valscope

Solana validator calculator

Build your stake from the delegation programmes a validator can apply to or qualify for, then see what is left after costs. Pool figures are medians of what each programme currently delegates per validator, epoch 1053. Prefilled from Tree Validator.

live network values prefilled

Network this epoch (1052): inflation 3.61 %, staking yield 4.87 % of stake per year, MEV 0.22 %, priority fees 0.491 %, base fees to leaders 0.079 %, 272 epochs per year.

Fee rates are measured on 495,727 slots of epochs 1052–1053. The leader receives every priority fee and half of the base fees; block revenue sharing (SIMD-0123) is not active, so a validator shares priority fees only off-protocol. Lower “Priority fees kept” to model a share paid to stakers.

Listed are the programmes that delegate to more than ten validators and take outside operators; each line links to its rules, read 2026-10-06. Closed pools are not listed: jupSOL, bnSOL, dSOL, hSOL, the marginfi LST and the single-validator Sanctum LSTs delegate to their own operators. Pool medians refresh every epoch from the validator lists on chain. Vote fees are the cluster median of the last financial epoch (1052).
