Managed validator

The validator behind your liquid-staking token.

Launch a branded LST on Solana with a dedicated validator behind it. The stake pool, mint and fees are yours; we run the validator the stake is delegated to.

What an LST issuer gets

  • A dedicated validator

    Bare metal that runs only your validator, under your name, monitored by our 24/7 NOC.

  • Your stake pool

    An SPL stake pool or a Sanctum pool, deployed and governed by you, delegating to your vote account.

  • Your mint and fees

    Token name, mint authority and pool fees are set by you. We never control your token.

  • Your DeFi reach

    Listings and liquidity are driven by your team. We are on the validator side, not the listing side.

How it runs

  1. Choose your pool layer

    SPL stake pool for full control, or Sanctum for shared liquidity from day one.

  2. We bring the validator up

    On dedicated bare metal in Frankfurt or Amsterdam, with your withdraw authority on the vote account.

  3. Your pool delegates to it

    Deposits mint your token, and the pool's stake is delegated to your vote account.

  4. Rewards raise the exchange rate

    Each epoch, staking rewards flow into the pool, and your token is worth more SOL.

SPL stake pool or Sanctum

Either works with your validator. The choice is about liquidity and control.

Questions

What is a white-label LST?

A liquid-staking token is a transferable SPL token that represents staked SOL. A white-label LST is issued under your brand and backed by a validator you control, so holders earn staking rewards and keep an asset they can use in DeFi.

How do you back an LST with a single validator?

The stake pool behind the token delegates the SOL it holds to validators. For your LST, the pool's delegation is set so its stake goes to your dedicated validator. Mints and burns are governed by the SPL stake pool or a Sanctum pool.

Sanctum vs SPL stake pool — which should we use?

The SPL stake pool is the canonical Solana program and gives you the most control. Sanctum builds on stake pools and adds shared liquidity and DeFi routing. A new LST that wants DeFi reach early usually starts with Sanctum; one with its own liquidity plan often prefers a plain SPL pool.

Who controls the LST mint authority?

You do, or your governance does. We operate the validator underneath; we do not control your token or your pool parameters.

How do MEV tips flow to LST holders?

A validator running a Jito-enabled client earns MEV tips that can be paid to its stakers, which here is your pool, raising the token's exchange rate. Tell us if you want that and we agree the client with you before go-live.

What is the fee structure?

Three parts: our flat monthly fee for the validator, your validator commission, and any fee you set inside the stake pool. We take no share of the token.

Can the LST be used in DeFi?

Yes. It is a standard SPL token. Listings in lending markets and pools are up to the issuer, and Sanctum routing helps if you use Sanctum. We work on the validator side.

How long to launch?

We agree a go-live date for the validator when you order. Deploying the pool and configuring the mint is your side of the work, and it can run at the same time.
