[](#benefits-of-liquid-staking) Benefits of liquid staking --------------------------------------------------------------- Liquid staking means that in return for the SOL you stake, you get JSOL, JPool's liquid staking tokens. They represent your share of the total stake in JPool. As you hold JSOL in your wallet, they constantly grow in value: the amount of your JSOL stays the same, while the JSOL/SOL rate increases every epoch as rewards are accrued on the staked SOL. JSOL can be used for extra earnings in [decentralized finance (DeFi)](/user-guide/how-to-use-jsol-in-defi) . For example, you can provide JSOL as liquidity to liquidity pools or deposit them to lending platforms to earn additional yield. JSOL holders are also eligible for additional rewards as a members of the [JPool Holders Club](/about-jpool/holders-club) . When using Direct Staking, you can choose to stake natively to a validator. This means your stake will be delegated to this validator, bypassing JPool, and the validator's APY will apply. This APY might be marginally higher compared to JPool, but in this case you won't be eligible for the benefits above. [](#liquid-staking) Liquid Staking --------------------------------------- Liquid Staking is an automated, low-maintenance option for staking SOL. With Liquid Staking, you don't need to select or monitor validators yourself. Instead, our [Smart Delegation Strategy](/technical-details/smart-strategy) does it for you. It uses a [scoring system](/technical-details/smart-strategy/validator-scoring-system) to continuously monitor validators in the [JPool Delegation Program](/technical-details/smart-strategy) and and allocate pooled SOL among them. 📖➡️ [Learn how to stake with Liquid Staking](/user-guide/how-to-stake#liquid-staking) 💰➡️ [Stake with Liquid Staking](https://app.jpool.one/) [](#high-yield-staking) High-Yield Staking ----------------------------------------------- JPool's High-Yield Staking is a staking product designed to enhance returns through advanced transaction handling. Using [bloXroute](https://bloxroute.com/) 's Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) and Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS) features, the product allows delegators to capture additional yield. ### [](#maximum-extractable-value-mev) Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) MEV is the additional profit obtained by reordering transactions within a block to prioritize those with the highest potential yield. bloXroute’s network provides JPool validators with faster data access, allowing them to efficiently identify and prioritize profitable transactions. The extra rewards gained from these optimizations are then shared with delegators. ### [](#stake-weighted-quality-of-service-swqos) Stake-Weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS) SWQoS is a prioritization method that allows transactions from larger delegators to be processed more quickly. This increased processing speed raises the chances of capturing profitable MEV opportunities, resulting in higher yields for delegators with larger stakes. 📖➡️ [Learn how to stake with High-Yield Staking](/user-guide/how-to-stake#high-yield-staking) 💰➡️ [Stake with High-Yield Staking](https://app.jpool.one/high-yield) For more details on this integration, refer to [JPool x bloXroute Integration: Unlocking High-Yield Staking Opportunities](https://bloxroute.com/pulse/jpool-x-bloxroute-integration-unlocking-high-yield-staking-opportunities/) .

[Validator scoring system](/technical-details/smart-strategy/validator-scoring-system) [Extra stake for Community Good validators](/technical-details/smart-strategy/community-good) --- # Validator scoring system | JPool SOL The scoring system is subject to change. Please [contact us](mailto:info@jpool.one) for an up-to-date version. The Smart Delegation Strategy distributes the score-based stake among validators in proportion to their scores, which are impacted mostly by the validators' APY and stake concentration rates. In addition, the scoring system takes into account the [validators.app score](https://www.validators.app/faq#score) and whether a validator is operated using [Smart Validator Toolkit (SVT)](https://svt.one/) . For each of the metrics from 1 through 7 in the table below, all possible values across all validators are aggregated into 10 scores of equal value, and the validator receives a score based on its current actual value. ### [](#example) Example Your validator runs in a data center that hosts several nodes with a total stake of 1M SOL. The data center with the lowest concentration rate has 500K SOL of stake, and the one with the highest concentration houses validators with the total stake of 4.5M SOL. The range of stake values is from 500,000 to 4,500,000 SOL. It's divided into 10 scores, each equal to 400,000 SOL. Your data center gets a score of **2** (**0.5** adjusted for weight). [](#metrics-table) Metrics table ------------------------------------- # Metric Min Max Weight 1 ASN concentration score\* 1 10 0.25 2 Data center concentration score\* 1 10 0.25 3 Country concentration score\* 1 10 0.25 4 City concentration score\* 1 10 0.25 5 Current APY score\*\* 1 10 0.33 6 Avg APY score for 3 epochs\*\* 1 10 0.33 7 Avg APY score for 10 epochs\*\* 1 10 0.33 8 Validators.app score 1 11 1 9 SVT\*\*\* 0 2 4 **Total, adjusted for weight** **3** **39** — \* _Validator nodes run on servers in data centers. The more stake a group of validators in a single data center attracts from delegators, the higher the concentration of stake in this specific data center. High rates of stake concentration are bad for Solana's health because they bring down the network's decentralization, which can create a point of failure. This is why stake concentration is an important metric to be taken into account._ \*\* _Solana's Top 300 validators are used to determine reference points: the highest APY among all validators is used as a maximum reference point, and 300th validator's APY provides the minimum reference point. This applies to the scores of the current APY, APY for 3 epochs, and APY for 10 epochs._ \*\*\* _Validators running sv-manager receive 1 point; validators running SVT receive 2 points._ If you are running a validator or plan to bootstrap one, check out [SVT](https://svt.one) .

