How to join Solana - Tour de Sun 22?
The Tour de Sun 22 (TDS22) was a pivotal node operation initiative spearheaded by the Solana Foundation to enhance the network's geographic and hardware resilience. By running performant Testnet nodes, operators were evaluated for future inclusion in the prestigious Solana Foundation Delegation Program. In a push for robust infrastructure, validators were encouraged to secure approved servers via Edgevana, notably utilizing Solana Pay for seamless hosting settlements - a key feature of the official partnership.
Rather than a fixed grand prize, the incentive model featured a dynamic compensation structure. Eligible operators received a substantial 200% reimbursement of their server costs, distributed as 12-month locked SOL and calculated monthly based on the token's time-weighted average price (TWAP). Additionally, the campaign featured a temporary referral structure that awarded an extra 10 SOL monthly to both the referrer and the new operator, provided both maintained active and performant nodes. The successor program currently limits subsidies to a maximum of $250 per month for up to 6 months.
