# Public vs Whitelabel Validator

Deciding what's best for your business

Figment's [public Solana validator](https://solanabeach.io/validator/CcaHc2L43ZWjwCHART3oZoJvHLAe9hzT2DJNUpBzoTN1) is consistently one of the largest on the network by stake-weight, but there are benefits to having your own validator as well.

# Summary

### Public

* **Speed to market**: No setup required — delegators can start staking immediately by choosing Figment’s public node
* **Performance**: Higher stake-weight can mean higher SRR because the validator gets chosen as a leader more often, and more chances at high MEV blocks

### Whitelabel

* **Branding**: Build trust with your customers by putting your name and logo on the validator, or choose to remain anonymous
* **Reward flow**: Customize onchain commission rates to simplify operations
* **Software**: Customize validator client software to use bleeding edge technology such as Firedancer or DoubleZero
* **Location**: Meet tax or regulatory requirements by choosing where your validator runs

# Reward flow

### Public

* **Inflation**: 93% of gross rewards flow epochly to delegator's stake account and auto-compound. Any remainder is rebated monthly

### Whitelabel, 100% commission

Setting a 100% commission rate is the best way to disincentivize external delegation to your validator but requires rebates from Figment.

All rewards can be swept to your delegating wallet at your chosen cadence and automatically re-delegated from your custodian.

### Whitelabel, 0% commission

0% commission is best for incentivizing external delegation and gives you your rewards more quickly, which helps you compound more frequently via your custodian.
