Ping Network is built on top of Solana, using it as the foundation for all critical onchain operations, including token logic, reward distribution, and validator registry updates. To secure its validator layer, Ping integrates Jito (Re)staking, allowing validators to lock liquidity while earning additional rewards. This model supports economic security and enables slashing mechanisms for validators who misbehave or underperform.
As the exclusive Jito (Re)staking VRT provider for Ping NCN, Fragmetric strengthens the Ping Network by helping validate Ping Operators.
Ping NCN
The Ping NCN is a decentralized validation layer that tracks and coordinates the performance of real, globally distributed devices sharing Internet bandwidth. It enables trustless discovery and coordination between nodes and validators:
- Validators publish node’s metadata (IP, uptime, performance) to a Solana-based oracle
- Nodes query this oracle to find available validators
- Nodes then submit signed proofs to validators
What Fragmetric does
- As a VRT provider, Fragmetric performs delegation rebalancing, ensuring that stake is dynamically adjusted based on the performance of node operators who opt into the (re)staking.
- Fragmetric's FRAG-22 standard, leveraging the transfer hook of Solana's Token Extensions, ensures the fair and accurate distribution of Ping NCN rewards to restakers.
Why does this matter
Fragmetric enables infrastructure-native networks like Ping to join onchain validation systems without having to build validator infrastructure from scratch. By connecting to Fragmetric, Ping can:
- Receive stake from external contributors via vaults
- Provide validator performance metrics through its API
- Join the broader modular restaking ecosystem alongside Jito, Switchboard, and more
With uptime, latency, and global distribution at its core, Ping’s infrastructure can now seamlessly participate in programmable staking environments.
Additionally, by (re)staking SOL or LSTs into Fragmetric, users can earn a share of Ping rewards — with 3% of total Ping points continuously distributed to fragSOL holders and around 5 million points accumulated to date. You can find detailed information here.
About Ping Network
Ping Network is the universal bandwidth layer for the Internet. It transforms devices such as smartphones, routers, and edge servers into decentralized nodes. These nodes provide:
- Web scraping and data crawling for AI
- Encrypted VPN traffic routing
- Edge-enabled CDN content delivery
- Decentralized geolocation intelligence
- SLA verification and real-time uptime monitoring
About Fragmetric
Fragmetric began as Solana’s first native liquid (re)staking protocol and evolved into the advanced FRAG-22 asset management standard. This new standard seamlessly integrates multi-asset deposits, precise reward distribution, and modular yield sourcing, empowering both developers and users to efficiently access sophisticated DeFi strategies.
