Solana Compass
Solana Compass is an independent Solana analytics and staking platform. We have operated a validator on Solana mainnet since September 2021, and the data it produces powers the network statistics, staking and validator analytics, and ecosystem news published across this site.
Everything we publish — from staking statistics and network analytics to Solana ecosystem news — is grounded in on-chain data we collect and verify against our own infrastructure.
