Maximizing Validator Rewards
How "Stellar Stake," an institutional staking provider, achieved 100% uptime and significantly higher APY by leveraging AllenHark's Shreds and validator infrastructure.
The Challenge
Stellar Stake manages over $500M in staked SOL for institutional clients. Their reputation depends on two things: reliability and yield.
They were struggling with missed blocks during periods of high network congestion. Every missed block meant lost rewards for their clients. Additionally, maintaining their own heavy validator hardware was becoming a logistical nightmare, diverting focus from their core business of asset management.
The Solution
Stellar Stake partnered with AllenHark to optimize their validator operations.
AllenHark Shreds
By integrating AllenHark Shreds, Stellar Stake could offload the heavy lifting of block propagation. Our optimized shred distribution network ensures that their votes and blocks propagate through the network faster than standard gossip protocols allow.
We also provided them with redundant failover configurations using our global node network, ensuring that even if one data center went dark, their validator presence would remain uninterrupted.
The Results
The stability and speed provided by AllenHark translated directly into financial performance:
- Zero Missed Blocks: Since migration, Stellar Stake has maintained a perfect block production record.
- Increased APY: Faster voting and block production resulted in more credits and rewards, boosting their APY by 15% relative to the network average.
- Operational Peace of Mind: With AllenHark handling the infrastructure layer, Stellar Stake's team could focus on client acquisition and service expansion.
"Reliability is our product. AllenHark ensures we deliver on that promise every single slot. They are the backbone of our operation."
