Reviewer resources
Stake Pool Reviewer Kit
A source-linked starting point for tracking Solana stake pools, validator dashboards, delegation program references, and reviewer workflows. This page intentionally excludes Solana Qubits validator-specific explorer and staking links.
Informational only. This page does not imply partnership, endorsement, acceptance, eligibility, guaranteed delegation, or guaranteed stake from any stake pool, validator program, dashboard provider, or ecosystem organization. Verify live official sources before reuse.
Stake pool research and data
Source-linked research, structured data, and tooling references for stake pool and validator reviewer context. Snapshots and repository data should not be treated as live values.
Solana Stake Pool Delegation Landscape: A Practical Snapshot for Validators
Source-linked stake pool delegation landscape snapshot. Informational only, not financial advice or an application result.
Research repository
Public Markdown research notes and related source-linked materials.
Stake pools data repository
Structured stake pool data and source links for reviewer context. Do not treat snapshots as live values.
SOFZP Solana Stake Pools Research
Broader stake-group registry and timestamped on-chain archive used as a supplemental discovery and comparison source, not official program policy.
SOFZP Validator Stake Pools Checker
Validator lookup tool for tracked stake groups. Review the code, registry, and output freshness before running or relying on it.
Validator Tools repository
Safety-first validator guides, operator checklists, and read-only helper scripts for validator operations context.
DAO and token-governance sources
Canonical tracker and official sources for active proposal DAOs, limited-scope gauges, associated governance, and the historical Lido boundary. Association with infrastructure does not mean that its DAO governs a stake pool, and an LST or receipt token does not imply voting power. Recheck live proposal, treasury, and activity state before reuse.
Stake Pool DAO & Governance Tracker
Receipt/LST, governance, utility, and incentive tokens are classified separately across current, supplemental, associated, and historical records. Catalog checked 2026-08-15.

Dashboards to verify live
Public dashboards and monitoring sources for stake pool distribution, validator lists, scoring, delegation context, and planning signals. Third-party dashboards are monitoring sources, not official program rules.
Validators.app mainnet stake-pool snapshot
Independent live cross-check for pool stake, validator count, and average-per-validator context. Values are dynamic and should be rechecked before reuse.
SOFZP stake-pool dashboard
Dynamic view of tracked stake groups and validator allocations. Use official program sources separately for eligibility and application status.
SOFZP mainnet-beta epoch archive
Timestamped observations for reproducible stake-flow comparisons; the current landscape snapshot uses epoch 1016 data captured August 13, 2026.
Phase validator dashboard
Phase validator list with IPS and delegation-related fields. Treat values as dynamic and verify them live.
Edgevana validator list
Edgevana validator page for validator discovery and delegation context. Dynamic content should be checked directly.
JPool validators dashboard
JPool validator dashboard/list for public validator context. Live values and filters should be verified on the page.
Vault validator lists
Official Vault validators page with Direct Stake Leaders and Elite Performance filters plus dynamic ranking and delegation context. Verify list placement live; display does not guarantee future allocation.
Jito StakeNet Steward
StakeNet Steward resource for Jito delegation and validator set context. Use it as a live dashboard, not a static source.
DoubleZero DZDP calculator
Planning calculator for DoubleZero Delegation Program scenarios. It is not a generic validator ranking page.
xSHIN validators page
xSHIN / Shinobi validators page for scoring and performance context. Values are dynamic and should be checked live.
ValidBlocks Stake Pools Heatmap
Third-party dynamic dashboard for pool-specific validator stake movement and recent-epoch changes.
ValidBlocks Solana Validators Profitability (SVP)
Per-validator profitability dashboard: client, version, commission, Jito/MEV split, stake, and a rewards/costs/profit breakdown, with SFDP and vote-lagging filters.
Sandwiched.me validators (SFDP filter)
Filterable validator directory with client/version, Ghost Score, Slot Time Score, and 30d/60d sandwich percentage; the linked view filters to SFDP-sourced stake. Scores are Sandwiched.me's own methodology.
ValidBlocks Marinade Select
Third-party dashboard for Marinade Select institutional bond/TVL/settlement context. Does not imply acceptance, participation, or delegation.
