ParaFi Technologies operates a Solana mainnet validator (vote account pt1LsjkNwqCKdYYfc35ToDkqtEG9pswLTJNaMo8inft) carrying 176,248 SOL of active delegated stake — approximately 0.0114% of network stake at epoch 971, per Stakewiz. The validator runs the Jito client at 0% base commission and 0% Jito MEV commission, hosted on Announce Media Answers Corporation (AS13767) in Bluffdale, Utah, United States. Its Wiz Score is 99.42 at epoch 971.

Identity

ParaFi Technologies' Stakewiz display name is "ParaFi Technologies" at epoch 971. The self-description in the Stakewiz description field is: "Highly performant Solana validator with MEV sharing and 0% commission." The operator's website is parafi.tech.

The on-chain identity account is parafiUS6h6oLhCFwhjvEmQJKw8pF1iXsxMJdTq46dS — the parafiUS prefix is a vanity identity encoding the operator name and a US-jurisdiction signal. The withdraw authority custody is not publicly disclosed. The Bluffdale, Utah hosting location is consistent with the identity account's US signal, though the AS13767 ASN registration is to Announce Media Answers Corporation, not to ParaFi directly.

Infrastructure

The Bluffdale location is a meaningful geographic data point: Utah is a less common Solana validator location than Frankfurt, Amsterdam, or Tokyo, and the host (AS13767) carries no other significant Solana validator concentration in this snapshot.

Decentralization signals

  • ASN concentration: 0.00% on Stakewiz's asn_concentration field for AS13767 at epoch 971 — Announce Media Answers Corporation carries effectively no other Solana validator stake.
  • City concentration: 0.00% (Bluffdale) — Bluffdale is unconcentrated as a Solana validator city.
  • ASN+city joint concentration: 0.00%.
  • Wiz Score: 99.42 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 (29.89/30), commission (20/20), version freshness (no penalty), uptime (10/10), epoch distance (10/10), and a stake_weight_score of 14.54. No material decentralization penalty applies.

MEV policy

ParaFi Technologies 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 673 (per Stakewiz first_epoch_with_stake); operation spans approximately 298 epochs of active stake as of epoch 971, roughly 1.6 years at the current ~2-day epoch cadence. With 176,248 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.
