How do I stake SOL with the ERPC validator?+
Connect your Solana wallet, enter the amount of SOL you want to stake, and select the ERPC validator as your target. The staking transaction will create a new stake account and delegate it.

The ERPC validator has a WizScore of 88.8 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.
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 ERPC 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.
