## Earn revenue by sending Pre Confirmations

If you operate a Solana validator, you can earn revenue by forwarding your pre-confirmation stream to Helius. Helius delivers these scheduled transactions to latency-sensitive consumers through [Pre Confirmations](/pre-confirmations/overview), and shares revenue back with the validators that supply the stream.

    Pre Confirmations coverage scales with participating stake — your
    participation closes gaps for everyone consuming the stream.

## How it works

As your validator schedules transactions, it forwards them to Helius before they are packed into shreds. Helius streams those scheduled transactions to consumers via the [`preconfSubscribe`](/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](/pre-confirmations/overview#coverage) consumers see — so every participating validator improves the product for the whole ecosystem.
