Securing the Solana (SOL) Network as a Validator

Solana is a high-performance, Proof-of-Stake blockchain designed for speed, scalability, and low fees. Capable of handling thousands of transactions per second, it enables fast finality and efficient execution — making it a strong foundation for decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized assets, and real-world blockchain applications.
SOL is the network’s native token, used for transaction fees and staking, playing a key role in securing the network and participating in consensus.

No. Blocksize cannot access, move, or control your assets at any time.
When you delegate your SOL to our validator, you retain full custody — your tokens never leave your wallet, and your private keys remain entirely under your control. Staking only delegates voting power, not ownership.

Blocksize operates under German jurisdiction with full transparency and a strong focus on institutional-grade compliance.
We follow regulatory best practices to meet the expectations of banks, asset managers, and professional investors — delivering secure, non-custodial services with clear legal alignment.

Blocksize operates high-availability validators with geo-redundant infrastructure, automated failover systems, and continuous monitoring. Validator keys are protected using secure storage environments and strict access protocols.
Our infrastructure complies with SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO/IEC 27001 standards — ensuring operational reliability and enterprise-grade security.

No — you don’t need to run any infrastructure to stake with Blocksize.
We manage all validator operations and network maintenance, so you can delegate your SOL and earn rewards without technical overhead or complexity.

Yes, but it’s near to non-existent when delegating with professional validators.
Slashing on Solana is rare and typically only occurs in cases of malicious behavior or severe downtime. At Blocksize, we operate with 99.9%+ uptime through automated failover systems, 24/7 monitoring, and rigorous infrastructure testing.
