Uncompromising Security for Your Staked Assets

Staking SOL with BlockRush is inherently secure. As a non-custodial validator, we never have access to your private keys or your funds. Your SOL remains in your control on the blockchain at all times. Furthermore, there is currently no automatic slashing on the Solana network.

To go beyond the basics and ensure the integrity of our validator operations, BlockRush implements a rigorous, multi-layered security framework:

• Multi-Layered Defense ProtocolOur security architecture utilizes a defense-in-depth approach. This includes enterprise-grade firewalls, a robust Sentry Node architecture to mask our validator's identity, and real-time Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). This ensures comprehensive protection against DDoS attacks and external threats.

• Encryption & Zero-Trust AccessOur validator infrastructure operates on a "least privilege" basis. We enforce strict access controls where password-based logins are disabled in favor of high-strength SSH key authentication. All internal communications are secured via encrypted tunnels to prevent interception.

• Proactive Patch ManagementWe stay ahead of the curve. Our team continuously monitors the Solana ecosystem for critical updates. We employ a hybrid update strategy—automating security patches where safe, and manually applying protocol upgrades—to eliminate vulnerabilities while maintaining system stability.

• Hardware-Secured Key ManagementWe adhere to the highest standards of key operational security.

  • Operational Keys: Only essential voting keys are kept online.
  • Authorized Access: The validator's withdraw authority and identity management keys are stored offline in hardware wallets (Cold Storage). This ensures that even in the unlikely event of a server compromise, administrative control remains physically secure.

• 24/7 Monitoring & Redundancy

Reliability translates to rewards. Our systems are monitored 24/7 by both automated alerts and our data center engineers. With geographically distributed failover capabilities, we ensure high availability and rapid recovery to maximize your staking APY.

• Open Communication & Transparency

We believe in building trust through transparency. We maintain open channels with our delegators. If you have any questions regarding our infrastructure or security practices, please reach out to us directly.
