solv was originally developed by Epics DAO as an open-source tool to easily launch Solana validators and RPC nodes, significantly reducing operational overhead.
Currently, solv continues to operate by accessing nodes and modifying settings within them. However, because it depends on the state of remote nodes and adjusts its behavior accordingly, management can become complex.
We’ve been exploring solutions to address this challenge and have released SLV, which improves and strengthens security even further through remote management and keyless operations.
Going forward, we will fully migrate the solv development platform to SLV, enabling complete local configuration management and reproducible remote operations for both RPC and validator nodes.

By using solv, setting up a Solana validator node server becomes much easier. This powerful tool simplifies blockchain operations and allows you to start a Solana validator with just a single command.
By eliminating the complexity of setting up and managing a validator, solv opens the door for more individuals to participate in the blockchain network, making the Solana ecosystem more accessible.
Whether you're an experienced developer or a blockchain enthusiast venturing into the world of validators, solv provides a solution for simple and fast setup.
Dive into the world of Solana, explore the capabilities of solv, and become a part of the blockchain revolution with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.

solv setupWhen you run the solv setup command, a prompt like the following will appear.
Select the network, node type, and either RPC type or validator type.
Example: For an RPC node
Example: For a Validator
For the validator type, you can also set options like commission here.
Once the setup is complete, the snapshot download will automatically begin, and your Solana validator will start 🎊
If the snapshot download doesn't complete, press Ctrl + C to stop,
and then run the solv restart --rm command again.
Starting a new Solana validator can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours. You can check the logs using the following command:
solv logor
solv mm is an alias for the monitor command.
※solv monitor does not work until the snapshot download is complete.
solv setup command has the following options:
