🚀 Introducing solana-validator-ha, our open source, gossip-based high availability (HA) manager for Solana validators. While failover and HA tools exist, they either lack true automation or require extra dependencies and infrastructure that can introduce single points of failure and operational complexity. So we set out to build something different, completely leveraging Solana's own network. 🧵

Fresh incentives are live for cgntSOL on Kamino. In collaboration with @Cogent_Crypto, over $30K in monthly rewards are now available for cgntSOL lenders. cgntSOL can be supplied directly or looped with cgntSOL/SOL Multiply, currently reaching up to 75% APY at 7.7x leverage.

@mistermortensen It works like any other liquid staking token :) We offer 0% commission on both inflation rewards and Jito Tips, so you keep 100% of your staking rewards. We super appreciate any stake that comes our way 🤝

@Cogent_Crypto Great. And since you’re the only person I trust in crypto, staking cgntSOL is also a good idea? Long term?

🚨 Attention Cogent Cog Holders! You may have noticed recently that your Cogent Cogs were automatically unstaked. This occurred after Gemworks unfortunately unexpectedly discontinued support for Gemfarm (the program we used for Cog staking). All cogs would have been returned to your wallet that was used to stake from - please check the collectibles/NFT section in your wallet. We’ve since developed our own in-house Gemfarm, and Cog staking went live again on October 13th, 2025. The staking app and interface remain the same — #cog-staking" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cogentcrypto.io/app#cog-staking On November 10th 2025, all Cog rewards accrued from the Cogent validator (covering the period from when Cogs were initially unstaked up to November 10th) will be distributed to all staked cog holders, so make sure to get your cogs staked! After the November 10th payout, Cog rewards will return to a normal distribution cycle. ⚠️ Please verify/claim any unclaimed Cog rewards that you may have from the old gemfarm via the “Claim Old Cog Rewards” tab on the Cogent App. This will be deprecated on January 5th 2026. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we worked through this transition💙
