Community Good
JPool offers a dedicated stake allocation to operators of Community Good validators. These are teams actively building for the Solana ecosystem. 30% of pool stake flows to CG validators, distributed proportionally by their impact score.
You can apply for CG status via the CG application form. The review committee evaluates applications on a regular cycle.
CG scoring criteria
CG scores (1 to 9) are assigned by the JPool review committee based on the validator's ecosystem contribution. Higher score = proportionally more stake from the CG bucket.
| Criteria | Points |
|---|---|
| Base points (monetization) | |
| Non-commercial (no paid services) | 3 |
| Free or freemium (≥50% free users) | 2 |
| Commercial (fee / subscription) | 0 |
| Bonus points (tracks) | |
| DEV | +1 |
| PROJECTS | +1 |
| LIQUIDITY | +1 |
| USERS | +1 |
| Bonus points (other) | |
| Open-source | +1 |
| Free license (MIT, Apache, GPL) | +1 |
| 1K+ MAU | +1 |
| 10K+ MAU | +2 |
| Media coverage (Tier 1 to 2 level) | +2 |
Tracks: a project is assigned to one or several of the following:
- DEV: encouraging developers to build on Solana
- PROJECTS: encouraging projects to expand or port to Solana
- LIQUIDITY: bringing additional liquidity (investments or TVL) to Solana
- USERS: attracting new users to Solana
Example: With 40 CG validators and a total score pool of 120, a validator with score 8 receives roughly 3x more CG stake than a validator with score 3.

All parameters in the table are subject to change. Bonus points may be adjusted at the discretion of the reviewing committee.
