana , StakeCraft ranked Top 3 in MEV captured per block. At first glance, it might seem like a niche metric, but it’s actually one of the clearest indicators of how well a validator is performing in real conditions.
MEV per block reflects how efficiently a validator is constructing blocks, how well its infrastructure is optimized, and how effectively it integrates with relayers and client setups. In a network with 770+ validators and ~6.4% average APY, these small differences in execution are what separate average performance from optimized performance.
Most validators participate in consensus, but only a few consistently extract value efficiently. MEV capture isn’t something that improves overnight. It usually reflects sustained operational discipline, better latency management, and continuous tuning of infrastructure over time.
From our perspective at @stakecraft, this is the part of validation that remains largely invisible. Users see rewards, but behind those rewards is a layer of optimization that determines how consistently value is captured at the block level.
Ranking in the Top 3 for MEV per block in this epoch is simply a reflection of that ongoing work.

🧵 Staking News This Week
The staking landscape continues to evolve across Proof-of-Stake ecosystems.
From validator infrastructure upgrades to cross-chain execution networks, several developments this week highlight how staking is becoming foundational to blockchain security and utility.
Here are the key signals 👇
We’ve released a new version of our Solana staking app - BetterStakeSol v0.2.3.
What’s new:
• Liquid Staking: Browse and stake LSTs directly in the app, with filters by holders, TVL, and pool type
• Multiple Wallets: Manage multiple wallets with secure, independent profile
• Hide Balance: Long press to hide balances across the app for added privacy
• Close Token Accounts: Convert unused token accounts into staked SOL and reclaim rent
• Unstake All: Deactivate all delegations instantly from the staking screen
• SOL Price in Header: See SOL price and 24h change directly in the app
You can download and use BetterStakeSol on the Solana dApp Store (Saga phones) and Android devices.
Give the new version a try and share your feedback with the community.
