The Solana Foundation has announced new requirements for its validator delegation program, set to take effect on May 1, 2026. These changes aim to enhance network performance and user experience by focusing on transaction ordering fairness, prohibiting censorship, and implementing stricter timing rules. Additionally, the foundation will impose restrictions on ASN and data center concentration to ensure a more decentralized network. The monitoring platform Ghost will assist in tracking and publishing network health metrics to support these updates. The adjustments are part of the foundation's ongoing efforts to maintain a robust and efficient blockchain ecosystem.
