List of Node Software projects on Solana (2026)

Fork of Solana Labs client with MEV-extraction capabilities and improved spam mitigation.

RPC Plane Binary is a self-hosted Solana RPC proxy that routes requests across multiple RPC providers a user already has accounts with. It runs as a single Rust binary alongside an application, scoring provider health in real time on latency, error rate, and slot freshness, then failing over automatically through circuit breakers when a provider degrades. Developers and trading, wallet, and indexing teams point their existing Solana client at a local endpoint to gain multi-provider routing, slot-drift detection, and parallel write broadcast without changing their application code.

Rakurai is a Solana validator software with proprietary scheduling and pipeline optimizations, delivering boosted transaction throughput compared to standard clients through improved block creation and transaction processing.

ORE is a proof-of-work token distribution with personalized computational challenges on Solana, enabling fair mining rewards and staking multipliers up to 2x. The system uses DrillX hash function to maintain mining accessibility across consumer devices while distributing one token per minute globally through web and CLI interfaces.

RockawayX Infrastructure operates validators across multiple blockchain networks using dedicated data centers and custom hardware. The service provides staking infrastructure, protocol-ready GPU solutions, and specialized RPC services for blockchain projects.

Agave is a validator client for Solana Mainnet forked from the original Solana Labs validator, enabling network participants to validate transactions and maintain consensus. The client implements protocol upgrades, performance optimizations, and security enhancements to improve Solana network reliability and uptime.

BAM (Blockspace Assembly Market) extends the Jito-Solana client to interface with external schedulers via gRPC, receiving pre-sequenced transaction bundles and executing them in FIFO order with respect to account locks. This design maintains network security while enabling sophisticated transaction ordering strategies. Access to BAM is fully permissionless, and any validator can join mainnet or testnet by following the instructions below.

Firedancer is a high-performance validator client for Solana written in C, providing enhanced networking throughput, security through client diversity, and improved blockchain efficiency through optimized hardware utilization and parallel processing architecture.

Tinydancer is an open-source light client implementation for the Solana blockchain.

Paladin is a modified Solana validator client based on Jito that provides anti-sandwiching protection and priority transaction processing. The system combines validator software with P3 priority ports to filter harmful MEV while enabling fast transaction inclusion for authorized senders.
