Binance staking is an exchange-operated Solana validator with 13,530,771 SOL of activated stake at epoch 971, equal to 0.876% of network stake (per Stakewiz). Vote account 3N7s9zXMZ4QqvHQR15t5GNHyqc89KduzMP7423eWiD5g; identity account DRpbCBMxVnDK7maPM5tGv6MvB3v1sRMC86PZ8okm21hy.

Identity

Binance staking is operated by the Binance exchange. The validator is the on-chain endpoint for SOL delegated through Binance's staking product, in which exchange customers stake SOL held in custody on the platform. Operator self-description is not populated on Stakewiz beyond the validator name. Stakers should note this is an exchange-custodied validator: the underlying SOL is held by Binance on behalf of users rather than self-custodied by the staker, which is a different trust model from delegating from a self-custodied wallet to a third-party validator.

Performance metrics

  • Wiz Score: 61.51 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz).
  • 30-day trailing skip rate: 0.12% (Stakewiz wiz_skip_rate, epoch 971) vs. 0.14% network median per Stakewiz cluster statistics.
  • Vote success: 99.4%; credit ratio under Timely Vote Credits: 99.5% at epoch 971.
  • Delinquency status: not delinquent at the epoch 971 snapshot.
  • Uptime: 99.99% per Stakewiz.

Economics

  • Base commission: 0% at epoch 971.
  • Jito MEV commission: 0% (0 bps) at epoch 971.
  • Total APY: 5.92% (epoch 971, including Jito MEV rewards, per Stakewiz).
  • Staking APY component: 5.79%; Jito MEV APY component: 0.13%.
  • The 0% commission rate applies to the on-chain pass-through; Binance separately retains its platform fee from the customer-facing yield on its custodial staking product. The on-chain rate visible to Stakewiz is the validator-level rate, not the rate Binance customers see on the exchange.

Infrastructure

  • ASN: AS14618, Amazon Data Services Northern Virginia (AWS).
  • Datacenter location: Ashburn, United States.
  • Validator software version: Agave 4.0.0-rc.1 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz version) — a release-candidate version of the upcoming major Agave release.

Decentralization signals

  • ASN concentration: 0% reported on AS14618 in the Stakewiz field, reflecting AWS's broad infrastructure footprint not concentrating Solana validator stake on this specific ASN — well within the SFDP 25% ASN concentration threshold effective May 1, 2026.
  • City concentration: 0.24% of network stake in Ashburn.
  • Hyperscaler-hosted validators on AWS face a separate concentration question by cloud provider rather than by individual ASN; the SFDP rule operates on ASN, so this hosting profile passes that specific threshold.

MEV policy

Binance staking runs the Jito client (is_jito: true per Stakewiz), making it MEV-enabled and able to earn rewards through the Jito Block Engine. Jito MEV commission of 0% (0 bps) is retained by the operator at epoch 971; the full 100% of bundled MEV revenue passes to stakers at the on-chain level. The structural meaning for the staker is the same as the base-commission point: the on-chain pass-through is 100%, while customer-facing yield on the Binance product is subject to whatever platform-level fee Binance applies separately.

Delegation programs

The 0% base commission is within the SFDP base-commission cap of 5%, and the 0% Jito MEV commission is within the SFDP Jito MEV cap of 10%. Activated stake of 13,530,771 SOL is above the 1,000,000 SOL ceiling at which Foundation residual and matching delegation are withdrawn under SFDP — Binance staking would not receive Foundation stake regardless of commission. Stake-pool inclusion (Marinade SAM, Jito Stake Pool, SolBlaze) is governed by each pool's independent selection criteria. For live performance, see solana-scout.

Stake history

Activated stake at epoch 971: 13,530,771 SOL = 0.876% of network. The stake here is custodial — sourced from exchange users who hold SOL on Binance and opt into the staking product, rather than from external self-custodied stakers. Historical stake-trend queries were not performed for this entry.
