We’re excited to announce that we've officially launched a validator on the Solana mainnet in partnership with our good friends at @firstset_.
Why @solana?
Solana is one of the fastest-growing and most active ecosystems in crypto.
By running our own validator, we’re putting skin in the game, proving that blocmates isn’t just here to talk about Solana, but to actively support its network security and long-term growth.
For our readers and community, delegating to the blocmates validator means two things:
- You’re directly helping secure Solana while supporting independent research and media coverage
- You’re showing other ecosystems that blocmates can be a strong, long-term partner in validation
Our validator partner, Firstset, brings a bunch of credentials to the table:
- They have validators live across 10+ networks, including Solana, Ethereum, Celestia, Babylon, and more
- $50 million+ in delegated assets already secured
- A proven track record of performance, reliability, and community trust
This is just the beginning.
We're ready to expand our validator presence across multiple ecosystems. Solana's just our entry point. Expect more announcements as we continue to grow.
In the meantime, if you believe in what we’re building - from educational content to high-quality validation and everything else in between - consider delegating your SOL to the blocmates validator.
You can do it from your wallet of choice. It’s the best way to support our Solana coverage and help us show the wider crypto space what community-first validation looks like.
Stake with blocmates, secure Solana, and let’s keep building together.
