Balanced Liquid Staking

Balanced Liquid Staking is the simplest, lowest maintenance way to stake SOL on JPool. You do not select or monitor validators yourself. Instead, JPool's Smart Delegation Strategy allocates your stake for you, continuously monitoring validators in the JPool Delegation Program using a ranking system and redistributing pooled SOL among them.

In return for your deposit you receive JSOL, which stays liquid and keeps earning. This strategy suits anyone who wants passive rewards without managing anything.

How to stake

Connect your wallet

Connect your Solana wallet and make sure it holds a little more SOL than you plan to stake, so the Solana network fee is covered.

Enter an amount

Enter the amount of SOL to stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Receive JSOL

Your SOL is delegated to JPool, which allocates it through the Smart Delegation Strategy. You receive JSOL in return, unlocking the benefits of liquid staking.

Your JSOL now grows in value as rewards accrue, and you can put it to work in DeFi while it does.

How to unstake

When you want SOL back, you exchange JSOL for it. JPool offers two options, described in How rewards accrue:

• Instant unstaking returns your SOL right away for a higher fee.
• Delayed unstaking waits until the end of the current epoch and returns your SOL for a lower fee.

Enter the amount of JSOL to convert, choose instant or delayed, and confirm in your wallet. Your SOL arrives shortly afterward or at the end of the epoch, depending on the option you chose.

INFO

If part of your JSOL is deployed in DeFi, only the JSOL currently in your wallet counts toward your unstakable amount. Solana charges a small network fee on unstaking, and a JPool fee may apply. Current fees are on the pool info page.

You can review your active positions and rewards at any time in your Portfolio.
