On this page

Twenty-eight Solana validator profiles using one template: same metrics, same evidence bar, same structural shape. Each profile is a per-validator detail page; ranked groupings live in the evaluation hubs and pairwise breakdowns live in comparisons.

Scope

Per-validator profile pages, one per operator. Every profile carries the same 9 sections — Identity, Performance metrics, Economics, Infrastructure, Decentralization signals, MEV policy, Delegation programs, Stake history, Operator homepage — fed by Stakewiz cache at the snapshot epoch. No top-N list, no curated ranking, no editorial group lives on this landing page; rankings live in the evaluation hubs, head-to-head pages live in comparisons, and the per-validator detail lives in the profiles themselves.

Selection methodology

The 28 profiles span four observable selection criteria:

  • Top stake-weight operators — top-10 by activated_stake; cumulatively hold roughly 7% of all delegated SOL.
  • Brand-recognized operators — validators stakers search by name (Helius, Solana Compass, Jito Labs, Stakeconomy, Lord Validates-a-Lot) regardless of stake rank.
  • Top Wiz Score performers — five validators with Wiz Score 99+ at the snapshot epoch.
  • SFDP-newer cohort — five validators that joined the Solana Foundation Delegation Program more recently, useful for tracking the next generation of operators.

Selection is metric-driven. No operator is included or excluded for editorial reasons; if metrics put a validator in one of these cohorts at the snapshot epoch, it has a profile.

Current state

  • 28 profiles at the snapshot below; each refreshed when underlying Stakewiz data changes materially.
  • Snapshot: epoch 971 (2026-05-15, per Stakewiz). Re-checked on each wiki refresh.
  • Coverage gap: RealValidator (J.A.R.V.I.S.), the operator of this wiki, is deferred from the directory until the validator is on testnet or mainnet with public Stakewiz data. Adding it earlier with no on-chain identity would publish a metrics-empty row visibly different from peer profiles, breaking the neutrality contract. The slot will be reinstated once the operator's validator has observable on-chain history.

Where to go next

  • Ranked groupings by a single criterion — evaluation hubs (by stake weight, by Wiz Score, by commission, by decentralization, by MEV, and per-country).
  • Pairwise side-by-side breakdowns — comparisons (5 head-to-head pages between operators stakers commonly weigh against each other).
  • Term definitions cited throughout these profiles — glossary.

To browse the 28 individual profiles, use the section sidebar on the left or the search bar in the header.

Editorial notes

  • TeraSwitch (AS20326) carries roughly 29% of total Solana network stake — the largest single-ASN concentration on the network at epoch 971. Four operators in this directory are on it: Helius, Jupiter, Bitwise Onchain (in Amsterdam), and Jito Labs (in Singapore). Stakers focused on decentralization will weigh this when comparing top-stake operators.
  • Evaluation hubs — ranked lists by decentralization, commission, MEV passthrough, country, and stake weight
  • Comparisons — head-to-head breakdowns for validator pairs
  • Glossary — definitions for every metric and program cited above
  • Editorial team — directory maintainers and conflict-of-interest disclosure
