    How to Stake with JPool: A Step-by-Step Guide

    Staking is one of the easiest ways to earn passive income on your crypto holdings. By staking your SOL with JPool, you earn staking rewards while also retaining liquidity with JSOL. Whether you’re a new crypto user making your first steps in staking or a seasoned degen looking for better tools, this guide will walk you through staking, earning rewards, and managing your funds efficiently.

    Why Stake with JPool?

    With JPool, you get a secure and decentralized solution with high returns. Unlike traditional staking, JPool offers:

    • Liquid Staking with JSOL: Stay liquid while earning staking rewards.
    • Optimized Validator Selection: Earn higher returns through JPool’s smart delegation strategy and MEV rewards.
    • Instant Unstake Options: Choose between delayed unstaking or instant withdrawals.
    • The Holders Club: Earn additional JPoints for staking and completing quests, unlocking exclusive perks.

    Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process to start staking with JPool.

    How to Stake with JPool: A Step-by-Step Guide

    Step 1: Set up a Solana-compatible wallet

    To stake with JPool, you need a Solana-compatible wallet. If you don’t have one, here are some recommended options:

    • Phantom – User-friendly and widely used for Solana transactions.
    • Solflare – A secure, feature-rich wallet.
    • Backpack – A powerful wallet supporting multiple assets.

    Install it and create a new wallet, make sure you secure your seed phrase, then deposit SOL to get started.

    Step 2: Connect your wallet to JPool

    1. Visit the JPool staking platform: https://app.jpool.one/
    2. Click “Connect Wallet” on the top right corner.
    3. Select your wallet from the list and approve the connection request in your wallet.

    How to connect

    Your wallet is now linked to JPool, allowing you to stake and manage your assets seamlessly.

    Step 3: Choose your staking option

    JPool offers three staking methods depending on your needs:

    Staking TypeBest ForKey Benefits
    Liquid StakingDeFi users & tradersReceive JSOL in exchange for SOL, allowing flexible use in DeFi. JPool’s smart algorithm takes care of distributing your stake for best performance.
    Direct StakingActive investorsMonitor and adjust staking performance in real time to maximize return. Liquid option is available – you can choose to get JSOL while staking.
    High-Yield StakingLong-term stakersEarn maximized rewards from validators that leverage bloXroute’s superior MEV Relays. Choose liquid or non-liquid option.

    Pick the staking option that aligns with your goals.

    Step 4: Select the amount to stake

    1. Enter the amount of SOL you want to stake.
    2. Review your staking details, including estimated rewards.
    3. Click Stake to proceed.

    For any of the three staking types above, a liquid option is available: you receive JSOL tokens equivalent to your staked SOL. JSOL enables you to remain liquid while earning rewards and can be used with a number of DeFi platforms.

    Step 5: Confirm the transaction

    1. Approve the staking transaction in your wallet.
    2. Wait for the transaction confirmation (usually just a few seconds).
    3. Once confirmed, your SOL is successfully staked!

    You will see your staked balance or JSOL balance reflected on the JPool dashboard.

    Earning Rewards: How Staking Rewards Work

    JPool distributes staking rewards at the end of each Solana epoch (approximately every 2–3 days).

    • Rewards are automatically reinvested, compounding your returns.
    • MEV-optimized staking boosts APY by redistributing validator profits.
    • Track your earnings directly from the JPool dashboard.
    • If you’re using High-Yield Staking, remember to manually claim your extra rewards each month.

    Stake for multiple epochs to increase your rewards!

    Unstaking & Withdrawals: Accessing Your Funds

    JPool offers two ways to unstake, depending on your preference:

    Unstake OptionTimeframeFee
    Unstake NowImmediate withdrawalSmall fee applies
    Delayed UnstakeAvailable after epoch completion (from several hours to 2–3 days)Lower fee

    To unstake:

    1. Go to the staking dashboard on JPool.
    2. Select Unstake and choose either Unstake Now or Delayed Unstake.
    3. Confirm the transaction in your wallet and receive your SOL back.

    How to unstake

    If using Liquid Staking or High-Yield Staking, you can simply swap JSOL back to SOL at any time on one of many DeFi platforms that list it.

    Boost Your Staking with the Holders Club

  • Understanding the 3 Types of Liquid Staking and JPool’s Staking Solutions

    Understanding the 3 Types of Liquid Staking and JPool’s Staking Solutions

    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.

    2. Direct Staking: Secure, Non-Custodial, and Flexible

    Direct Staking is designed for users who want control over their staked assets. Select one or more validators, and stake with them: whether you choose to pick top earners, or simple nodes that you believe deserve your support, JPool’s powerful tools and user-friendly interface will help you do it.

