slv-validator

A collection of Ansible playbooks and Jinja2 templates for deploying and managing Solana validators on mainnet or testnet. Solana validators are computers that help run and verify the Solana blockchain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize, deploy, and manage Jito, Agave, Allnodes-Jito, and Firedancer-based Solana validators.
Why use it?
It provides predefined deployment and management files for several validator setups, reducing the need to configure each server manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

slv-validator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SLV Validator Skill

Ansible playbooks and Jinja2 templates for deploying and managing Solana validators (mainnet and testnet).

Supported Validator Types

Type Description
jito Jito MEV client (default for mainnet)
allnodes-jito Allnodes-Jito (jito fork with snapshot/voting/POH/SHA-NI patches)
agave Standard Agave validator
firedancer-agave Firedancer with Agave consensus
firedancer-jito Firedancer with Jito consensus

CLI Command ↔ Playbook Mapping

The slv v CLI commands map directly to these playbooks. {net} = mainnet-validator or testnet-validator.

CLI Command Playbook Description
slv v init (no playbook — interactive prompts) Generate ~/.slv/inventory.<network>.validators.yml
slv v deploy {net}/init.yml Full node initialization and deployment
slv v start {net}/start_node.yml Start validator
slv v stop {net}/stop_node.yml Stop validator
slv v restart {net}/restart_node.yml Graceful restart (agave-validator exit, then systemd)
slv v build:solana {net}/install_solana.yml Build Solana from source (dispatches by validator_type)
slv v install:solana cmn/install_solana.yml Install Solana binary (deprecated, prefer build)
slv v setup:firedancer {net}/setup_firedancer.yml Setup/update Firedancer
slv v update:firedancer {net}/update_firedancer.yml Update Firedancer binary
slv v update:script {net}/update_startup_config.yml Re-render start-validator.sh from template
slv v set:identity {net}/set_identity_key.yml Set validator identity key
slv v set:unstaked {net}/set_unstaked_key.yml Switch to unstaked identity
slv v register:bls (no playbook — solana CLI) Register the BLS pubkey on each vote account (SIMD-0387). Also auto-runs at the end of slv v deploy
slv v get:snapshot {net}/wget_snapshot.yml Download snapshot via aria2c
slv v cleanup cmn/rm_ledger.yml Remove ledger/snapshot files
slv disable pwd-login cmn/disable_pwd_login.yml Disable SSH password authentication
slv v switch {net}/nodowntime_migrate.yml Zero-downtime identity migration (auto-swaps inventory)
slv v list (no playbook) List validators (CLI only)
slv v gen:vote-account (no playbook) Create vote account (solana CLI)

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

slv-validator is a skill published in the GitHub repository ValidatorsDAO/slv (89 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 5,744 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
