Discover Sila Systems – A Leading Solana Validator

Our Mission is to secure and grow the fastest Solana Blockchain in the world by providing competitive and outstanding services to our delegators.

                                                                                                …..and watching their SOL grow 🙂

Sila Systems is a high quality, performant, and reliable validator, trusted by Solana stake holders. We strive to provide the best possible operations to keep the Solana block chain & Ecosystem strong. We don’t charge a commission, which along with our superior performance allows for some of the best yields among Solana validators. On top of that we run modified Solana software (Jito) which gives our stake holders even more rewards (MEV).

Unlike other validators, we don’t divide our attention between Solana and many other block chains. We are 100% focused on Solana as the network of the future and will not compromise our focus by running other services.

We operate one of the best performing Solana validators to help process transactions at lightning speed and increase decentralization and censorship resistance of the Solana network.
