最新报道：According to Bijie.com, research-driven cryptocurrency firm Delphi Digital and institutional staking platform Chorus One have partnered to launch a new institutional-grade validator on Solana. Delphi Consulting, the strategic consulting arm of Delphi Digital, and Chorus One will leverage their respective platforms' infrastructure and expertise to strengthen institutional staking on Solana (SOL), the two companies said in an announcement. Delphi Consulting noted that this new institutional-grade validator represents a renewed commitment to Solana's security and decentralization, contributing to the long-term success of layer-1 blockchains. The integration and launch of the validator is part of Delphi's expansion of its presence in the decentralized finance ecosystem, with services now combining insights and network participation. Solana is the second-largest blockchain in terms of total value locked (TVL), after Ethereum (ETH). According to DeFiLlama, 349 protocols have a combined value locked of over $11.4 billion. The Solana network continues to grow as a platform, with its speed, low fees, and developer community being key factors. In addition to DeFi, the network supports a robust ecosystem of non-fungible tokens, payment solutions, and Web3 gaming. By running a Solana validator, Delphi and Chorus One are tapping into support for institutional adoption. "We are excited to run a Solana validator and deepen Delphi's role in supporting the networks we trust," said Ashwath Balakrishnan, Head of Delphi Consulting. "Implementing validator strategies for chains we trust is a natural extension of our work, bridging our research insights with practical participation in these ecosystems." Solana currently has over 1,000 validators, including Coinbase, Binance, Helius, and Galaxy. These participants decentralize the network through their computing resources and earn validator rewards through protocol-defined inflation, staking, and stake pools. Chorus One and Delphi previously collaborated on the launch of the validator program for Initia, a layer 1 blockchain network with customizable layer 2 rollups.
