Staking products for various strategies

JPool offers a variety of liquid staking products to suit different strategies and needs. Choose the one that best aligns with your goals:

  • Smart Staking: effortless staking through our Smart Delegation Strategy (liquid staking only).

  • JStaking: staking with our reliable institutional-grade partner validator (direct liquid staking or native staking).

  • High-Yield Staking: staking through a special strategy with our partner bloXroute (liquid staking with MEV rewards).

  • Flex Staking: staking to validator(s) of choice (direct liquid staking or native staking).

Benefits of liquid staking

Liquid staking means that in return for the SOL you stake, you get JSOL, JPool's liquid staking tokens. They represent your share of the total stake in JPool. As you hold JSOL in your wallet, they constantly grow in value: the amount of your JSOL stays the same, while the JSOL/SOL rate increases every epoch as rewards are accrued on the staked SOL.

JSOL can be used for extra earnings in decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, you can provide JSOL as liquidity to liquidity pools or deposit them to lending platforms to earn additional yield. JSOL holders are also eligible for additional rewards as a members of the JPool Holders Club.

When using JStaking and Flex Staking, you can choose to stake natively to a validator by disabling the GET JSOL (Liquid Staking) toggle. This means your stake will be delegated to this validator, bypassing JPool, and the validator's APY will apply. This APY might be marginally higher compared to JPool, but in this case you won't be eligible for the benefits above.

Smart Staking

Smart Staking is an automated, low-maintenance option for staking SOL. With Smart Staking, you don't need to select or monitor validators yourself. Instead, our Smart Delegation Strategy does it for you. It uses a scoring system to continuously monitor validators in the JPool Delegation Program and and allocate pooled SOL among them.

High-Yield Staking

JPool's High-Yield Staking is a staking product designed to enhance returns through advanced transaction handling. Using bloXroute's Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) and Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS) features, the product allows delegators to capture additional yield.

Maximum Extractable Value (MEV)

MEV is the additional profit obtained by reordering transactions within a block to prioritize those with the highest potential yield. bloXroute’s network provides JPool validators with faster data access, allowing them to efficiently identify and prioritize profitable transactions. The extra rewards gained from these optimizations are then shared with delegators.

Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS)

SWQoS is a prioritization method that allows transactions from larger delegators to be processed more quickly. This increased processing speed raises the chances of capturing profitable MEV opportunities, resulting in higher yields for delegators with larger stakes.
