The revenue for Solana validators has significantly increased over the past year, with new validators entering the fray. Kairos Research has launched a Solana validator in partnership with Firstset, while Helius, the largest validator on the network, decided to get into staking when a new feature prioritizing network traffic based on stake was introduced. Sol Strategies, a holding company focused on Solana, has also acquired two validator operations. The revenue for validators comes from block rewards, MEV, and priority fees, with larger validators earning more. Validators' profitability relies on Solana maintaining its high level of usage.
