Best Rate* Independent. TX‑based. Dev‑run.

Texas‑tough independent Solana staking.
Blazingly fast. Rock solid. Fairly priced.

Lone Star Solana is a family‑run validator by Solana developers, not Wall Street, not Silicon Valley, not a corporate crypto empire.

We run lightweight, high‑performance validators on 9575F‑class hardware with the Firedancer software stack and Tier III colocation-engineered for zero‑downtime architecture. We share MEV tips, never your data.

Our stack

Built like a ranch truck. Tuned like a race car.

Performance isn't a buzzword, it's our religion. We run 9575F‑class, high‑frequency boxes with obscene single‑thread speed, NVMe‑only storage, and Terabit‑ready networking. On the software side, we pair our own customized ultra-low latency Firedancer validator software stack with dev‑level observability and on‑call automation.

Why Texas

Business‑friendly. Freedom‑minded. Privacy‑respecting.

Texas has a reputation for letting builders build. With a pro‑business climate, strong infrastructure, and no state income tax, the Lone Star State is a natural home for independent validators. We operate with a privacy‑respecting ethos and a clear, simple fee policy because freedom pairs well with transparency.

  • TX‑based, family business with real humans on the line
  • Clear, predictable pricing
  • Privacy‑friendly culture & ops practices

Not tax or legal advice. Do your own research; we'll be here running blocks.

FAQ

You ask. We answer in plain English.

What's your commission?

We publish and stick to a simple, low commission (see Rates). No teaser traps. No corporate markup.

Do you share MEV tips?

Yes! MEV tip‑sharing is supported with transparent accounting and regular distributions. Exact policy is published on our status page.†

How do you handle downtime?

We design for zero downtime: redundant paths, automated failover, real‑time alerting, and human on‑call. If the unexpected happens, we fix fast and publish a postmortem.

Why "family business" for a validator?

Because incentives matter. You get personal accountability and developers who actually write the code, not a faceless Silicon Valley conglomerate chasing quarterly OKRs and dinners with politicans.

Where are you colocated?

Tier III facilities with redundant power and carriers, TX‑centric with strategic geo‑redundant options. Details available to delegators under NDA.

Is staking non‑custodial?

Always. Your SOL never leaves your wallet. You can stake and unstake anytime from supported wallets.

†MEV tip‑sharing subject to network mechanics and our published policy. We'll keep it boringly clear.
