Chorus One Joins Pye as a Validator Partner

Chorus One Joins Pye as a Validator Partner

Chorus One is joining Pye as a validator partner and will be listed on the platform as an eligible validator for staking.

Pye is building financial infrastructure for Solana validators, centered around Programmable Stake Accounts (PSAs), a new staking primitive that allows validators to issue stake accounts with configurable reward structures. PSAs turn stake accounts into composable financial objects that can be used across DeFi and trading venues, creating new utility and revenue opportunities for both validators and stakers.

By working closely with experienced validators like Chorus One, we're able to design new staking primitives and DeFi infrastructure grounded in real-world validator operations. We're also excited to share that Chorus One participated in Pye's pre-seed round in early 2025, aligning our long-term incentives from day one.

Through this collaboration, Chorus One will help shape the early development of PSAs while offering new opportunities to its stakers:

• Programmable staking (eg. fixed, variable)
• Early access to stake account trading
• New validator revenue streams, including fees from stake account trading activity
• Participation in early DeFi pilots built on top of programmable stake accounts

As a core validator partner, Chorus One brings deep operational insight into how staking, rewards, and validator economics work in practice. This input is critical as we define how programmable stake accounts and stake trading should function before these markets scale.

Why This Collaboration Matters

Pye is collaborating with a small group of validators, ranging from independent operators to institutional participants, to shape and refine early products and run controlled DeFi pilot programs. While all applicants will be considered, only a limited number of spots are available. Selected partners will gain early access and bonus rewards.

These collaborations allow validators to:

• Provide feedback and validation on PSA design and staking infrastructure
• Participate in early pilots across Pye products
• In the case of stake trading, participate in trials that help inform the microstructure of stake markets

By working directly with validators, Pye ensures that new staking and trading primitives are designed with practical constraints and validator–staker alignment in mind.

What Comes Next

At this stage, Pye's collaboration roadmap with validator partners is focused primarily on stake trading.

As the platform evolves, partners may be invited to participate in stake trading pilots and contribute feedback on market structure and future validator-finance capabilities built on top of stake accounts.
