Liquid staking has changed the way users approach staking, offering flexibility without sacrificing rewards – and even improving your yield. While traditional staking locks assets, liquid staking allows users to earn rewards while keeping their assets accessible.

JPool is at the forefront of liquid staking innovation on Solana, offering multiple staking solutions tailored to different types of investors. Below, we break down the three main types of liquid staking and explore how JPool’s staking solutions fit into this evolving landscape.

Types of Liquid Staking: Key Differences

TypeHow It WorksBenefitsDownsides
Native Liquid StakingYou stake directly on the blockchain and receive a liquid staking token (LST) issued by the network itself.Fully decentralized and secure.Sometimes lower adoption, fewer integrations.
Liquid Staking ProtocolsThird-party platforms distribute stakes across validators and issue LSTs.High DeFi compatibility, optimized validator selection.Smart contract risks and reliance on the issuing protocol.
Centralized Liquid StakingCustodial platforms stake assets and issue LSTs.User-friendly, institutional-grade security.You trust a third party to hold your assets, meaning less control.

JPool: The Peak of Staking Satisfaction

JPool is more than just a staking platform — it’s a staking ecosystem built to optimize rewards, increase accessibility, and provide users with unmatched flexibility. Whether you’re looking for high-yield staking, liquid staking, or validator-focused solutions, JPool offers the best of all.

JPool’s Staking Solutions: Which One is Right for You?

JPool provides three staking solutions, each catering to different user needs.

JPool offers three staking options tailored to different investment strategies. Stake SOL and stay liquid with JSOL, unlocking a wide spectrum of DeFi opportunities while continuously earning staking rewards.

Staking TypeKey FeaturesBest For
Liquid StakingA hands-off staking option that automatically distributes stake among top validators. You receive JSOL, which can be used in DeFi while still earning staking rewards – and support Solana’s decentralisation.Passive investors, DeFi users, traders.
Direct StakingAllows users to manually select validators while still receiving JSOL. Ideal for those who want control over their staking strategy while benefiting from liquidity.Experienced investors, those who prefer validator selection.
High-Yield StakingDesigned to maximize your rewards by staking with validators that use MEV strategies for better efficiency. You get JSOL and enjoy higher returns with no extra effort.Long-term stakers, those seeking the highest APY.

1. Liquid Staking: Earn Rewards, Stay Flexible

Liquid staking allows users to stake SOL while maintaining access to liquidity: unlike traditional staking, where your funds are locked, in this case you receive JSOL, tokens JPool issues to represent your ownership of the staked SOL. You can use JSOL in DeFi protocols while still earning staking rewards.

Why Choose Liquid Staking?

  • DeFi compatibility: Use JSOL for lending, borrowing, and trading.
  • No lockups: Your staked SOL can be withdrawn at any time.
  • Continuous rewards: Earn staking rewards while staying liquid.

Liquid Staking is the ideal solution if you want JPool’s smart algorithm to distribute and redistribute your stake between best-performing validators — while you lean back and enjoy your peak returns.

3. High-Yield Staking: Maximizing Rewards with MEV

JPool’s High-Yield Staking takes staking rewards to the next level by integrating MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) optimization. We have partnered with bloXroute to ensure you earn the best possible APY by reaping the benefits of MEV.

How It Works

  1. All SOL delegated through the High-Yield option go to a set of validators running bloXroute’s SWQoS (Stake-Weighted Quality of Service) software.
  2. These validators share their MEV profits with you, making for a hefty APY bonus.
  3. You receive higher staking rewards with no additional effort.
  4. Just like with the standard Liquid Staking option, you receive JSOL to use in DeFi.

Why Choose High-Yield Staking?

  • Higher APY – Earn boosted rewards through MEV integration.
  • Ideal for long-term stakers – Maximize staking rewards over time.
