CryptoVik Validator
Solana validator and open tools for the ecosystem
On Solana mainnet since September 2021. Building open-source dashboards, CLI tools, and research that help validators and delegators see the network more clearly.
What this validator actually does
Solana mainnet since Sep 2021
Joined mainnet on September 8, 2021. Continuous operation, early adopter of Jito MEV, Jito BAM, and DoubleZero multicast. Many years of stable operation with no harmful behavior on the network.
Builds in the open
Open data pipeline, open dashboards, open CLI tools. Snapshots since epoch 820 and the full pool registry are public on GitHub. Methodology, code, and datasets are reusable by other operators and research projects.
In community goods staking programs
Included in priority programs by JPool, BlazeStake, Vault, and others - through performance-based criteria and approved applications. The list keeps growing as new programs review the validator.

- Full historical data since epoch 820 (July 2025), preserved on GitHub
- All snapshots, the pool registry, and logos are public and reusable

Fhks5gukimP6vxKYbRY4V1aw888EgHhpdDSscD9V6bub On-chain staking stays in your custody. Additional Jito MEV rewards apply.
JPool
Delegate to CryptoVik via JPool's Direct Stake. You keep self-custody and receive JSOL, a liquid staking token, so you stay liquid while supporting your validator. JPool has been operating on Solana since 2021 and is one of the largest staking pools in the ecosystem.
BlazeStake
BlazeStake's direct stake pre-filled with CryptoVik vote. You receive bSOL (an LST); rewards accrue on-chain. BlazeStake is known for its transparent performance-based validator selection and an active DeFi presence across the Solana ecosystem.
Vault (vSOL)
Vault Direct Stake API with vSOL as the LST. Vault focuses on integrations across other apps and protocols - if you are building on Solana, you can plug staking with CryptoVik into your product through their API or drop-in widget.
Direct stake flows are provided by third-party LST protocols.

Running a node on the community Alpenglow testnet cluster - early hands-on testing of the new Solana consensus design (Votor + Rotor, faster finality replacing Tower BFT and Proof of History).
Colosseum Frontier Hackathon
Competing in the Community Goods (Data and Analytics) track. Submitted the StakePool Dashboard for visibility and feedback from the wider Solana community.
