Solya —
Independent
Solana Validator
Running from São Paulo, Brazil — a deliberate choice for geographic decentralization. 0% commission on inflation and MEV. Always. Building open-source tools for the ecosystem.

Independent. Transparent.
Running since 2021.
Not a node-as-a-service. Not a datacenter rack with dozens of validators. One node, one operator, full attention.
0% Commission. Always.
Stakers receive 100% of inflation rewards and MEV. That's been the policy for nearly two years, and it's not going to change. When you stake with Solya, every reward the validator earns from inflation and Jito tips goes to you.
São Paulo, Brazil
Hosted in South America by choice. Most validators concentrate in Europe and the US — running in Brazil means your stake actively contributes to a more distributed, resilient Solana network.
DoubleZero Connected
Connected to DoubleZero's network and active in multicast — one transmission reaches all subscribers simultaneously, reducing bandwidth pressure across the cluster. Solana's infrastructure in South America gets stronger with every connected validator here.
SFDP Approved
Part of the Solana Foundation Delegation Program since 2021 — an optional program that evaluates uptime, performance, network contribution, and the absence of harmful practices like sandwiching or excessive commission — through multiple rounds of review.
Jito BAM Client
Running the BAM client, which moves transaction scheduling into secure, tamper-proof hardware. Transactions execute in strict order, making front-running and sandwich attacks structurally harder — better for users, better for the network.
One person, since 2021
Operated from Ukraine, independently. One node, full focus — and a growing set of open-source tools for the ecosystem, including SONDA, a network decentralization analytics project.
Solana Observatory for Network Decentralization Analysis
Back in 2023, while choosing a datacenter for Solya, we ran into a problem: geolocation data was inconsistent across every tool we checked — the same validator IP showing different countries depending on the source. But it wasn't just about accuracy. We wanted to understand which datacenters were already overloaded with stake, and which regions were genuinely underserved. So we wrote a script to find out. Then kept going.
SONDA now collects data across the full validator set, cross-verifies it from multiple geo sources, and calculates the metrics that actually matter for understanding how decentralized Solana really is. Open source, free to use, built for the whole ecosystem.
- Multi-source geolocation with cross-verification and discrepancy detection
- Decentralization metrics: Nakamoto Coefficient, HHI, Gini, Shannon Entropy
- DoubleZero device mapping with protocol-verified geo overrides
- Jito BAM endpoint monitoring and IBRL performance metrics per validator
- Datacenter and ASN analysis — who controls what, and how much
- Endpoint reachability monitoring across Jito, Harmonic, and Solana infrastructure
- All three clusters: mainnet-beta, testnet, devnet

Start earning.
0% commission, always.
Stake directly below using the native widget, or choose liquid staking through BlazeStake or JPool — you'll receive a liquid token you can use in DeFi while your SOL keeps earning.
How to stake manually via Phantom or Solflare
No widget needed — you can stake directly from any Solana wallet.
Tap on SOL in your asset list to open the token detail screen.
Tap ... More → Stake SOL → Native Staking. Phantom hides this to promote their liquid token — it's a few taps deeper.
Type Solya in the validator search, or paste the vote account address below.
Commission should show 0.00%. Confirm the transaction.
In Solflare, go to the Staking section from the main navigation.
Type Solya or paste the vote account, enter your amount, confirm.
