Tech Talk: Chorus One - The Future of Solana's Performance
At Breakpoint 2025, Brian Crain, a long-time Solana validator operator and investor from Chorus One, revealed the ambitious roadmap that will fundamentally change how the network operates—from consensus mechanisms to block production—with some changes potentially arriving as early as 2027. ... Chorus One recently conducted experiments testing the technology's effectiveness, finding that it helped reduce latency for validators located far from data centers, though benefits for geographically proximate nodes are stil...
Chorus One
Chorus One is an institutional staking infrastructure company founded in 2018, operating validators across 30-plus proof-of-stake networks. It serves institutional clients including exchanges, custodians, asset managers, and family offices, providing three core offerings: public nodes accepting delegation from retail and institutional stakers; enterprise staking with custom infrastructure builds for clients needing dedicated validator capacity; and white-label validators that partners brand as their own while Chorus One handles all infrastructure. The company holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, runs FIPS 140-2 compliant hardware security modules, and maintains a 250,000 USD delegator protection pool on Solana refreshed quarterly. Its Staking SDK lets wallet builders and custodians integrate programmatic staking across 30-plus chains including Solana, Ethereum, Cosmos, Avalanche, NEAR, and Polkadot, with local transaction signing so private keys never leave client systems. The OPUS ETH vault removes the 32 ETH minimum, allowing institutions to stake any amount of ETH, mint the osETH liquid staking token, and restake via EigenLayer in one transaction, using StakeWise audited contracts. Chorus One manages a 30 million USD venture fund (Chorus Ventures) investing in PoS networks and interoperability protocols. On Solana, Chorus One has been active since the early validator era, posting a skip rate of 2.03 percent versus the 5.19 percent network average, and blocks containing 1,696 transactions on average versus 1,573 network average. It integrated the Paladin MEV protocol for its Palidator configuration, returning riskless MEV yield to delegators. It co-built Lido for Solana (stSOL), now deprecated. In January 2026 it partnered with Ledger Enterprise for institutional staking of ETH, SOL, DOT, and XTZ. Staking access is available through Phantom, Solflare, and Ledger Live with approximately 6 percent APR on SOL. Chorus One publishes deep crypto-economics research including analyses of Solana scheduler design, MEV dynamics, and DeFi market-making efficiency benchmarked against SEC Rule 605 standards. In February 2026 Bitwise Asset Management acquired Chorus One, folding it into Bitwise Onchain Solutions. At acquisition Chorus One had over 2.2 billion USD in staked assets across its networks and more than 100,000 users staking through its public nodes. Chorus One does not issue a native token; its ecosystem assets are SOL staked with its validator, osETH from OPUS, and the legacy stSOL from Lido for Solana.
