Hey, I'm Solya 👋

Solana validator operator from Ukraine. Building open source tools for network decentralization.

⚡ Validator

I've been running a Solana validator since 2021. Working now with 0% commission on both inflation and MEV rewards. The node is deliberately hosted in São Paulo, Brazil, outside the US/EU datacenter majority, to actually contribute to geographic decentralization of the network.

🔭 SONDA

Solana Observatory for Network Decentralization Analysis

Over the years of running a validator, I kept running into the same problem: the data you need to make good infrastructure decisions just isn't reliable. Choosing a datacenter, evaluating geographic distribution, comparing latency across regions — tools like validators.app and others often show inaccurate or conflicting location data, and there's no way to tell which source is right.

I started writing scripts to cross-check this stuff for myself. Then decentralization became more than just a personal concern — it became clear that the whole network needs better visibility into its own structure. That's when I decided to turn those private scripts into an open tool that anyone can use.

SONDA is the result:

  • 🌍 Cross-verified geolocation — every IP checked against 4 independent providers (DB-IP, IPInfo, GeoJS, ip-api), discrepancies detected and logged, not hidden
  • 📡 DoubleZero as ground truth — protocol-verified device locations automatically correct what geo databases get wrong
  • 🗺️ Full infrastructure map — not just validators, but DZ devices, BAM nodes, Jito block engines, Harmonic, Rakurai, NTP servers, RPC nodes, co-hosted nodes — 16 role types total
  • 📊 Multi-dimensional metrics — Nakamoto coefficient, HHI, Gini, Shannon entropy across country, ASN, city, and validator dimensions simultaneously
  • ⚡ Fast — full mainnet scan of ~5,000 nodes in ~17 seconds with intelligent per-source caching
  • 🔓 Open source — MIT licensed, all data sources documented
