Edgevana
AuditedVerifiedEdgevana is a Solana liquid-staking protocol operated by Edgevana Inc. (an edge-compute / validator-infrastructure company) that issues edgeSOL, an SPL Stake Pool token delegating SOL across ~49 algorithmically-scored validators running on Edgevana infrastructure.

The Problem
Solo SOL stakers face a tradeoff between picking a single validator (concentration risk, idle SOL during epoch transitions) and using a top-3 LST (high concentration of stake into a few operators), with limited transparency on validator selection.
The Solution
Edgevana issues edgeSOL via the canonical SPL Stake Pool program and uses a public V3 algorithm to distribute stake across ~49 scored validators — all running on Edgevana's own infrastructure — while preserving instant on-chain withdrawal (withdraw-sol from reserve, or withdraw-stake to receive an activated stake account).
Why it Matters
Tightly integrated with Edgevana Inc.'s validator infrastructure (validators must run on Edgevana servers to be eligible); ranks via a public scoring methodology (performance 50% + reputability + commission caps + MEV returns + region decentralization); the lowest-fee multi-validator SPL stake pool on Solana (1% rewards fee).
