Liquid staking
Keep your SOL earning while it stays liquid — and understand exactly what you are taking on.
What is a liquid staking token?
When you stake SOL natively, it is locked in a stake account. A liquid staking token, or LST, solves that: you deposit SOL into a stake pool and receive a token representing your share. The pool stakes the SOL across validators, and your token slowly becomes worth more SOL as rewards accrue. You can trade it, lend it, or use it as collateral at any time.
The price is supposed to rise
Most Solana LSTs do not pay you extra tokens. Instead, one LST buys more SOL over time. A token trading above 1 SOL is not a premium — it is accumulated rewards.
The risks, plainly
Depeg
The market price can fall below the token's underlying SOL value, especially during volatility or thin liquidity. You may take a loss selling in a hurry.
Pool fees
Stake pools take a management fee on rewards, and sometimes a deposit or withdrawal fee. This is why an LST usually yields a little less than native staking.
Unstake delay
Redeeming directly from the pool for underlying SOL can take an epoch. Instant exits go through a swap, which costs you the spread.
Smart contract risk
You are trusting the pool program and its operators. Native staking has no such dependency.
