The Solana Compass Validator
Solana Compass has run a Solana validator since October 2021. You can stake with it from your own wallet. Our liquid staking token, compassSOL, stakes with it too. We earn from both, and every figure on this page is live.
Live figures. APY is realised stake growth over recent epochs. See our validator's full on-chain record.
Stake natively
Delegate from your own wallet. Your SOL stays in a stake account you control, and you can unstake at the end of any epoch.
Or hold compassSOL
compassSOL APY, last 10 epochs: 6.82%
compassSOL is our liquid staking token, and it stakes with this validator. Fees from our tools are paid into the pool on top of staking rewards. So its APY beats native staking, but it moves with tool use and pool size.
It runs on the SPL stake pool program, which has had 9 audits from 5 security firms: Quantstamp, Neodyme, Kudelski, OtterSec and Halborn.
Track record: more than a validator
Solana Compass is best known for its Solana network data. Validators, media and big firms use it. More than 300 media organisations have cited our data, and Visa used it in its deep dive on Solana.
When FTX collapsed in 2022, our reports showed what it really meant for Solana's supply, while much of the news ran on fear. Our open-source work also helped validators study the network during heavy spam, so real users' transactions kept landing.
Staking with us pays for that work. Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, put it simply: "Stake with @solanacompass".