    Key Benefits of Direct Staking

    • Select validators manually and flexibly using filters and ranking tools.
    • Ideal for active stakers – perfect for those who frequently adjust their portfolio.

    Monitor and adjust the performance of your SOL in real time to maximize returns – with Direct Staking.

    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.

  • Introducing the New JPool: A Fresh Look at Staking Excellence

    Introducing the New JPool: A Fresh Look at Staking Excellence

    The landscape of crypto staking platforms is constantly evolving, and at JPool, we believe in staying ahead of the curve. That’s why we are excited to introduce JPool’s new design, which is transformed and aimed at making staking even more intuitive and efficient. With an improved user experience, expanded product ecosystem, and cutting-edge tools, JPool is redefining what it means to stake in the Solana ecosystem.

    JPool currently boasts over 1 million SOL in total value locked (TVL), a testament to the trust and confidence placed in our platform by the Solana community.

    What is JPool?

    JPool is more than just a staking platform — it is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to empower users with secure, efficient, and flexible staking solutions. Built on Solana, JPool simplifies staking by providing a seamless experience for both delegators and validators, offering tools that optimize performance, increase earnings, and enhance decentralization.

    An Expanding Ecosystem

    Beyond traditional staking, JPool offers a range of innovative products and tools that add value to the ecosystem:

    • Validator Toolkit – A suite of powerful tools that enable validators to automate and improve the processes of bootstrapping, maintaining, and monitoring Solana validator nodes.
    • JPool Bookkeeper & Analytics – A data-driven platform providing real-time metrics, staking trends, and validator analytics to inform decision-making.
    • The Holders Club – An exclusive loyalty program where you earn JPoints by staking SOL and engaging with DeFi protocols, unlocking additional rewards and perks.

    What Sets JPool Apart?

    In the crowded landscape of new crypto staking platforms, JPool sets itself apart by offering a seamless user experience, top staking returns, and exclusive community benefits through the Holders Club. Here’s what makes JPool different:

    High-Yield Staking

    JPool’s High-Yield Staking leverages MEV optimization to maximize your staking rewards. By collaborating with validators using bloXroute’s SWQoS (Stake-Weighted Quality of Service) solution to capture MEV profits through strategies like arbitrage and transaction prioritization, JPool ensures that these additional earnings are redistributed among stakers rather than being retained solely by validators. This approach boosts APY without requiring any extra effort from users, making it one of the most efficient ways to earn on staked SOL.

    Liquid Staking with JSOL

    Unlike traditional staking, which locks your funds for extended periods, JPool offers liquid staking through JSOL, enabling you to retain flexibility while earning rewards. When you stake SOL, you receive JSOL in return, which can be used in DeFi as liquidity, collateral, or for additional yield opportunities — all while staying staked.

    The Holders Club: Earn More, Unlock Perks

    JPool’s Holders Club is designed for long-term stakers and crypto insiders. By staking SOL and completing various tasks, you accumulate JPoints and attain higher membership tiers. The more JPoints you earn, the greater the rewards and perks you unlock, making staking with JPool more engaging and rewarding — and that’s on top of the high staking APY!

    A Seamless User Experience

    The latest JPool redesign introduces an improved interface, making staking easier and more intuitive: benefit from a smooth and streamlined experience, whether you are managing staking portfolios, tracking rewards, or exploring new DeFi integrations.

    The updated platform ensures that even newcomers can navigate staking effortlessly, while experienced users enjoy enhanced tools for maximizing their returns.

    A Closer Look at the JPool Redesign

    With the latest staking platform redesign, JPool brings a host of improvements aimed at delivering efficiency, transparency, and ease of use.

    Refined UI/UX for a Better Experience

    The new design prioritizes clarity, accessibility, and functionality, ensuring that staking, tracking rewards, and managing assets are more intuitive than ever. The clean interface reduces friction, making it easy for both newcomers and experienced stakers to interact with the platform.

    Accessibility Across Devices

    JPool’s new interface is fully optimized for both desktop and mobile users, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices. Whether at home or on the go, users can stake, track rewards, and manage their assets with ease.

    Why the Redesign Matters

    With the increasing adoption of staking in the crypto space, usability and efficiency are more important than ever. The JPool redesign is not just about aesthetics — it is a fundamental upgrade that makes staking easier and more engaging. By introducing an improved UI, faster performance, and a robust ecosystem, JPool ensures that you get the most out of your staking experience.
