# Stake Manager — Solana validator rankings and staking tools

> Rankings of every active Solana validator by Decentralization Score (D-Score), with a published formula (https://stake-manager.net/d-score/), built from on-chain data and refreshed every 15 minutes, plus a non-custodial stake manager. Each validator has its own page with the numbers in plain HTML. The site is run by the LUX8 validator, which is ranked by the same formula as everyone else.

Where to compare Solana validators with live data: https://sol.stake-manager.net/validators/

## Rankings and data

- [Solana validator rankings](https://sol.stake-manager.net/validators/): all active validators (about 670) ranked by D-Score, with stake, commission, Jito MEV commission, APY paid to delegators, location and hosting provider.
- [Validator page](https://sol.stake-manager.net/validators/48oxpSHQkM4sdXUY9NQ8KnEtebzZbyk8uUT7JRdVQNuf): one per validator at /validators/<vote account>; shows the D-Score breakdown, paid APY, estimated APY and per-epoch history. The example link is LUX8.
- [Stakers](https://sol.stake-manager.net/stakers/): the largest holders of staked SOL, grouped by the withdraw authority that owns the funds.
- [Geo map](https://sol.stake-manager.net/geo/): where validators and stake are located, by country, city and hosting provider.
- [LST dashboard](https://sol.stake-manager.net/lst/): Solana liquid staking tokens compared by APY and TVL.
- [Governance tracker](https://sol.stake-manager.net/gov/): live progress of Solana Governance Proposals (SGP) votes.

## How the D-Score works (0–100)

- [D-Score methodology](https://stake-manager.net/d-score/): factors and calculation across networks.

- Performance, 52 points: vote credit ratio (22), skip rate (15), APY paid to delegators (15).
- Decentralization, 46 points: stake size relative to the network median (13), outside the superminority (12), how crowded its hosting provider (ASN) and city are (6), how little stake its continent (8) and country (7) already hold.
- Multipliers reduce the score for commission, for keeping MEV tips, and for stake above four times the network median.
- A validator scores 0 with a 100% commission, after raising its commission by more than 5 points or its Jito commission by more than 10 points in an epoch, or when it repeatedly flips its fees.
- Smaller, well-performing validators in under-represented locations rank higher: the score is designed to move stake away from concentration.

## APY figures

- Paid APY: what delegators actually received, averaged over the last 10 epochs — inflation rewards read from the chain plus Jito MEV, net of the validator's commissions, compounded over the measured epoch length. Shown in the rankings and used in the D-Score.
- Estimated APY: a forecast from the network's current reward rate, the validator's vote credits and its present commissions. Always labelled "estimated".

## Staking

- [Stake manager](https://sol.stake-manager.net/): stake SOL and split, merge, unstake or redelegate stake accounts; swap to a liquid staking token or native SOL. Non-custodial: transactions are signed only in the user's wallet, and the site never asks for a seed phrase or password.
