Liquid Staking
The liquid staking providers accessible from Squads.
JitoSOL
Overview
Users can deposit their SOL holdings into Jito stake pool, which lets them earn staking rewards with additional returns for MEV redistribution.
What is JitoSOL
JitoSOL is the first MEV-powered liquid staking derivative on Solana. By exchanging your SOL for JitoSOL you maintain SOL's liquidity and earn yield from staking. That yield receives an additional boost thanks to MEV rewards redistribution.
What is MEV
MEV (Maximum extractable value) - describes profits that accrue to entities producing blocks on a blockchain based on their ability to include, exclude and change the order of transactions in a block.
How to stake with Jito Stake Pool
To stake SOL:
Navigate to the "Staking" tab and select "Liquid" section.
2. Click on the "Jito stake pool" block.
3. Select the amount of SOL you wish to delegate to the pool and click "Deposit" button.
Please note that staking happens in epochs. Each epoch lasts approximately 3 days. If you stake during an ongoing epoch, you will start earning staking rewards after the start of the next epoch.
Your SOL will start the activating period upon the transaction execution and will appear in the vault as JitoSOL. Once the new epoch starts, you will start earning rewards.
How to unstake and withdraw SOL
To unstake JitoSOL, you can either swap it or unstake through the Squads app:
Navigate to the "Treasury" tab, click on the "Swap" icon, choose JitoSOL and the amount you want to swap to, and initiate a transaction.
Or: Click on the "Unstake" button on the "Jito stake pool" block, select the amount you want to unstake, and initiate a transaction.
Your JitoSOL tokens will be successfully unstaked after the transaction is executed.
