Decentralising Solana. Across The Globe.
StarPool is a non-custodial, smart contract-based staking pool designed to support Solana’s decentralisation mandate by routing stake to underrepresented validators across Africa, LATAM, Asia, Canada, and beyond.
In partnership with Stardust Academy, we help emerging validators improve performance and visibility, while our proprietary infrastructure analysis enables smarter, data center– and geography–aware stake routing.
Stake with Purpose. Stay Liquid and Secure.
With StarPool, staking is purposeful and liquid. When you delegate, you receive StarSol — a liquid staking token that grows in value as rewards accumulate. Unstake anytime by swapping StarSol back to SOL, avoiding long lock-up periods.
The underlying staking protocol is developed by Solana Labs and operates fully non-custodially. StarPool builds on this with a mission-aligned strategy that directs stake to underrepresented regional validators.
Fair Decentralisation. Real Impact.
StarPool supports credible, underrepresented validators who strengthen Solana’s global decentralisation. If you're operating outside the dominant data centre hubs — in Africa, LATAM, Asia, or other underserved regions — we want to hear from you.
We run a mission-driven stake allocation process, reviewing applications weekly against clear, published criteria — ensuring fair access to stake, no political games, and a commitment to operational excellence.
Two Ways to Stake. One Shared Purpose.
Whether you want control or convenience, StarPool gives you the tools to stake SOL your way — while supporting the decentralisation of Solana.
