Direct stake matching

JPool matches direct delegations (including leveraged ones) 1-for-1, plus you can get another 1-for-1 from SFDP

Direct stake matching

Matching is JPool’s way of amplifying direct delegations to validators in the JPool Delegation Program. For every SOL staked directly to your node through JPool, it supplies an equal 1-for-1 delegation (capped at 20,000 SOL per validator). This also applies to stake multiplied through Leveraged Staking.

If your validator also participates in the Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP), the Foundation provides a second 1-for-1 boost, raising the total uplift to as much as 4× the user’s original stake.

Suppose a delegator stakes 100 SOL with a 2.5x leverage to your validator, creating 250 SOL of direct stake. JPool then matches that 1-for-1, adding 250 SOL and raising the stake to 500 SOL. If the validator also participates in the Solana Foundation Delegation Program, it receives a second 1-for-1 match, bringing the total to 1,000 SOL — 4× the delegator’s original amount.

How to qualify

• Join the JPool Delegation Program (see How to join the JPool Delegation Program). Your node must meet baseline performance, skip-rate and uptime targets that JPool monitors continuously.

• Join the Solana Foundation Delegation Program to unlock the extra match.
