A: Blockport (blockport.xyz) is the new identity for the high-performance Solana validator previously known as Zeta Node. We're an independent infrastructure provider run by the same experienced team.
Why did Zeta Node rebrand to Blockport?
A: Rebranding allows us to focus independently on our mission: providing best-in-class staking and future infrastructure services (like RPCs) for the entire Solana ecosystem. It gives us the operational freedom to expand our offerings.
Is this related to the Zeta Markets / Bullet.xyz rebrand?
A: We maintain a positive relationship with Bullet.xyz, and they support this transition. However, Blockport is now a fully independent entity with its own distinct mission focused on foundational infrastructure.
Who is behind Blockport?
A: Blockport is operated by a team with deep Solana experience, including roles supporting early ecosystem growth and building with prominent DeFi protocols, backed by 3+ years of proven validator operation.
I was staked with Zeta Node. Do I need to do anything?
A: No. The validator identity key has not changed. Your delegation continues seamlessly with Blockport. No action is required.
Is my staked SOL safe?
A: Yes. Your funds remain securely staked to the same underlying validator infrastructure. Blockport uses the same robust security practices and hardware operated under the Zeta Node name.
Is Blockport run by the same team as Zeta Node?
A: Yes, the same core team with 3+ years of experience managing this validator is running Blockport.
A: We charge 0% inflation commission and 8% MEV commission. We currently retain 100% of block rewards as programmatic distribution is not yet feasible on Solana (this may change post-SIMD123).
Why 0% inflation commission?
A: We believe in maximizing direct staking rewards for our delegators. Our model focuses on performance-driven income.
Have you ever raised fees?
A: No. We are committed to transparency and have maintained our public commission structure since inception (over 3 years).
How do I stake with Blockport?
A: Please register your interest here to be contacted by one of our team to take care of this.
A: We have operated continuously for over 3 years with a proven 99.9% uptime record.
How does Blockport ensure security?
A: We employ multi-layered security, including HSMs for key management, MFA for access, robust monitoring, and secure infrastructure across multiple data centers. More info.
How do you optimize staking yields?
A: High uptime, optimized hardware (AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro, NVMe), strategic data center locations, MEV Capture, and a focus on efficient block production.
