Stake Solana (SOL) with the LUX8 Validator

LUX8 runs an enterprise-grade Solana validator. Delegating is non-custodial: you create and own the stake account, LUX8 never holds or moves your SOL. Commission and APY below are live, pulled directly from our public data feed.

Why Delegate to LUX8

Non-custodial by design

You delegate directly from your own wallet. The stake account and its authority stay yours; LUX8 only operates the validator that votes on your behalf.

Enterprise infrastructure

Hardware runs in enterprise-grade data centers across EU, US, and Asia with 24/7 monitoring and automated failover.

Transparent, live numbers

APY, commission, and total delegated stake are published live and used by this page — no stale marketing figures.

Multi-chain track record

LUX8 also runs validators for NEAR, Monad, Kusama, X1, and Pactus — see the full list on the homepage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does non-custodial Solana staking mean?

Your SOL never leaves your wallet or moves to LUX8. You create a stake account you control and delegate it to the LUX8 validator vote account. The validator can never move, spend, or withdraw your funds — it only produces blocks.

What commission does the LUX8 Solana validator charge?

Commission is shown live at the top of this page, sourced directly from lux8.net/data.json. It can change over time, so check the live value before delegating.

Can I unstake my SOL at any time?

Yes. You can deactivate your stake whenever you want. Your SOL becomes withdrawable after Solana's native deactivation cooldown, a protocol-level rule that applies regardless of which validator you delegate to.

Where is the LUX8 Solana validator located?

LUX8 runs validator infrastructure across multiple regions (EU, US, Asia) with 24/7 monitoring. See the live geographic distribution of Solana validators, including LUX8, on the validator map.

How do I delegate to LUX8 from my wallet?

Open a Solana wallet that supports native staking, search for the validator named "lux8", and delegate the amount you want. Alternatively, use the Solana Stake Manager app for a guided flow that also lets you split, merge, or manage existing stake accounts.
