# Corvus Solana validator (/platform/validator)

> Verify the Corvus Solana validator vote account on a live explorer before delegating SOL, then choose native staking or corvusSOL liquid staking.



The Corvus validator takes part in Solana consensus. You can delegate SOL to its vote account, or hold corvusSOL, the liquid staking token associated with it.

`soLStAck` is a vanity prefix, so match the tail (`…wsdWZ1yrHrz`) against the delegation instruction your wallet is about to sign.

Commission, vote success rate, delinquency, skip rate, active stake and estimated yield all move every epoch, so StakeWiz carries them rather than this page.

## Native delegation and corvusSOL differ at the exit

Native delegation leaves you holding a stake account you own, and both entering and leaving wait for an epoch boundary. corvusSOL is an SPL token instead. You can transfer it and use it wherever a protocol lists it, and you leave by swap or redeem at whatever route and price exist on the day. Holding it puts the liquid staking program and its authorities on top of Solana's stake program.

## Staking and service access

Delegating doesn't buy you capacity. You rent that in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.corvus-labs.io) at the published [plan prices](/platform/pricing), and support is on [Discord](https://discord.gg/corvus-labs).
