Already hold JSOL? Bind it to a validator — it counts as direct stake for DS Matching without new deposit.

Best for

Choose your validator, help it grow via DS Matching.

If it has an active campaign, you will earn incentives.

Already hold JSOL?

Bind it to the validator — no deposit needed.

Key Advantages
  • Earn incentives from validators that run campaigns
  • JSOL Binding — attach existing JSOL to a validator post-factum
  • Supports Direct Stake Matching from JPool

How it works

1. Choose Validator
Browse and select a validator based on APY, commission, and uptime
2. Stake SOL
Deposit SOL directly to your chosen validator through JPool
3. Receive JSOL
Get JSOL while your chosen validator benefits from DS Matching
4. Validator Grows
Your validator receives additional stake from JPool proportional to your direct stake

Risks & Considerations

Single validator exposure: Unlike liquid staking, your stake is delegated to a single validator. If that validator underperforms or goes offline, your rewards may be lower.

Unstake period: Direct staking requires ~2 epochs (~2 days) to unstake, as the SOL needs to be deactivated from the validator.

Validator risk: Validators can change their commission rates or experience downtime. Monitor your chosen validator regularly.

FAQ

When you direct-stake through JPool, the validator receives additional stake from the JPool pool. The matching is proportional — the more direct stake a validator attracts, the more pool stake they receive.

If you already hold JSOL, you can bind it to a validator post-factum. This counts as direct stake for that validator in the DS Matching calculation, without requiring a new deposit.

Yes. You can unbind your JSOL from one validator and bind it to another at any time. The DS Matching will update in the next epoch.
