Magic Eden, the leading marketplace on Solana, is launching its own Solana validator in collaboration with @SentinelStake and @PhaseLabs_. This move brings real utility to the $ME ecosystem and allows stakers to earn passively through validator revenue.
💰 100% Validator Revenue Goes to $ME Stakers
What makes this launch different? 100% of the validator’s revenue—generated from block rewards and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) capture—will be returned directly to $ME stakers. This passive yield model is designed to give back to the Magic Eden community, not just secure the network.
How It Works
- Anyone can deposit SOL or swap into meSOL.
- Validator revenue is used to buy back $ME.
- Payouts are distributed bi-annually based on your staking power (SP).
- The more average SP you hold over 6 months, the higher your APY.
🎉 Bonus: Magic Eden’s 25,000 SOL Self-Stake
To kick things off, $ME stakers will also benefit from Magic Eden’s 25,000 SOL self-stake for the first 6 months. This additional yield is stacked on top of the regular validator rewards, making early participation even more rewarding.
Why It Matters
Magic Eden’s validator isn’t just about staking. It’s about reinventing the validator role—from network security to community empowerment. By reinvesting all validator revenue back into the ecosystem, $ME stakers directly benefit from the growth of the Solana network.
This move represents a shift in how Web3 infrastructure can be both sustainable and community-first.
🔗 Partnership with Sentinel Stake
A strategic partnership with @SentinelStake, a trusted name in validator infrastructure. Their expertise will help support the long-term health and scalability of this initiative.
🚀 The Future of Staking on Solana
This validator is just the beginning. Magic Eden plans to work closely with partners to expand validator reach, enhance product utility, and continue to deliver value to the $ME community.
