Overview
solana-stake-monitor is a utility that scans all transactions to ensure that stake accounts remain in compliance with the following rules:
- The stake account must be created after genesis
- The "compliant balance" of a stake account is set upon stake account initialization, system transfers of additional funds into a compliant stake account are excluded from the "compliant balance"
- The stake account cannot have a lockup or custodian
- Withdrawing funds from the stake account trigger non-compliance
- Stake accounts split from a compliant stake account remain compliant, and the "compliant balance" is adjusted accordingly for the original stake account
In terms of solana command-line subcommands:
create-stake-account: Creates a compliant stake account provided the--lockup-date,--lockup-epoch, or--custodianoptions are not specifieddelegate-stake/deactivate-stake/stake-authorize/split-stake: These commands do not affect compliancewithdraw-stake/stake-set-lockup: These commands will cause non-compliancetransfer: Any additional funds transferred aftercreate-stake-accountare excluded from the "compliant balance"
System accounts can also be manually enrolled with the solana-stake-monitor enroll subcommand.
An enrolled system account must always maintain a balance greater than the balance it had at enrollment minus 1 SOL.
