Sunshine Validator
Stake with Sunshine Validator
A zero-commission Solana validator run by a known operator, active in Ukraine's Solana community and building tools for native stakers. You delegate from your own wallet and keep full control of your SOL.
A validator with a face, not just an address
Many validators are just an address. Sunshine is run by a person who shows up for the Solana ecosystem in Ukraine: at community events, in hackathons, and in building tools that help stakers manage and spread their stake across the network.
The same person who keeps the node healthy also works on making staking clearer and safer for everyone, not only for this validator.
Running a Solana validator on mainnet since 2022, after starting on testnet in 2021. Running a node in the Alpenglow community cluster since August 2026.
Simple reasons to delegate
Zero commission
Sunshine runs at 0 percent commission and 0 percent MEV commission, so you keep all of your staking rewards.
Verifiable yield
Staking yield comes from network rewards, steady uptime, and MEV. You do not have to take anyone's word for it: performance is public on Stakewiz.
Modern, reliable infrastructure
Bare-metal servers, low-latency networking, and constant monitoring keep block production fast and steady. The node runs an up-to-date Solana stack, including the Jito client with BAM, DoubleZero networking, and kernel-level tuning. See how the node is run.
Non-custodial by design
Native staking never takes your keys. You delegate from your own wallet and keep full control of your SOL, with no pools and no smart contracts in the way.
Rooted in Ukraine's Solana community
The person behind Sunshine is active in the Ukrainian Solana community, online and in person, and takes part in the network's technical progress. That gives the validator a public identity and a history in the ecosystem that anyone can check.
