01 · Overview
How profits are calculated.
Not a flat APR. Each epoch, 40% of validator profit goes to the treasury pot. After EOE, whitelisted stakers are paid by the slots they brought. 1,000 SOL minimum.
BLACKMONT
Stake with BlackMont. Keep your base Solana staking APY, then add roughly ~1% on top every year from fund rewards. 1,000 SOL minimum to qualify.
How it works
Send your stake-account or wallet pubkey to support. We add you to the fund allowlist. Keys stay with you.
Stakers: delegate at least 1,000 SOL to be eligible. Partners: bring a validator into the fund network.
Fund payouts land after each epoch in your nominated wallet. Change it anytime via support.
Why BlackMont
On Solana, every solid validator pays roughly the same base staking APY — currently around ~6% (varies by epoch, inflation, and commission). Stake with BlackMont and you keep that base yield, plus fund credits that target about ~1% extra per year on top of native staking rewards.

Compared to large validators
Live net APYs from public trackers (Stakewiz, QuickNode) and each operator’s own staking page — then BlackMont with ~1% fund credits on top.
Sources checked: Stakewiz & QuickNode (Helius / Bitwise ~5.26%, Jupiter ~4.96%, Figment ~4.85%); Figment.com lists ~5.09% SRR; Helius markets 0% commission / 100% MEV. BlackMont assumes a similar ~5.3% network base + ~1% / year fund credits for whitelisted stakers. APYs move every epoch — not a guarantee.

01 · Overview
Not a flat APR. Each epoch, 40% of validator profit goes to the treasury pot. After EOE, whitelisted stakers are paid by the slots they brought. 1,000 SOL minimum.
02 · Slots
Baseline example: the validator runs 100,000 SOL / 100 slots. Stake you add on top is measured the same way — more SOL, more slots you brought.
03 · The pot
Each epoch, 40% of validator profit (fees / tips / related yield) enters the BlackMont pot. After EOE, only whitelisted stakers share it — by slots brought on top of the validator’s own stake.
04 · Example in practise
You add 50k SOL (50 slots). Epoch profit 15 SOL → pot 6 SOL. Alone, you take the full pot. Two people at 25k each split it.

For stakers
To qualify for BlackMont epoch payouts you must stake at least 1,000 SOL with the BlackMont validator. Under 1,000 SOL you are not eligible for fund credits. Standard on-chain staking rewards still apply separately.
Message @blackmontfund with your stake-account or wallet pubkey.
Once active stake meets the 1,000 SOL eligibility floor, you’re on the allowlist. Confirmation via the channel.
Eligible stakers receive fund credits to their payout wallet after each epoch.
Referrals
Refer a validator into BlackMont and you receive 20% of that validator’s gains — paid each epoch to your payout wallet. You are credited as the referrer; the operator runs their node under the fund partnership.
