How long has the BitQi validator been running?+
The BitQi validator has been active on Solana for approximately 4.1 years, first receiving stake in epoch 347. A longer track record generally indicates a more experienced and reliable operator.
What staking APY does the BitQi validator offer?+
The BitQi validator currently offers an estimated total APY of 0.00%. APY can fluctuate based on network conditions, validator performance, and MEV activity.
What commission does the BitQi validator charge?+
The BitQi validator charges a 5% commission on staking rewards. This means stakers receive 95% of their earned rewards, while the validator retains 5%.
How reliable is the BitQi validator?+
The BitQi validator has an uptime of 0.0% and a vote success rate of 0.00%. High uptime means the validator consistently participates in consensus, which is important for earning maximum staking rewards. The current skip rate is 0.00%.
Does the BitQi validator support Jito MEV rewards?+
No, the BitQi validator does not currently run the Jito validator client, so stakers will not receive MEV tip distributions. Staking rewards are limited to the standard Solana inflation rewards. Consider this when comparing total yields across validators.
How do I stake SOL with the BitQi validator?+
Connect your Solana wallet, enter the amount of SOL you want to stake, and select the BitQi validator as your target. The staking transaction will create a new stake account and delegate it. Your stake will become active after one epoch (approximately 2–3 days), after which you'll start earning rewards.
What is the BitQi validator's WizScore and what does it mean?+
The BitQi validator has a WizScore of 0.0 out of 10. The WizScore is a composite metric from StakeWiz that evaluates validators based on performance, uptime, commission, stake concentration, and other factors. A higher score indicates a more reliable and well-run validator.
Why is the BitQi validator showing as delinquent?+
The BitQi validator is currently flagged as delinquent, meaning it has fallen behind in voting on the Solana network. This can happen due to hardware issues, software bugs, or network connectivity problems. While delinquent, the validator does not earn staking rewards. You may want to consider redelegating your stake to an active validator until the issue is resolved.
How are staking rewards distributed?+
Solana staking rewards are distributed automatically at the end of each epoch (approximately every 2–3 days). Rewards are added directly to your stake account balance and compound automatically. The validator takes their commission percentage before distributing the remainder to delegators proportional to their stake.
How do I unstake my SOL from the BitQi validator?+
To unstake, select your stake account and click the unstake button. Your stake will enter a cooldown period lasting one epoch (approximately 2–3 days). After the cooldown completes, your SOL becomes withdrawable back to your wallet. If you have MEV rewards, you can harvest them before unstaking.
