Independent validator.
Built with passion.

Hi, I'm Cristina. I've been running SOLGirl as an independent Solana validator since early 2021 — bare metal servers, no shortcuts, just solid infrastructure and a love for decentralization.

About

I'm Cristina, an independent validator operator passionate about blockchain infrastructure and decentralization. I started SOLGirl in early 2021 because I believe that a healthy network needs independent, dedicated operators — not just large institutional players.

Every part of my setup is self-managed: from hardware selection and datacenter relationships to monitoring, security, and upgrades. I take pride in running lean, reliable infrastructure and contributing to network resilience.
