Solana validator analytics and native staking, ranked by the Wiz Score, from the team behind the Laine validator.
Wiz Score version 87 has been released, validators are expected to be operating Agave 4.4.0 or Firedancer 26.10.4 or higher
New on Stakewiz: the whole Solana network, in one view. Watch blocks land in real time, see how every validator stacks up on vote success and block production, and track decentralization as it shifts. Built for Alpenglow. Live now. https://stakewiz.com/network https://t.co/diCpHmfpfR
RT @laine_sa_: Alpenglow went live at epoch 1064 and changed how validators earn vote rewards. Metrics built around TowerBFT vote credits n…
Wiz Score v85 weights: vote success 20%, block production 20%, commission 20%, history 10%, stake weight 10%, uptime 10%, MEV 5%, published info 5%. The skip rate exemption for validators under 100k SOL is gone.
Every version’s weightings are public at https://api.stakewiz.com/wiz_score/{version}. Scorecard tooltips explain each component, and every validator page now has a Block Packing chart with an epoch selector and a live history table of recently produced blocks. https://stakewiz.com https://t.co/f0XihkhUcV
Community recognizes Stakewiz as a well-respected Solana validator tool built by Laine to promote network decentralization. Sol Strategies' acquisition of the platform and Laine's validator is viewed positively, with STKESOL achieving top rankings on geographic decentralization metrics.
8/ Helius is the second biggest validator on Solana. Down the full 33 minutes. Of the 74 we could measure, three came back clean. @laine_sa_ and @Cogent_Crypto both @solstrategies, plus Lion3d.
🥇 @solstrategies @laine_sa_ STKESOL takes #1 on the GDI for August 2026 with a 4.57. Geographic Decentralisation Index ranks stake pools by where their stake actually sits: country, city, network operator of every validator. https://t.co/LOCHYql3T8
But why? @laine_sa_ https://t.co/CzCAdywAFw
@laine_sa_ Do you guys have a validator dashboard? How does that work? Im working on mini-desktop displays for things, and am wondering if you'd be interested in a Validator display? Here is a prototype I did for @StrongholdSOL @akh1l_sol https://t.co/VrjD8gn4Xt
@laine_sa_ @GivnerAriel But you can’t though. That’s the dilemma. There is no way to solve it. So might as well eat the risk and ship totally immutable code that has protocol built in defense against attacks
Did you know? One of Solana’s best-known validator tools, Stakewiz, was built by a validator (Laine) to help people find smaller, well-run validators and spread stake more evenly. One operator, building for the whole network. @laine_sa_
Stakewiz is a validator analytics and staking site for Solana. It pulls performance, uptime, commission changes, stake concentration and other health metrics for every validator into one dashboard, so SOL holders can research, compare and monitor validators before and after they delegate.
Its headline metric is the Wiz Score, a single score built from more than a dozen metrics that reflects each validator's overall quality, reliability and impact on decentralization. Alongside it, Stakewiz shows estimated APY, commission, skip rate and vote success, with filters to narrow the list down. It started out as an easy alerting tool for everyday stakers, letting them keep track of the validators they've entrusted with their SOL.
Stakewiz is non-custodial: it doesn't hold funds or issue a staking token. Users connect a wallet such as Phantom and delegate to the validator they pick through Solana's native staking. Its data is also available through a public API, which Nexusol uses for the validator globe in the Ecosystem Atlas and the Network Health stats in Market Watch.
Stakewiz is run by the team behind the Laine validator, and both became part of SOL Strategies when the company acquired them in March 2025.
