Identity

Staking Facilities is a German-based crypto infrastructure operator. The on-chain Stakewiz description reads: "We invest in leading crypto networks & operate secure, performant, and highly available bare-metal infrastructure out of Germany." The validator name on Stakewiz is suffixed "| MEV 🔥" reflecting the operator's MEV-enabled posture. The Solana validator is one node within a broader multi-chain operation.

Performance metrics

  • Wiz Score: 55.17 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz).
  • 30-day trailing skip rate: 0.063% (Stakewiz wiz_skip_rate, epoch 971) vs. 0.14% network median per Stakewiz cluster statistics.
  • Vote success: 99.59%; credit ratio under Timely Vote Credits: 99.7% at epoch 971.
  • Delinquency status: not delinquent at the epoch 971 snapshot.
  • Uptime: 100% per Stakewiz.

Economics

  • Base commission: 0% at epoch 971.
  • Jito MEV commission: 0% (0 bps) at epoch 971.
  • Total APY: 5.96% (epoch 971, including Jito MEV rewards, per Stakewiz).
  • Staking APY component: 5.83%; Jito MEV APY component: 0.13%.

Infrastructure

  • ASN: AS9002, Retn Limited.
  • Datacenter location: Frankfurt, Germany.
  • Validator software version: Jito-Solana 0.822.30114 at epoch 971 (per Stakewiz version) — a Jito client build.

Decentralization signals

  • ASN concentration: 0.14% of network stake on AS9002 (per Stakewiz, epoch 971) — well below the SFDP 25% ASN concentration threshold that took effect May 1, 2026, and one of the lowest ASN concentration figures in this wiki's top-10 tier.
  • City concentration: 23.80% of network stake in Frankfurt. Frankfurt is the dominant city by Solana validator stake at this snapshot; while the SFDP infrastructure rule is anchored to ASN and individual data center rather than city, the city-level figure is a context signal for Nakamoto coefficient interpretation.
  • The low ASN concentration figure combined with the bare-metal Frankfurt placement produces a hosting profile that passes the SFDP ASN rule cleanly while sitting in the high-concentration city.

MEV policy

Staking Facilities 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. Combined with 0% base commission, the on-chain pass-through to stakers is 100% of both inflation and MEV rewards.

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 6,615,054 SOL is above the 1,000,000 SOL ceiling at which Foundation residual and matching delegation are withdrawn — the validator 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; Stakewiz does not directly surface pool inclusion in the API fields used here.
