Apply to earn incentives for running a high-performance validator in a high-quality data center!
In an effort to encourage the geographic and hardware diversification of the Solana networks, Solana Foundation offers a performance-based incentive option for a limited number of validators who participate in the Foundation’s Delegation Program.
Through the Tour de Sun 22 incentives and the Server Program, the Solana Foundation is helping more validators and RPC operators access infrastructure suited to the requirements of the Solana network. These relationships also help establish more mutually beneficial connections between traditional hosting companies and Solana’s global community.
To get started, follow the steps below.
