Independent in our decisions.
We configure, monitor and maintain our validator ourselves. Operational responsibility stays with our team.
ABOUT CIRRO
A new perspective
The science behind our name. The conviction behind our work.
A different angle.
Cirro takes its name from cirrus: high clouds formed from ice crystals. In the right conditions, those crystals refract sunlight or moonlight into a halo. A precise interaction between light and structure becomes something you can see across the sky.
That connection between engineering and perspective is the starting point for Cirro. We look closely at how things work, take responsibility for the details and build with the wider network in mind.
The geometry behind the name.
The familiar 22° halo forms as light passes through hexagonal ice crystals. Its angular radius is roughly 22 degrees from the sun or moon—the geometry that inspired the 22 in cirro22.

CIRRUS. ICE. LIGHT.

Conviction, put to work.
We are operators, engineers and users of the network we build on. Solana is our focus, from the validator we manage directly to the products we develop and the businesses we work with.
Useful in what we build.
Clearer staking data, practical validator intelligence and accounting for on-chain businesses. Each product starts with a problem worth solving.
Committed to the network.
Performance, fair participation and long-term thinking guide our work. Our success is tied to a Solana that people can rely on and build upon.
From Guardian to Cirro.
The name has changed; the people and commitment continue. Cirro brings our validator, LST Radar, Folium and Sudo Frens into one family, with room for each product to develop its own identity.
Our two co-founders live and work in South Africa, contributing to a global network through independent operation, engineering and collaboration.
