Apply

Join the SolBlaze Verified Validators program to gain eligibility for additional stake from BlazeStake and our partners! The SolBlaze Verified Validators program verifies the legitimacy and uniqueness of validator operators based on their contributions to the Solana ecosystem. All validators who are approved for the SolBlaze Verified Validators program will be eligible for >10k SOL in stake (dependent on queue size and TVL).

Validator

Note: validators with rewards commission exceeding 5% or MEV commission exceeding 10% are not eligible to join the SolBlaze Verified Validators program (validators that do not distribute MEV rewards to stakers are considered to have 100% MEV commission). Validators with lower commission amounts will be prioritized in the stake queue and will be eligible for more stake.

Does your validator receive stake from SFDP?

I certify that I am only submitting one validator to the SolBlaze Verified Validators program on behalf of my entity and that I am not attempting to apply to this program with a sybil validator (or with a validator operated by an entity that also operates another validator that has already applied for this program).
I certify that my validator does not conduct any malicious operations, including but not limited to sandwiching, front-running, intentional vote lagging, transaction censorship (beyond regulatory compliance purposes), commission theft (changing commissions to steal staking rewards), lockout violations, or other potentially slashable offenses.
I certify that all information provided in this application is truthful and accurate, and I understand that if any information I provided is found to be false or misleading, my validator will be put on a blacklist that prevents me from receiving stake from BlazeStake and its partners.

5m veBLZE Requirement

As a mechanism to prevent spam and encourage validator involvement in the SolBlaze ecosystem, your wallet must hold 5m veBLZE (veBLZE is a representation of locked BLZE in SolBlaze Governance, where 1 veBLZE = 1 5y-locked BLZE and 0.1 veBLZE = 1 unlocked BLZE). If your wallet's balance drops below 5m veBLZE, you will no longer be eligible for stake through the SolBlaze Verified Validators program.

To convert 5m BLZE into 5m veBLZE, first deposit the BLZE into SolBlaze Governance on Realms. Then, select My governance power, choose the Lock Tokens option, and set Lockup Type: Constant, Amount to Lock: 5000000, Duration: 5y. Confirm that the Initial Vote Weight Multiplier is set to 10x to ensure a 1:1 conversion between BLZE and veBLZE (check the Lockup Type and Duration if the multiplier is wrong) and then click on Lock Tokens to confirm. If successful, your governance power should be 5m votes (also known as 5m veBLZE).

You currently have veBLZE which the 5m veBLZE minimum requirement (this value may take a few minutes to update).
