Running a validator helps protect and decentralize the Solana network and earns continued rewards through the stake you can attract to your validator.
Our hosted validators utilize the infrastructure we have built over time as a top RPC provider and running validators on the Solana network.
On the validators we run, we ensure:
Access by a limited team.
Node identity keys in-memory only.
24/7 monitoring to ensure consistent voting.
Triton One owns the validator identity key. You or your team control the vote account withdrawal authority. Control over the withdrawal authority means you have complete control over the vote account.
Before you commit to running a validator, you should make sure that:
You are willing to fund vote fees until you have attracted enough stake to break even; this is approximately 1 SOL/day.
You can attract enough delegations to break even (TX fees - voting expenses) and make a profit eventually. Currently, this is in the range of 375 000 delegated SOL.
If you merely wish to access staking rewards, you can also stake with existing validators without running your own; see for details about existing validators and stake pools.
