I’ve been in Solana since 2020.
I remember when staking SOL felt like a side quest you needed a PhD to complete.
If you used Sollet back then, you know what I mean. 😂
In 2026: every major wallet supports @solana.
But staking UX still has one annoying little problem 👇🧵

What I like about on-chain research is that you sometimes start with a very small personal annoyance…
and end up discovering something happening at scale.
I thought I was just occasionally forgetting to withdraw my unstaked SOL.
Turns out, there are tens of thousands of us.

OG @solana validators - it's time to check your old stake account
If you know waht I mean
Validators: you should probably check this one.
269 dormant accounts came from Tour de Sun 22 payouts - testnet rewards from 2022–24, 58,342 SOL across 77 operators.
Median balance: 70 SOL, about 20x the typical dormant account, and almost none of it has moved: just 1.4% withdrawn in two months.
Worth checking.

There are 2 ways to vote on SGPs:
1. Connect your validator identity or stake account withdraw authority to governance.solana.com to vote via the UI.
2. Use the svmgov command line tool: crates.io/crates/svmgov to vote with your validator identity or your stake account withdraw authority. Docs for svmgov are here: docs.governance.solana.com/s…
The voting ends in just under 24 hours at the end of epoch 1023. Go Vote! 🗳️

Two of the three proposals we backed cost us money. SGP-0002 compresses staking yield. SGP-0003 burns fees that used to reach validators. SolBrothers voted YES on all three anyway. Here’s the reasoning, including the parts we’re not sure about. 🧵

I was one of the co-authors of this report.
A few findings from the data really stood out to me. 🧵
We classified every one of the 1,497,112 stake accounts on Solana at epoch 1000, here’s what we found 🧵👇
426.9M SOL staked - 68% of supply, 73.6% of circulating.
594,459 unique owners.
703 active validators.
5.73% gross yield.

4. SIMD-0550
If SIMD-0550 passes, staking yields could fall dramatically as inflation declines.
That changes the economics of native staking.
At ~2% nominal yield, liquidity, composability and capital efficiency become much more important.

5. Conclusion
That’s probably my biggest takeaway from the research:
The next phase of Solana staking may be less about maximizing APY — and more about maximizing capital efficiency.
