For Validators

You operate a Solana validator. You're already earning vote credits and inflation rewards, but the non-vote economy — orderflow, MEV revenue share, and infrastructure efficiency — is where modern operators differentiate.

Blockspace gives Solana validators three levers, each independently opt-in.

What you'll use​

Cash Flow & Orderflow Revenue

Monetize your slots and infrastructure beyond vote rewards.

Monthly settlement · SOL

Client Optimization

Tune your validator software and hardware for higher reward rates and lower skip rates.

Audit + tune-up · monthly

Searcher Connection

Publish your TPU mempool to the Blockspace searcher network and earn from consumed orderflow.

Consumption-share

The shape of the validator stack​

Your validator
     │
     ├──  Searcher Connection  →  publish pending-tx mempool       →  searcher revenue
     │
     └──  Client Optimization  →  raise vote credit rate + cut skip →  more inflation rewards

These are independent products. You can run any one without the others. Each plugs into the same Everstake validator-network infrastructure, so adding a second is a config change, not a re-architecture.

Why work with Everstake​

Everstake is itself a top-3 Solana validator globally and ranked #2 in FRA shred latency. The orderflow network and client optimization tooling are the same we run on our own validators — productized for other operators.

Get started​

  1. Sign up in the dashboard and select the Validator role.
  2. Verify your validator identity (vote pubkey).
  3. Pick the first lever to enable. Most operators start with Client Optimization — fastest measurable lift, no additional integration.
  4. Layer in Searcher Connection once you're comfortable with the network.
