Overview
solana-stake-monitor
is a utility that scans all transactions to ensure that stake accounts remain in compliance with the following rules:
- The stake account must be created after genesis
- The "compliant balance" of a stake account is set upon stake account initialization, system transfers of additional funds into a compliant stake account are excluded from the "compliant balance"
- The stake account cannot have a lockup or custodian
- Withdrawing funds from the stake account trigger non-compliance
- Stake accounts split from a compliant stake account remain compliant, and the "compliant balance" is adjusted accordingly for the original stake account
