How scoring works →Summary
BlazeStake, operated by the pseudonymous SolBlaze team, is a non-custodial Solana liquid staking protocol that issues bSOL against SOL delegated across 200+ validators. It runs on Solana Labs' audited stake-pool program, discloses eight third-party audits of that shared program, and is described by its own documentation as governed by an ecosystem multisig overseen by the Solana Foundation, though the composition of that multisig and specifics of admin-key controls are not publicly itemized in available sources. No hacks, exploits, or regulatory actions against BlazeStake specifically have been found. The most material adverse event on record remains the April 2024 public dispute with MarginFi over reward-token distribution, which was reportedly resolved; a March 2026 joint SEC/CFTC statement classifying liquid staking as generally non-securities activity reduces regulatory tail risk for the category as a whole.
