  • Gain experience with running a validator
  • Build a partnership
  • Just because

1) How much $SOL do we want to delegate?
A minimum of 2500 $SOL available for staking is a reasonable estimation.
Choosing 100% doesn’t mean that we couldn’t swap more USDC to SOL or use the agility fund.

With a 3rd party validator, utilize:
  • 100%
  • 90%
  • ≤ 80%
0 voters
In a partnership/with own validator:
  • 100%
  • 90 - 100%
  • < 90%
0 voters
What is our strategy?
  • Always stake a % of SOL available in the treasury
  • Cap staking (fixed amount of SOL)
  • Always decide through individual proposals
