Most validators take 5–10% of your rewards and a slice of your MEV; exchanges keep 20–35% of your staking rewards. Stake.Cake takes 0% of both.
A 7% fee on 1,000 SOL skims ≈ 3.8 SOL/yr ≈ $382 — with us, it's zero.
Keep 100% — stake nowStake natively for full control, or go liquid through a pool that routes to Stake.Cake and keep using your SOL while it earns.
Connect your wallet, choose an amount and delegate. You keep full control of your keys, and rewards compound automatically every epoch (~2 days).

SOL Strategies
Strong yield, proven performance and zero fees — from a validator that's been on mainnet since 2023.
Top-100 validator by total APY. With 0% on inflation and 0% on MEV, every reward stays yours.
Missed slots are block rewards that never get paid — a validator running a 5% skip rate quietly costs its delegators part of every epoch. Ours stays near zero.
On Solana mainnet since 2023 — through client upgrades, congestion and network incidents. Longevity is the one metric that can't be faked or bought.
Check our commission, uptime and skip rate on Stakewiz or validators.app before you delegate — the same dashboards let you compare us against any other validator.
Stake.Cake is run from Tokyo by a small team of infrastructure engineers who have spent their careers keeping production systems online — and have run this validator on Solana mainnet since 2023, through client upgrades, congestion and network incidents. No white-label setup, no rented nodes: we own our hardware in two Tier II data centers, run the open-source Agave client with Jito, and carry the pager ourselves.
Everything we claim — commission, uptime, skip rate — is verifiable on-chain, our tooling is public on GitHub, and if something matters to your stake, you can email us and reach the people who actually operate the node.
We run Jito BAM for block assembly and connect over DoubleZero's dedicated fiber for low-latency networking.
Our node runs Jito's Block Assembly Marketplace. It sequences transactions privately inside secure enclaves (TEEs) and proves cryptographically that every block was built fairly.
Our validator connects through DoubleZero, a dedicated fiber backbone built for blockchains. Bypassing the public internet means lower latency and spam filtered at the network edge, before it ever reaches consensus.
Validator keys live on locked-down hosts: SSH-key access only (no passwords), MFA on every account, and strict least-privilege roles. The withdraw authority stays offline, in cold storage.
A tight network perimeter keeps only the essential ports exposed, with firewalling and DDoS protection shielding every node from malicious traffic.
Hot-standby nodes run across two independent Tier II-certified data centers. If primary hardware fails, automatic failover keeps votes landing and rewards flowing.
We run the open-source Agave client with Jito for MEV. No closed forks touch consensus, only community-audited code.
Automated checks watch vote credits, delinquency and skip rate around the clock. The moment a metric drifts, we're paged.
Commission, uptime, skip rate and rewards are recorded on-chain by the protocol itself. The same network-wide data feeds our Solana on-chain metrics charts.
Practical guides from the team running this validator — start to finish.
Native staking from Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger, step by step.
Inflation, MEV and how APY is really calculated.
The metrics that make a validator reliable, plus red flags.
Control and compounding versus liquidity and DeFi.
Cooldown timings and every instant-exit option.
Two ways. Stake natively from Phantom or Solflare by delegating to our vote account, or go liquid through a pool that delegates to us and receive an LST (JSOL, vSOL or jagSOL). See the Ways to stake section above. Either route takes about a minute.
Compare commission, uptime, skip rate and MEV sharing across many epochs — our guide on how to choose the best Solana validator walks through every check, and our live ranking of the best Solana validators applies them for you. By those metrics Stake.Cake runs 0% fees on both reward streams with uptime above 99% and a track record since 2023.
Solana is secured by validators that produce and vote on blocks. Delegating lends your SOL's voting weight to a validator like us, and your SOL never leaves your wallet's control. In return you earn a share of the protocol rewards for helping secure the network. New to it all? See the official Solana docs.
Zero. We take 0% commission on inflation (staking) rewards and 0% on MEV rewards, so you keep the maximum the protocol pays out, not us.
Currently around 5.4% APY. Rewards are paid every epoch (~2 days) and, with native staking, automatically restaked so they compound. Your exact yield moves with total network stake and validator participation.
It stays yours the entire time. Staking is non-custodial: delegating only assigns your stake's voting weight to us. Stake.Cake can never move, spend or withdraw your SOL. Only your wallet can.
Solana doesn't currently slash stake for ordinary validator downtime, so a poorly run validator costs you reduced rewards, not your principal. Your SOL stays in a stake account only your wallet controls — the real variable is the SOL price itself, not the act of staking.
No lock-up. You can deactivate your stake whenever you like; your SOL becomes withdrawable once the current epoch ends — that remainder is the whole wait, with nothing behind it. Prefer instant exit? Liquid staking tokens (JSOL, vSOL, jagSOL) can be swapped back to SOL on DeFi markets at any moment.
Solana now enforces a minimum delegation of 1 SOL per stake account. Beyond that, the stake account holds a small rent-exempt reserve (~0.0023 SOL, returned when you close it). Stake.Cake adds no minimum of its own.
They're liquid staking tokens (LSTs). When you stake through JPool, The Vault or JagPool (pools that delegate to Stake.Cake), you receive a token that represents your staked SOL and keeps earning rewards while you use it across Solana DeFi. Redeem it for SOL whenever you want.
0% fees, a strong track record on mainnet since 2023, and enterprise-grade infrastructure: two Tier II data centers with automatic failover, plus next-gen tech like Jito BAM and the DoubleZero fiber network. And every metric we show is public and verifiable on-chain.
Usually within two epochs — about 4 days. Your stake activates at the next epoch boundary, earns through the epoch that follows, and that reward is credited at the boundary after it. The wait happens once; from then on rewards arrive every epoch.
Your SOL is unaffected — it sits in a stake account your wallet controls, not ours. If we stopped operating, the stake would simply stop earning once the validator went delinquent, and you would deactivate it or redelegate to another validator. Nothing we do or fail to do can lock, move or claim it.
Yes. Connect the Ledger through Phantom or Solflare and delegate as usual — the steps are identical, you just confirm on the device. Your keys never leave the hardware wallet, and the stake account stays under its control.
That depends on where you live, and this isn't tax advice. In most jurisdictions staking rewards count as income at the moment you receive them, with a separate capital-gains event when you later sell. Native rewards land every epoch and compound, so keep a record per epoch — the SOL price at the moment of receipt is usually the figure that matters.
