The validator will be a common effort in which both companies work to increase the proportion and share the rewards. Parker White, CIO and COO of the Defi Development Corp. said that the company will expand the Validator infrastructure and SPS (Sol per share), the company’s internal metric.
White said that the Bonk-Community is important for Web3 and that the partnership will enable DFDV to improve the performance of the validators and at the same time work with one of the largest token communities on Solana. This is the first time that a listed company is entering into a partnership with a Memecoin in order to operate a validation node.
SOL participations increase with Treasury First Strategy
As part of his treasury policy, DFDV has recently 16,447 more SOL bought worth $ 2.3 million. As CNF reported, the total stock of Sol increases to 609.190 tokens worth around $ 107 million. These tokens were purchased at an average price of $ 139.66 per unit, which is easily below the current market prices.
This strategy strengthens the SOL Pro share model, a key figure with which it is determined how much should support each DFDV share. According to Defi Development Corp. This structure enables shareholders to participate in the market development of SOL, while the focus remains on the development of the infrastructure.
The bonk validation partnership will increase this key figure through missions and active participation in the infrastructure. The participation of Bonk also brings the Bonksol token into the Staking process and thus creates more commitment channels within the Solana validator ecosystem.
This is a growing trend in digital assets and decentralized infrastructure contributions. The validator is a performance instrument and a way to secure the network.
Bonk goes deeper into the Solana ecosystem
Bonk is one of the most integrated tokens on Solana and is in second place to Sol in terms of ecosystem penetration. It is contained in over 400 DAPP integrations and used on 13 blockchains, which makes it one of the most accessible tokens in Web3.
The token is both a utility and a social asset, whereby the active commitment of the community drives its use. The core team from Bonk saw the participation in validators as the next logical step to deepen its ecosystem presence.
According to NOM, a core employee of Bonk, the Validator initiative is a further development of the way in which community tokens can support the network infrastructure. The partnership represents a new model for token engagement by combining the stacking operated by the community with institutional support.
Despite the announcement of the validator, the course of Bonk fell 4 % on the same day and 8 % during the week. But 70% has still risen for the month, which shows that the owners are still interested.
The partnership follows the recent efforts of Bonk to increase the acceptance of Bonksol and to strengthen Solana’s validation layer. By working with Defi Development Corp. Bonk receives a structured validation platform and drives its mission of decentralization through liquid deposit mechanisms.
This is a new paradigm for cooperation between public companies and decentralized communities. It is an operational framework in which institutional structures and meme tokens can coexist to increase the operations on Solana. The DFDV share Since the announcement, has increased by 30% and by 2,800% since it focused on Solana.
