Stopped running Jito-Solana. Delegators no longer earn MEV tips.

Validator just switched from jito-solana to the stock Agave client, meaning MEV tip revenue that would have flowed to delegators is now being forfeited. A deliberate change, not a technical issue. Worth understanding why.

Went dark. Missed votes.

Validator stopped participating in consensus and was flagged delinquent by the network. Delegators earn zero rewards for every epoch this persists. There is no automatic recovery - the validator must catch up and resume voting before rewards resume.

Validator resumed running jito-solana after a prior opt-out. MEV tip revenue flows to delegators again.

Apr 23 26, 15:29 UTCresolvedRunning vanilla Solana. MEV tips forfeited.

Running vanilla Solana. MEV tips forfeited.

Validator is running the stock Agave client rather than jito-solana, which means they are forfeiting MEV tip revenue that could otherwise flow to their delegators. For validators with meaningful stake this is a direct cost to delegators that does not show up in the advertised commission.
