CatalystX Solana validator infrastructure

Independent infrastructure, public performance

We run the validator behind the path.

CatalystX is operated by S3RDV LLC. We combine high-performance Solana validation with practical connectivity for RPC operators, infrastructure providers, builders, and delegators.

Our operating model

Geographic standby with planned and emergency failover.

Rotterdam is the active validator, with geographically separate standby sites in Frankfurt and Madrid. Operator-reported transition times are approximately 200 ms for planned failover and approximately 40 seconds for an unplanned emergency failover. These figures are not an SLA.

How we operate

Built around measurable network outcomes.

Latency

Fast voting

We tune infrastructure and network paths for near-one-slot voting, then rely on public dashboards to show the result.

Resilience

Geographic standby

Three European locations are designed to reduce dependence on one facility or metro.

Operations

Measured and observable

Validator health, voting, connectivity, and infrastructure telemetry inform operator response.

Network standing

Trusted across different delegation models.

CatalystX participates in validator programs serving different audiences—from institutional allocators to performance-driven liquid staking users.
