## Earn revenue by sending Preconfirmations

If you operate a Solana validator, you can earn revenue by forwarding your preconfirmation stream to Helius. Helius delivers these transactions to latency-sensitive consumers through [Preconfirmations](https://www.helius.dev/docs/pre-confirmations/overview.md), and shares revenue back with the validators that supply the stream.

## How it works

As your validator executes transactions, it forwards each one to Helius — together with its execution status — before the results are recorded into entries and packed into shreds. Helius streams those transactions to consumers via the [`preconfSubscribe`](https://www.helius.dev/docs/pre-confirmations/preconf-subscribe) WebSocket, and you earn revenue for the stream you provide.

The more stake that forwards to Helius, the fewer [coverage gaps](https://www.helius.dev/docs/pre-confirmations/overview.md#coverage) consumers see — so every participating validator improves the product for the whole ecosystem.

## Start earning

Any validator can join and earn revenue by sending Preconfirmations — there's no gate. Get in touch and the Helius team will get you set up.
