SOL Strategies Joins Pye as a Validator Partner

SOL Strategies Joins Pye as a Validator Partner

SOL Strategies is joining Pye as a validator partner and will be listed on the platform as an eligible validator for staking.

As the first Solana Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), SOL Strategies has been a pioneer in thinking about how staked assets can be managed over long time horizons. That perspective is important as staking evolves beyond static delegation.

As DATs mature, it's a natural next step for them to access DeFi, programmable staking rewards, and 24/7 stake trading. Pye is building the infrastructure to support that evolution - enabling stake to function as a composable financial asset, while remaining anchored to DAT operations & validator economics.

Collaborations like this help ensure the next phase of validator finance and stake trading is designed alongside real-world operating models, before these markets scale.

As a core validator partner, SOL Strategies brings deep operational insight into how staking, rewards, and validator economics work in practice. This input is critical as we define how programmable stake accounts and stake trading should function before these markets scale.

Why This Collaboration Matters

Pye is collaborating with a small group of validators, ranging from independent operators to institutional participants, to shape and refine early products and run controlled DeFi pilot programs. While all applicants will be considered, only a limited number of spots are available. Selected partners will gain early access and bonus rewards.

These collaborations allow validators to:

• Provide real-world operational feedback on staking infrastructure
• Participate in early pilots across Pye products
• In the case of stake trading, participate in trials that help inform the microstructure of stake markets

By working directly with validators, Pye ensures that new staking and trading primitives are designed with practical constraints and validator–staker alignment in mind.

What Comes Next

At this stage, Pye's collaboration roadmap with validator partners is focused primarily on stake trading.

As the platform evolves, partners may be invited to participate in stake trading pilots and contribute feedback on market structure and future validator-finance capabilities built on top of stake accounts.
