How to join the JPool Delegation Program ​

New validators ​

  1. Meet baseline requirements: non-JPool stake < 750K, commission ≤ 10%, published identity, no blacklist flags
  2. Fund a bond: minimum 1 SOL
  3. Compete for a slot: CG, DS, or Performance based on your strengths

For full eligibility details, see Eligibility and slot allocation.

Community Good applicants ​

  1. Submit project details, metrics, and impact evidence via the CG application form
  2. Review committee evaluates on a regular cycle
  3. Score assigned based on the CG scoring criteria
  4. Activated in the next rebalance cycle

Direct Stake validators ​

Minimum 10 SOL direct stake to qualify for a DS slot. Validators below 10 SOL can still receive reduced matching if they hold a slot in another category and have posted a bond. Ranking is purely by direct stake size.

WARNING

If your validator meets the criteria but is still not enlisted in the Program, make sure it's not blacklisted as a malicious validator. Examples may include block lists maintained by the Solana Foundation and the Jito Foundation.