ValidBlocks BAM Claims
Third-party dashboard for Jito BAM Early Adopter Subsidy claim status. Use for monitoring, not as an official eligibility guarantee.
Supplemental delegation opportunities to monitor
rkuSOL is documented here as a live LST with a pilot-only validator path, not as a 16th entry in the current stakePoolResearch registry. Use the dated finalized snapshot, official docs, live Sanctum interface, and inquiry-only contact path together; none guarantees admission, stake, timing, fees, or yield.
rkuSOL finalized pool-state snapshot
Finalized mainnet snapshot at slot 439,419,080 in epoch 1017 on August 15, 2026: SanctumSpl program SP12tWFxD9oJsVWNavTTBZvMbA6gkAmxtVgxdqvyvhY, pool ERhozr6u9drmAANXGRNP1oh3quSqPKEwioKH5b8v9Kkt, mint rkubjTrZYioRSeXwDnhwGQzvW3qkcin72JSxUt3WMVp, and 187,168.173 SOL in pool-state accounting.
rkuSOL validator-list snapshot
The dated finalized validator list contained exactly one active entry: vote AVD61fbwxDGuLGCanPWQPxRjdqYk3icssz5u7JH8kbta with 187,167.943 SOL active and zero transient stake. That is 100% of delegated validator stake and should not be generalized into a future allocation promise.
rkuSOL current vote account
The August 15 finalized snapshot placed this vote account in the current set with 0% Solana inflation commission. That does not establish the validator's Raiku-tip or Jito-tip commissions, future performance, or continued rkuSOL allocation.
rkuSOL mint
Canonical rkuSOL mint referenced by Raiku and the live Sanctum app. Verify the mint rather than relying on token symbols or search results.
Raiku rkuSOL documentation
Raiku describes rkuSOL as allocating to AOT/JIT-enabled Raiku validators and discloses a 2.5% Sanctum fee on staking rewards. Rewards, validator participation, and future allocations are not guaranteed.
Raiku staking fee FAQ
The FAQ says there are no deposit, withdrawal, or platform fees, while the August 15 finalized pool state encoded a 2.5% epoch fee and 0.1% fees for both stake withdrawals and SOL withdrawals. Recheck the live contract and official wording before quoting costs.
Raiku validator quickstart
The official quickstart says raiku-agave is available to pilot partners, uses Agave hardware requirements, coexists with Jito Classic, and is incompatible with Jito BAM. It is not evidence of public admission to rkuSOL.
Raiku validator application record
The official page linked to forms.raiku.com/earn_with_raiku, which returned HTTP 404 when checked on August 15, 2026. Preserve it as a dated source record, not as a working Apply call to action.
Sanctum rkuSOL app
Sanctum's UI displayed about 187,253.88 SOL during review, while finalized pool-state accounting was 187,168.173 SOL. Treat UI TVL as dynamic or cached and retain the dated on-chain reading separately.
Sanctum rkuSOL launch article
Sanctum describes rkuSOL as a Staking-as-a-Service LST intended to allocate to Raiku-client validators. Product intent is not evidence of current validator count, open intake, selection, or guaranteed auction revenue.
Raiku rkuSOL launch article
Raiku said six external validator partners were committed for mainnet and more would join through Q3 2026. The August 15 finalized validator list showed one live vote account, so the six-partner statement is pipeline history rather than a current validator count.
Raiku contact
The contact page is a working general inquiry route while the documented validator form is unavailable. Contact does not constitute an application, acceptance, validator-list slot, stake commitment, or response SLA.
Raiku official website
Primary Raiku product site. Use its validator and staking links together with dated on-chain checks.
Raiku official X profile
Official Raiku social profile for announcements. Social posts do not supersede live validator-list state or create an admission guarantee.
Raiku rkuSOL risk disclosures
Covers validator performance, variable and non-guaranteed rewards, priority-fee and MEV uncertainty, Sanctum dependency, smart-contract, liquidity, redemption, depeg, and other material risks.

