The validator runs the Jito client at 0% base commission and 0% Jito MEV commission, hosted on Servetheworld AS (AS34989) in Oslo, Norway. Its Wiz Score is 99.69 at epoch 971.

Identity

nordstar's Stakewiz display name is "nordstar ⭐ reliable staking +MEV" at epoch 971. The self-description in the Stakewiz description field is: "Jito validator. High-performing and reliable. No surprises; read our ethos. Maintained by a dedicated security professional. Enterprise hardware protected by a data center SLA. Contact: @agjell (Discord/Telegram)." The operator surfaces a single individual contact identifier (@agjell) rather than a corporate team page.

The on-chain identity account is NordEHiwa6wT5TCjdeWJzpsA7DSmWQPqfSS7m2b6cv3. The withdraw authority custody is not publicly disclosed.

Economics

  • Base commission: 0% at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz commission).
  • Jito MEV commission: 0% (jito_commission_bps: 0, epoch 971).
  • Total APY estimate: 6.02% at epoch 971 (5.89% staking APY + 0.13% Jito MEV component, per Stakewiz total_apy).
  • Stake-weight bucket: below above_halt_line at epoch 971 — eligible for a near-maximum stake_weight_score of 14.90 (out of 15).

Infrastructure

  • Data center / host: Servetheworld AS.
  • ASN: AS34989.
  • City: Oslo, Norway (59.91°N, 10.75°E).
  • TPU IP: 63.254.166.66 (TPU IP concentration 3.87% per Stakewiz tpu_ip_concentration at epoch 971).
  • Client: Jito client (is_jito: true); software 3.1.14.

Decentralization signals

  • ASN concentration: 0.05% (AS34989 Servetheworld, per Stakewiz, epoch 971) — well below the 25% SFDP infrastructure threshold.
  • City concentration: 0.05% (Oslo); -0.02 component score.
  • ASN+city joint concentration: 0.05% — Oslo Servetheworld is a sparse Solana validator location.
  • Wiz Score: 99.69 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz). The composite is driven by maximum or near-maximum scores on every positive component: skip rate (10/10), vote success (29.88/30), commission (20/20), version freshness (no penalty), uptime (10/10), epoch distance (10/10), and a stake_weight_score of 14.90. The only minor deductions are sub-1-point decentralization-trim figures; no material penalty applies.

MEV policy

nordstar runs the Jito client and participates in the Jito Block Engine. Jito MEV commission is 0% — stakers receive the full Jito tip-distribution share that reaches the validator. The Stakewiz Jito APY contribution at epoch 971 is 0.13%.

Delegation programs

The validator's first epoch with stake is 245 (per Stakewiz first_epoch_with_stake); operation spans approximately 726 epochs of active stake as of epoch 971, roughly 4 years at the current ~2-day epoch cadence — making nordstar a long-tenure operator with a small absolute-stake position. With 142,391 SOL of external stake, the validator sits inside the range where SFDP residual delegation and 1:1 matching (capped at 100,000 SOL match) would apply per current Foundation criteria if enrolled; SFDP enrollment status is not surfaced in the Stakewiz cache fields used here.

Stake history

  • Active stake: 142,391 SOL (0.0092% of network, per Stakewiz, epoch 971). The absolute stake is small relative to the directory's flagship operators; nordstar's long tenure (~4 years) combined with a small stake position is a distinct pattern from younger operators with comparable absolute stake.
  • Rank in Stakewiz directory: 3 at epoch 971 — the directory rank reflects the composite Wiz Score.
  • First epoch with stake: 245.
