Get weekly USDC rewards from your SOL with Triton One's Private Validator
What staking options are out there?
On Solana, you’ve got a few different ways to put your SOL to work:
- Run your own validator,
- Delegate to someone else’s validator,
- Swap your SOL into a Liquid Staking Token (LST), or
- Provide liquidity on a DeFi platform and earn yield.
Each of these approaches generates rewards, but there’s always a catch when it comes to actually using that yield. If you’re staking natively, you need to split your delegation and unstake that portion of your delegation before you can spend it. With LSTs, you might still face taxable events whenever you trade or convert. In other words, your rewards are there, but they’re not always simple to access.
Where Triton One comes in
We offer Private Trusted Validator services designed to simplify this. Instead of juggling unstaking or conversions, you delegate to a private validator that:
- runs at 100% commission, and
- distributes the rewards back to you in USDC, once a week.
Those rewards don’t just come from Solana’s native inflation. You also receive:
- part of the block rewards,
- MEV tips via Jito, and
- rewards from selling SWQoS transaction bandwidth on the Cascade Marketplace.
Right now, we don’t see any other validators structuring payouts in this way.
Why people choose this route
This private validator model is especially useful for:
- people or teams with larger delegations (minimum 2,500 SOL) who want steady income to cover operating expenses, and
- delegators in regions where trading staking rewards into stablecoins could create extra tax complexity, and receiving rewards directly in USDC may be a smoother path.
And beyond mechanics, Triton has always been a trusted validator that actively participates in Solana’s governance. We invest heavily in failover and reliability, and we’ve stayed close to protocol development as the ecosystem evolves.
How onboarding works
Because this is a private arrangement, it starts with a simple agreement between Triton One and you, the delegator. After that, the process is straightforward:
- Delegate to the Private Validator.
- Provide the public key where you’d like your USDC rewards sent each week.
Done! We’re happy to walk through the details with you on an onboarding call – just sign up and we’ll reach out.
