digitalSOL Token

Delegators can stake natively to our validator with their favorite solana wallet or stake to our validator by buying our liquid staking token, digitalSOL, which allows for increased rewards and instant stake and unstake of SOL.

We will be offering extra rewards to our native stakers based on how much SOL delegated and length of time as well as referral rewards. Planning on also adding some element of gameification of staking to our validator.

The Operator

I'm Frank DePaola — founder and sole operator of Digital Energy, LLC. After 30 years building and running a dental practice in Hoboken, NJ, I transitioned to blockchain infrastructure full-time. I bring the same operational discipline to running a Solana validator that I brought to building a practice from zero patients to a thriving multi-provider office.

Digital Energy has been securing the Solana network since May 2023 — 545+ epochs of continuous operation. Operational redundancy through Singapore primary + Dallas hot-standby failover, both AMD EPYC with NVMe RAID storage. Validator keypairs secured via multi-signature authorization through Squads. The operational discipline of a regulated medical practice, applied to validator infrastructure.
