Luganodes Solana Validator Report – August 2025

1. Introduction

Solana continues to demonstrate resilience as one of the most performant proof-of-stake networks, with nearly three-quarters of its circulating supply actively staked. Validator performance plays a critical role in sustaining this throughput and reliability. As one of Solana’s trusted validator partners, Luganodes remains committed to delivering consistent returns and supporting the network’s decentralization.

2. Key Metrics

Over the past 30 days, Luganodes’ validator has shown strong operational performance:

• Total Stake Delegated: 1,348,939 SOL

• Delegator APY: 6.09%

• Voting Effectiveness: 100%

• Proposer Effectiveness: 100%

• Voting Latency: 1.008 slots

• Block Production: 21,571 blocks

• Skip Rate: 0.023%

• Rewards Earned: 1,306.48 SOL

These metrics highlight both consistent validator performance and participation in Solana’s MEV ecosystem through Jito, contributing additional rewards for delegators.

3. Staking Participation

Over the past 30 days, Luganodes secured 1,348,939 SOL in delegated stake, representing ~0.34% of network penetration. With nearly 75% of Solana’s circulating supply staked overall, delegators continue to show strong confidence in the protocol’s long-term economics.

4. Rewards Performance

Luganodes delivered a delegator APY of 6.09% across the period, supported by 1,306.48 SOL in total rewards.

5. Effectiveness & Reliability

Validator performance remained exceptional. Both voting and proposer effectiveness were sustained at 100%. Voting latency averaged 1.008 slots, keeping confirmations well within the optimal range. Across 21,571 blocks produced, Luganodes recorded a 0.23% skip rate, underscoring operational reliability and infrastructure resilience.

6. Luganodes’ Role

Luganodes continues to uphold operational excellence on Solana, achieving 100% effectiveness in both voting and block proposals, with no missed blocks across the reporting period. Voting latency remains near-optimal at just over one slot, ensuring timely confirmations that strengthen network security.

Compared to network averages, Luganodes demonstrates superior reliability and rewards consistency. MEV rewards, though a smaller share of overall earnings, represent a growing component of the validator economy as Solana’s inflation rate trends lower. Luganodes’ active participation positions delegators to benefit from these evolving dynamics.

7. Conclusion

Validator performance remains central to Solana’s high-speed, high-throughput environment. Luganodes’ track record of accuracy, efficiency, and resilience ensures delegators benefit from both stable rewards and readiness for future upgrades like Alpenglow. With a focus on long-term alignment and operational reliability, Luganodes continues to support the growth and decentralization of the Solana ecosystem.
