Connect your wallet
Open the Validatize staking application and connect a supported Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Jupiter, MetaMask, or Trust Wallet.
solana.staking // direct delegation
Stake SOL without surrendering control.
Validatize provides direct Solana delegation for customers who want validator participation without handing over their wallet or withdrawal authority.
How it works
A direct path from your wallet to the validator.
The staking application handles transaction construction while the wallet remains responsible for review, authorization, signing, and custody.
Review the delegation
Choose the SOL amount. The app prepares the stake-account creation and delegation instructions for review in your wallet.
Keep the authority
Your connected wallet remains the staker and withdrawer authority, allowing you to later deactivate and withdraw your stake.
Delegation is not custody.
Validatize operates the validator receiving the delegation. The staking application does not ask for or store your wallet private key, seed phrase, stake authority, or withdrawal authority.
Important: Non-custodial design reduces custody exposure but does not eliminate staking, wallet, software, validator, protocol, withdrawal, or market risk. Read the risk disclosure.
The same app provides an exit path.
After connecting the same wallet, Validatize can identify stake accounts delegated to our validator for which that wallet remains both staker and withdrawer authority. You can deactivate active stake and withdraw it after Solana reports it inactive.
Validator information
Verify the validator before you delegate.
