PANews reported on May 28th that, according to its official blog, Coinbase staked approximately 40.48 million Solana coins in Q1 2026, representing about 9.52% of the total Solana staked on the network. It operates 23 validators across 6 countries using 100% self-built bare-metal nodes, achieving an APY of approximately 7.02%, slightly higher than the network average of 6.95%. Its block delay rate was 0.041%, lower than the network average of 0.198%. Its validator cluster employs a multi-client architecture including Harmonic, Jito, JitoBAM, Rakurai, and Firecanver, all adhering to the Solana Foundation's compliance requirements for schedulers. Coinbase also announced plans to test and integrate the Solana consensus layer rewrite upgrade "Alpenglow" and the network fiber backbone project "DoubleZero," aiming to achieve fast finality (100-150 milliseconds) and lower network latency in the future.
