Frequently Asked Questions

Validators are complicated. We understand.
You have questions? We have answers!

Aero is an initiative led by Phase Labs to support Solana contributors.

AeroPool is a stake pool committed to empowering emerging and mid-sized Solana validators with stake to continue building products, tools, and communities for the ecosystem.

AeroMetal offers highly performant hardware and deployment tools to run validators and RPCs on Solana and several other chains. We bundle what you need into an easy to use interface, cutting out the complexity and getting you up and running in minutes.

We focus on supporting Solana contributors and dedicated members of the community. Building on Solana full-time comes with risk and AeroPool wants to do it's part by making that opportunity easier for teams just starting out.

Submit your application here. We review new applications on a weekly cadence based on our delegation principles. No matter the outcome, you will hear back from us.

Yes! To be eligible for AeroPool stake, you must already be running a validator and be an active SFDP participant. If you have questions on how to do this, just contact us or try starting your own validator in minutes with AeroMetal.

We can't commit to exact amounts, but they are reasonable estimates. We use trusted 3rd party APIs as inputs to our calculations. However, stake amounts are subject to change from the various stake pools, inflation is always changing, and voting costs are variable. We strive to keep this page up to date and have it be a valuable resource to everyone.

Yes, we value active Solana participants above all else. If you have any questions on how to do this, just contact us!

We do! If you're accepted into AeroPool, we will delegate stake to your validator, grant you access into our Telegram, and help you establish yourselves within Solana. Our goal is to provide support to help your team grow!

Check out our validator profit calculator page first, from there start to do your own research into setting up your validator, come back soon to our AeroMetal page for step by step instructions, and if you're still stuck, contact us, and we'll chat!

It's common for stake to be rebalanced for validators in AeroPool. As new validators come onboard or validators graduate out of the stake pool, our stake pool operators will rebalance available stake based on the tiered delegation strategy ensuring consistent stake across all AeroPool validators.
