Security & Responsibility
Running a Solana validator since 2021 means security isn't a checklist — it's part of daily operations. Here's how Solya is managed and what that means for stakers.
Your funds are safe by design
Staking on Solana is non-custodial. Solya — like any validator on the network — has no access to your wallet or staked SOL. The Solana protocol handles reward distribution automatically at the end of each epoch. You can unstake at any time; funds become available once the current epoch closes, typically within 2–3 days.
Infrastructure
The node runs on dedicated hardware in São Paulo, Brazil (Vultr/Edgevana, AS20473) — a deliberate location choice for Solana's geographic decentralization. The server is hardened, access is restricted to key-based authentication, and the validator client follows Anza and Solana Foundation release guidance.
The node is connected to DoubleZero for filtered, low-latency validator communication, and runs the Jito BAM client for verifiable, tamper-resistant transaction scheduling.
Key management
Identity key, vote key, and withdraw authority are fully separated. The withdraw authority is stored offline and never touches the validator server. Commission is set to 0% and there are no plans to change that. If it ever did change, it would be announced publicly well in advance.
