Everstake has partnered with Classover, a publicly traded New York-based company and a leading provider of live, interactive online learning. Together, the partners will launch a joint validator node on Solana under the brand name KIDZ by Everstake.
Classover and Everstake will co-manage the new validator, with both parties contributing to the validator stake and sharing in all SOL staking rewards. Leveraging Everstake’s institutional-grade infrastructure and proven validator performance, the initiative is designed to ensure secure, high-uptime participation in the Solana network.
By launching KIDZ by Everstake, Classover seeks to strengthen its position as a public company actively contributing to the infrastructure of blockchain networks while building long-term value through its blockchain-native treasury approach.
“Classover is emerging as a forward-thinking public company with a clear strategic vision for digital asset adoption. Its commitment to SOL and innovative use of validator infrastructure sets them apart as a leading institutional innovator in the ecosystem,” Everstake’s CEO, David Kinitsky, said. “This joint validator initiative with Classover marks an important milestone for Everstake, and we will continue to deepen our collaboration as we help power the next phase of growth on SOL and meet the growing demand for institutional-grade Validator-as-a-Service solutions”.
Thus, Everstake brings profound expertise in SOL validator operations, securing staked assets across the ecosystem with an institutional-grade infrastructure known for reliability, performance, and community alignment, as testified by its SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications and GDPR compliance.
“Everstake is one of the most trusted validator operators in the SOL ecosystem,” said Ms. Luo, CEO of Classover. “This partnership blends operational excellence with capital discipline and serves as a model for how public companies can engage meaningfully in decentralized networks. We believe the “KIDZ by Everstake” validator will eventually represent a significant milestone in our SOL strategy.”
This partnership is aligned with Classover’s broader digital asset strategy, which includes expanding staking revenue, accumulating additional SOL, and increasing its SOL Per Share for shareholders. As one of the first publicly traded companies to operate a branded validator with a top-tier service provider such as Everstake, Classover continues to deepen its integration into the Solana ecosystem.
Everstake is dedicated to the mission of becoming the staking infrastructure partner of choice for forward-looking listed companies. Classover’s decision to run a validator on Solana marks a major milestone, not just for EdTech, but for public companies globally entering Web3 with transparency and control. This partnership highlights the growing demand for institutional-grade Validator-as-a-Service solutions, and we’re excited to lead that evolution.
This joint validator initiative with Classover marks an important milestone for Everstake. The company will continue to deepen its collaboration as it helps power the next phase of growth on SOL and meet the growing demand for institutional-grade Validator-as-a-Service solutions.