Historical, dormant, and wound-down references
Closed programs, depleted allocations, and historical stake sources are retained for research continuity. They remain separate from the current 15-program opportunity registry and must not be read as open validator onboarding routes.
SOFZP dormant and wound-down programs
Historical status notes and stake-curve links for programs that no longer show meaningful delegation. Treat the classifications as research findings to cross-check on-chain, not as additions to the current 15-program opportunity registry.
Firedancer Delegation Program wind-down
Jump Crypto's September 20, 2025 notice says withdrawals would begin in October. Its reference to possible future targeted programs is not evidence of current intake or delegation.
SharkPool public project pages
The university-validator site remains online even though SOFZP's tracked legacy allocation is depleted. Treat the allocation as dormant without asserting that the wider project has definitively closed; no standardized public validator application was found.
Lido on Solana sunset
Lido's October 16, 2023 notice records the end of new Solana stake, node-operator offboarding, and the February 2024 frontend shutdown. It is historical context, not a current validator route.
Helius SFDP and long-tail validator research
Published August 31, 2024. Use its economics and SFDP analysis as a dated historical snapshot rather than current SFDP policy; ratios, caps, criteria, and program totals have since changed.
Original Solana Foundation delegation strategy
The November 12, 2020 announcement documents the original 100M SOL distribution design and the direct-delegation context that preceded it. These initial mechanics are historical, not current criteria.
April 2024 SFDP redesign
Foundation update introducing the self-sufficiency-oriented model: Testnet participation, tapered vote-cost coverage, external-stake matching, residual delegation, and community stake-pool deposits.
SFDP history and outcomes case study
Foundation retrospective covering SFDP's evolution and the later phased move from the historical 1:1 / 100,000 SOL match to 0.5:1 / 50,000 SOL. Verify current mechanics separately.
Current Solana Foundation Delegation Program
Live SFDP overview and application context. Its current examples assume a 0.5:1 match ratio and a 50,000 SOL matching limit; recheck the official page before reuse.
Current Solana Foundation delegation criteria
Epoch-specific residual, matching, Testnet, software, performance, and operational requirements. These values are dynamic and take precedence over historical summaries.
Solana Foundation facts related to FTX/Alameda
The Foundation's November 2022 record documents SOL sales, lock schedules, and locked-token mechanics. Use it for that history, not to infer a public Alameda validator-delegation program, onboarding route, or current stake.
Reviewer workflow checklist
- 01Start from the current stake pool research article, then verify all live dashboards and official program pages.
- 02Compare pool criteria against official documentation, not only third-party dashboards or historical snapshots.
- 03Classify receipt/LST, governance or voting, utility, and incentive tokens separately; token ownership does not establish proposal or voting rights unless official mechanics confirm them.
- 04Timestamp proposal activity, execution state, treasury authority, treasury addresses, and balances separately; a published allocation or passed proposal is not a current treasury balance.
- 05Check application or interest paths without treating forms as acceptance, eligibility, stake, or delegation guarantees.
- 06Track validator dashboards for current commission, MEV commission, delinquency, skip rate, vote credits, stake movement, and ranking context.
- 07Treat approximate stake, validator counts, pool membership, dashboard values, and application windows as dynamic.
- 08When UI TVL, on-chain accounting, fee disclosures, or application availability conflict, record the date and slot and preserve each source rather than silently choosing one.
- 09Keep rkuSOL as a supplemental Raiku monitoring target: Sanctum supplies related infrastructure, but CLOUD governance does not thereby control Raiku or rkuSOL validator selection.
- 10Keep Lido on Solana historical: activity in the broader Lido DAO does not reopen the sunset Solana product, validator intake, or delegation route.
- 11Do not infer partnership, endorsement, acceptance, eligibility, guaranteed stake, or guaranteed delegation from inclusion on this page.
Final disclaimer
This reviewer kit is a public source-link index and due-diligence aid for stake pool and validator tracking. It is not an application submission, program acceptance notice, eligibility confirmation, delegation commitment, partnership announcement, endorsement, or financial recommendation. Stake pool rules, validator metrics, dashboard data, forms, and program criteria can change quickly; verify live official sources before reuse.
