Staking

Staking lets you earn native yield on your SOL. You can mint LST through the stake pool or delegate SOL directly to a Project 0 validator. Both options are available from a single interface at /stake, alongside a unified table that tracks all your staking positions.

How It Works

There are two ways to stake:

• LST: Mint LST by depositing SOL into the stake pool. LST is a liquid staking token that accrues staking rewards automatically. You can hold it in your wallet, supply it as lending collateral on Project 0 to earn additional yield, or swap it back to SOL at any time.
• Native Validator Staking: Delegate SOL directly to a Project 0 validator (Meridian or Horizon). Your SOL is locked in a stake account and earns inflation rewards. Unstaking requires waiting until the end of the current epoch.

Staking

Use the action box on the stake page to deposit into the LST Pool or delegate to a specific validator. You can stake using any token in your wallet — if you pick something other than SOL, it is automatically swapped to SOL before staking. The preview shows your estimated output, annual yield, and any swap details.

Unstaking

• Instant unstake (LST): Swap LST back to SOL. Immediate liquidity.
• Delayed unstake (LST): Withdraw through the stake pool. SOL becomes available at the end of the current epoch. No swap fees.
• Native unstake: Deactivate an active stake account (fully or partially). SOL becomes available at the end of the current epoch.

Once a stake account is inactive, you can withdraw the SOL back to your wallet.

Stake Accounts

The table below the action box shows all your staking positions in one place: LST held in your wallet, LST deposited as lending collateral, and native stake accounts delegated to validators. Each row shows the relevant APY, SOL equivalent, and available actions like unstaking, depositing, or withdrawing.

Native stake accounts go through a lifecycle — activating, active, deactivating, inactive — and the table surfaces inactive accounts first so you can withdraw them quickly.

APY Chart

The bar chart at the top of the page shows historical LST APY over time. You can switch between 1-week and 1-month intervals. The current live APY is shown in the chart header.

FAQ

What is LST?

LST is a liquid staking token backed by SOL staked across Project 0 validators. It accrues staking rewards automatically, the SOL value of 1 LST increases over time. You can hold it, trade it, or use it as collateral on Project 0.

Can I stake with tokens other than SOL?

Yes. Select any token from your wallet in the action box. It will be swapped to SOL before staking. The preview shows the swap route, price impact, and fees.

How long does unstaking take?

Instant unstake is immediate. Delayed unstake and native deactivation require waiting until the end of the current epoch. The epoch countdown is shown in the stake accounts table so you know exactly when your SOL will be available.

Can I earn extra yield on my LST?

Yes. After minting LST, you can deposit it as lending collateral on Project 0. This earns you both staking yield and lending yield simultaneously. Use the Deposit button on the LST wallet row in the table.

What happens if I partially deactivate a stake account?

The stake account is split into two: one stays active with the remaining balance, and one is deactivated with the amount you chose. The deactivated portion becomes withdrawable at the end of the epoch.
