Frequently Asked Questions About Solana Validator. Part 2

We've collected key questions to help you better understand the program and make an informed decision.

Why run a Solana validator?

• Passive income with a leading blockchain – the validator earns stable rewards from network operations.
• High earning potential – SOL is volatile, and analysts predict a price increase to $750.
• Solana Foundation Delegation Program – provides support for new validators, including covering the costs of voting and delegated steak.

The validator program offers a clear business model and a long-term investment with high earning potential.

What are the risks?

• Market volatility: the SOL price can fluctuate.
• Solana may update the program’s terms, impacting profitability.
• Due to validator onboarding queues, the testnet period may last longer than expected.

Can I launch a validator myself?

Yes, but you'll need:

• Strong technical skills.
• 24/7 monitoring and network support.
• Server and maintenance costs.

How long does the testnet last, and when will I start earning?

The testnet period typically lasts 12–18 months. After testing, your validator moves to mainnet, and Solana distributes SOL to help offset your expenses and increase your earnings.

What are the costs?

$4,800 per year + 110 SOL, covering:

1. Setup fee – $2,120:

- $800 for testnet setup.

- $800 for mainnet setup.

- $260/month for server (first 2 months included).

2. Server maintenance – $260/month (starting from the 3^rd month).

3. Minimum deposit for mainnet transition – 100 SOL + 10 SOL for fees.

4. Mainnet service fee – 12–15% of validator earnings.

How much can I earn?

Validators in the mainnet can generate ~ $3,000–$6,000 per month, with a potential first-year income of up to ~ $60,000 (assuming SOL is priced at ~ $200).

Earnings depend on market conditions and network parameters, but running a validator provides a stable income stream.
