Validator Revenue Flow

Validator ➝ Staging Wallet ➝ Realms Treasuries

1. 100% validator revenue is sent to the Staging Wallet

2. Validator operator fees are deducted from the Staging Wallet

3. The remaining (net) revenue is then allocated as follows:

---

Staging Wallet – 60% of Net Revenue

• 50% remains in Staging → 83.33% of the allocation.

  • Used to maximize validator earnings (e.g. vSOL)

• 10% is swapped to $USDC → 16.67% of the allocation. 💼 Reserved for budget planning ❌ No expenses allowed from this wallet, except validator and stake pool fees

---

Sent to Realms Treasuries – 40% of Net Revenue

• 35% is sent as SOL → 87.5% of the allocation.

• 5% is swapped to SagaDAO token → 12.5% of the allocation.

Strategic Significance

Infrastructure Control

By operating our own validator, we:

• Secure a foundational role in Solana’s infrastructure

• Increase our governance and influence in Web3 mobile

• Create a sustainable income stream that reduces reliance on royalties or grants

Low Risk, High Return

Foundation Match

We’re part of the Solana Foundation’s Validator Delegation Program, which supports ecosystem contributors by helping them grow reliable validators.

• ~30,000 SOL staked directly by the Solana Foundation

• Matches outside delegations up to 100,000 SOL

• Stake is locked for up to one year

This gives our validator a strong starting base, boosts rewards for the DAO, and highlights our role as a trusted participant in the Solana ecosystem.

Community-Backed

This validator was approved by a community vote as a DAO proposal, with overwhelming support recognizing it as a key to:

• Financial self-sufficiency
