The best market making community in Crypto lives on Meteora. The MET LP Army is a global collection of liquidity providers (LP's) working to shift the crypto narrative from pump-and-dump, to sustainable fee-based markets.
Internet networks and long-tail markets have created $Trillions of value. Meteora and the LP Army want to 10x that by buliding global, decentralized, long-tail digital asset (token) markets.

When you have SOL sitting around, please support the unsung heroes of DeFi, the LP's, by swapping to lpSOL. Why not the other liquid staking tokens?
- Zero commission fees mean lpSOL has very competitive yields (9.4% as of today)
- Rewards sent to our validator will help fund the MET LP Army mission. More stake, more potential rewards
- Significant stake allows the LP Army to offer priority transactions for Meteora or community apps
lpSOL partners with Sanctum and uses their Infinity Pool for deep liquidity with minimal smart contract risk. When you buy lpSOL or create it by natively staking, the SOL gets delegated to our validator which is powered by Sign Labs. Sign takes zero (0) commission fees and zero MEV from Jito tips, so stakers and lpSOL holders get all the rewards.
Sign Labs runs the high performance validator behind lpSOL, contributes regularly to the Solana Tech Discord, and also operates a Testnet node in order to contribute to Anza/Solana core development efforts. The lead administrator, Otto, is fully KYC'd by the Solana Foundation and can be reached on X @ autocatalytic.
Acknowledging our roots in Solana, the Sign Labs logo depicts an "S" in American Sign Language. We love signs and signals.
SSH key authentication, firewalls and standard OS hardening are enabled on the validator. Only the node operator has SSH access to the validator. We run the Jito fork of Anza's validator software, combined with the new priority port from Palladin. No vote mods or custom transaction ordering, and no private order flow deals.
As a staker you maintain custody to your SOL and are free to unstake or redelegate at any time. We never have access to your funds. The validator is being constantly monitored to minimise delinquencies and to maximise staking APY. Validator funds are staked through a multisig wallet with a minimum of one hardware wallet signer.
Sign Labs runs on higher hardware specs than recommended by Solana Foundation, and we have one of the highest performing un-modded validators on the network in terms of vote credits. Sign Labs' validator also earned rewards 40% higher than the median over a 50 epoch sample size (slot 665 to slot 715). Details at Solana Compass
Critical Linux security patches are applied within 24 hours. Standard security updates are performed periodically to keep the node secure. Solana software gets updated on the Anza schedule, and in extremely rare scenarios, if there is risk of getting forked away from the primary chain.
