What is this

A 30-day contest exclusively for active Node Studio Program validators. The node that brings the most verified Solana stakers to mpSOL & stNEAR wins 5,000,000 Voting Power delegated to their NEAR node for 30 days. The prize generates real yield in NEAR under normal protocol conditions. No cash is distributed.

To be eligible for the prize, a node must bring a minimum of 10 verified referrals. If no node reaches that threshold, no delegation is executed.


Who can participate


How it works

The node brings Solana users to stake in mpSOL & stNEAR through the Meta Pool referral program. Every referral is verified automatically onchain. No manual review. No trust required. The system runs six onchain checks in real time and credits the point to the node instantly if everything passes.

Step 0 — The node posts their participation tweet

Before starting to share their referral link, the node must post the participation message automatically generated by the system upon registration. This tweet allows the Meta Pool team to officially identify and activate your participation in the contest.

Without this tweet, your node will not be considered an active participant.

Step 1 — Node shares their referral link

The node shares their unique Meta Pool referral link with their Solana community. Every person who stakes using that link is a potential verified referral.

Step 2 — Referral completes their stake

The referral joins through the node's referral link and stakes a minimum of $40 USD in mpSOL at sol.metapool.app for 3 points, or a minimum of $40 USD in stNEAR at metapool.app for 1 point.

Step 3 — System verifies onchain automatically
