Manual Step-by-Step Operator Guide

For validator operators who prefer running each command manually rather than using the automated script.

STEP 1: INSTALL / UPGRADE AGAVE v4.3.2OFFICIAL ANZA RELEASE

Run the official Agave installer to initialize version 4.3.2:

agave-install init v4.3.2
STEP 2: FUND VOTE ACCOUNT RESERVE (>= 0.8 SOL)SIMD-0326 REQUIREMENT

Under Alpenglow, vote accounts require admission tickets paid each epoch. Transfer at least 0.8 SOL:

solana transfer <VOTE_ACCOUNT_PUBKEY> 0.8 --fee-payer <KEYPAIR>
STEP 3: CONFIGURE BLS12-381 KEYPAIRVOTOR CONSENSUS

Generate and register your BLS key for Votor off-chain aggregate certificates:

agave-keygen new --no-passphrase --outfile ~/.config/solana/bls-keypair.json
STEP 4: RESTART SERVICE & VERIFY GOSSIPSYSTEMD SERVICE

Append --bls-keypair ~/.config/solana/bls-keypair.json to your startup flags and reload systemd:

sudo systemctl restart agave-validator && agave-validator monitor

Why 15% Unready Stake Matters to Traders & Bots

When 15% of validator stake is unready, blocks proposed by un-upgraded leaders will create candidate bank splits. Celor’s drop-in Jito engine evaluates winning forks in 0.50 µs and routes directly to upgraded leaders via QUIC TPU.
