Solflare’s validator had its signing keys compromised. Delegated stake is unaffected.
Stake accounts are controlled by stakers’ own keys, not the validator’s, so the compromise can’t touch funds. ~1.56M SOL staked through the node stays safe; rewards are paused until it migrates.
Rewards resume once that stake moves to Solflare’s new validator via an app update.
@solflare says it plans to compensate stakers who migrate.
Update on Solflare SOL staking
Our staking provider has notified us of a security incident on their side, affecting the keys they hold for the Solflare validator. They are investigating. As a result, the Solflare validator is currently not producing rewards.
Your SOL is safe. Delegated stake sits in your own stake account and is controlled by your keys alone; the Solana protocol does not allow a validator, or anyone holding its keys, to move it. No user funds were touched.
We're moving to a new Solflare validator, which means your stake will need to move too. No action is needed now: an upcoming app update will give you a secure, guided path to the new validator, and we'll post here the moment it's live. Rewards are paused until your stake is active on the new validator, and we're working on a compensation plan for everyone who migrates.
Migration will only happen through the Solflare app. We will never DM you or send you a link. We'll keep you posted.
