Getting Started
Welcome to JPool! This guide will walk you through everything you need to start staking SOL and earning rewards.
Set up a wallet
To interact with JPool, you need a Solana-compatible wallet. Here are the most popular options:
👻 Phantom
The most popular Solana wallet, available as a browser extension and mobile app.
☀️ Solflare
A dedicated Solana wallet with advanced features, available as a browser extension and mobile app.
Once your wallet is set up, fund it with SOL (you can buy SOL on any major exchange and transfer it to your wallet address).
Choose a staking strategy
JPool offers three staking strategies to suit different needs. Pick the one that aligns with your goals:
💧 Liquid Staking
Effortless staking through our Smart Delegation Strategy.
🎯 Direct Staking
Staking directly to validator(s) of choice.
⚡ Leveraged Staking
Staking with leverage to amplify yield at the cost of increased risk.
Not sure which to pick? Start with Liquid Staking. It's the simplest way to earn rewards.
Extra opportunities
Go beyond staking and explore additional ways to earn and engage with the JPool ecosystem:
💎 Holders Club
A membership community where you farm JPoints by holding JSOL, performing actions, and using boosters to unlock tiers and extra rewards.
🎮 Pumpjack
A fun tap-to-earn game for aspiring oil tycoons, part of the JPool ecosystem.
JSOL tokens and their benefits
When you stake SOL under any strategy, you receive JSOL, JPool's liquid staking token (LST). JSOL represents your share of the total stake in JPool.
While you hold JSOL in your wallet, their value grows as JPool accrues rewards on your stake. This growth is reflected by the APY metric, which stands for Annual Percentage Yield. For example, if you bought 1 JSOL for 1 SOL today and APY in the coming year were 10%, in one year you would be able to redeem 1.1 SOL for the same 1 JSOL.
During staking period, your SOL are locked in your account. However, you can use JSOL for extra earnings in decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, you can provide JSOL as liquidity to liquidity pools or deposit them to lending platforms to earn additional yield.
