[Phase @phase_]

Phase Delegation's website is now live.

This affects both new prospective validators and current program members.

More details below.

What if you raised your validator commission to 5%?
What if SOL drops to $100?
What if you get 50k more stake?
Stop guessing. Simulate it.

🚀 Introducing solana-validator-ha, our open source, gossip-based high availability (HA) manager for Solana validators.

While failover and HA tools exist, they either lack true automation or require extra dependencies and infrastructure that can introduce single points of failure and operational complexity.

So we set out to build something different, completely leveraging Solana's own network. 🧵

Impressive work, @orangefincrypto, second MAINNET lockout violation in just 10 days. This time it cost me and others a serious chunk of vote credits. You were warned after the first one and clearly chose to ignore it. Stop testing in production at everyone else’s expense.

Impressed by the depth, transparency, and functionality of @JPoolSolana portals. Clear data, thoughtful UX, and tooling that genuinely raises the bar for the ecosystem. Kudos to the team, outstanding work!

@0xTheDCguy @StarkeFinance And @meyerbro :) … just to be clear…

[meyerbro @meyerbro]

Are you really profitable with @MarinadeFinance SAM?

📊 Only 29% are (with SFDP)
📉 15% without SFDP matching

@s4bs94 @TimGarcia0 Thanks mate for explaining. Impressive.

@TimGarcia0 @s4bs94 Thanks Tim, let’s see what they say.

It would be great if SFDP validators could transfer or share their “stake entitlement” with other validators, effectively telling SFDP or a pool to delegate their share of stake to a different node of their choice.

This could also work within existing stake pools (especially those that received SFDP stake), allowing operators to form cooperative groups.

For example, five SFDP validators could combine into one stronger node, receiving 250k SOL total stake while keeping just three servers (mainnet, spare, and testnet) instead of fifteen. They’d spend about 2 SOL in voting fees per epoch instead of 10 SOL, share profits, and rotate operational responsibilities, dramatically cutting costs while keeping everyone active.

This approach could help small validators (<150k SOL) survive and stay part of the network instead of being forced out in the coming months.

FYI @TimGarcia0

@solblaze_org I’m genuinely disappointed to see unknown nodes being selected like this, while long-standing and reliable validators continue to be overlooked. Some of the newly chosen nodes don’t even seem to need that stake. This was a missed opportunity.

@HypoNyms @temporal_xyz can you fix your node please? Its giving preference to only your terraswitch buddies and cohosters

💎 Using Direct Staking because you trust a specific validator?
Here’s something you might not know: stake matching.

For every $SOL you delegate, JPool adds the same amount (up to 20,000 $SOL per validator) — doubling your support for the validator you choose.

And of course, the same applies if you’re direct-staking to your own validator.

@Austin_Federa @JaredDoubleZero @doublezero Sorry, but we (validators) are paying for the fiber. It’s indeed very expensive. You must understand that the current stake doesn’t pay for your charges. Specially for someone already running at loss… We all want a healthy relationship here.

[meyerbro @meyerbro]

I raised this with @JaredDoubleZero: @doublezero applies fees on total SOL inflow, ignoring validator margins.

A 200k staked validator loses ~50% to vote fees before profit even starts.

Applying another fee there discourages small validators.

[meyerbro @meyerbro]

@Austin_Federa @JaredDoubleZero @doublezero Did you read the part where 50% of the costs to run a 200k validator is voting fees. This means that a smaller validator (100k stake for example) is going to run at loss and you will charge commission on their loss. Looks like you guys don’t care. You can wait for alpenglow too.
