Solflare Plans Validator Move After Key Incident Pauses Solana Rewards

Solflare plans to move stakers to a new validator after it said its provider reported a security incident involving keys held for the current node, pausing rewards on about 1.56 million Solana (SOL). Solflare said Tuesday, Oct. 27, that delegated SOL remains in each staker’s own stake account, controlled by that user’s keys. The company said validator key holders cannot withdraw stake from a delegator’s account. “No user funds were touched,” Solflare said. At 9:05 a.m. ET (13:05 UTC) Wednesday, Oct.
