Using JSOL in DeFi

One of the main benefits of liquid staking is that your stake does not sit idle. While your underlying SOL stays delegated and earning rewards, the JSOL you receive can be used across Solana DeFi.

Why this matters

With traditional staking, SOL is locked in a stake account and cannot be used for anything else until you unstake. Liquid staking removes that trade-off: you keep earning staking rewards through JSOL's growing value while also holding a liquid asset you can deploy elsewhere.

What you can do with JSOL

JSOL is accepted by a range of third-party protocols. Common uses include:

  • Providing JSOL as liquidity in liquidity pools.
  • Depositing JSOL into lending platforms to earn additional yield or to borrow against it.
  • Using JSOL as collateral, including in the Leveraged Staking strategy.

JPool maintains a list of partner opportunities on the DeFi page.

WARNING

Third-party protocols set their own reward terms and carry their own risks, which JPool does not control. Review each protocol's documentation before committing funds.

INFO

JSOL you have deployed in DeFi is still yours, but it is not immediately available to unstake. When part of your JSOL is locked in a protocol, your unstakable amount reflects only the JSOL currently in your wallet.