First, validators are filtered to the top 500 by their yield over the previous 10 epochs (apy10). Validators within this set are then ranked based on Community Good and early adoption scores. Validators with higher scores are ranked higher. If multiple validators have identical scores, priority is assigned first to validators with an earlier creation timestamp, and then, if needed, to those with higher apy10. Finally, validators ranked in the top 200 according to this membership rank are selected for inclusion in the JPool liquid staking pool. [](#suspicious-status) Suspicious status --------------------------------------------- If a validator is flagged as _suspicious_, **its stake is cut by 50%**. The suspicious status is assigned if _any_ of the following occurs: * Raises its commission by a threshold value within one epoch (currently **3%**). * Cumulative commission increases over a certain period exceed a threshold value (currently **3%** over **20 days**).\* * APY drops by over MaxAPYdrop compared to previous epoch (currently **20%**). * Percentage of low-latency votes falls into Proof 2 range of the Gaussian distribution.\*\* * [Validatos.app](https://www.validators.app/) sends a warning _Suspicious activity with vote accounts_. * Validator removes its published name or logo. \* _Commission decresases are not taken into account. This check is in place to prevent validators from temporarily raising their commission at the end of an epoch to steal their delegators' rewards._ \*\* _Basically, this weeds out validators tampering with code to vote after the correct block has already been decided upon by others._ [](#poor-performer-status) Poor performer status ----------------------------------------------------- If a validator is flagged as a _poor performer_, **its stake is cut by 50%**. The poor performer status is assigned to validators that meet [Stakeview's poor performance criteria](https://stakeview.app/poor.html) . [PreviousSmart Delegation Strategy](/technical-details/smart-strategy) [NextStake distribution](/technical-details/smart-strategy/stake-distribution) Last updated 23 hours ago --- # Smart Delegation Strategy | JPool SOL JPool's Smart Delegation Strategy is continuously monitoring validators against a set of metrics to check if they meet the criteria for inclusion to or removal from the JPool Delegation Program. Every epoch, the Strategy updates the list of validators in the Program and [redistributes](/technical-details/smart-strategy/stake-distribution) JPool's stake among those that are currently included in it. [PreviousHow to join the JPool Delegation Program](/for-validator-operators/how-to-join-jpool-delegation-program) [NextInclusion and removal criteria](/technical-details/smart-strategy/inclusion-and-removal-criteria) Last updated 2 months ago --- # FAQ | JPool SOL [](#jpool) JPool --------------------- ### [](#how-safe-is-jpool) How safe is JPool? JPool is using Solana Foundation's Stake Pool Program for all operation with the funds. JPool has no access to your SOL whatsoever. Solana Foundation's Program has undergone several audits and is considered as secure as humanly possible. Check out these [audit reports](https://spl.solana.com/stake-pool#security-audits) . ### [](#what-is-a-jsol-token) What is a JSOL token? When you delegate your SOL to JPool, you get JSOL in return, which are JPool's liquid staking tokens (LST). They represent your share in JPool's total stake, which grows constantly as rewards from Solana are accrued. This reflects in the JSOL-SOL exchange rate which will be used to calculate the SOL you get back when you unstake. Total JSOL price growth is equal to the pool’s APY. ### [](#how-do-i-get-my-rewards) How do I get my rewards? Since JSOL's value grows against the SOL price as Solana accrues its rewards to JPool, you can get your rewards by trading back your JSOL for SOL at the end of any epoch. This action is called "unstaking." Follow the steps in [How to unstake](/user-guide/how-to-unstake) to get your rewards. ### [](#what-is-native-staking) What is native staking? In the context of JPool, native staking refers to staking natively to a validator, bypassing JPool. In this case, a new stake account is created and added to your stake account list, where you can [manage](/user-guide/how-to-manage-stake-accounts) it. When you stake natively, the APY of this specific validator applies to your stake. It might be marginally higher than what JPool has to offer but in this case you become ineligible for the [benefits of liquid staking](/about-jpool/products#benefits-of-liquid-staking) . [](#staking-101) Staking 101 --------------------------------- ### [](#what-is-staking) What is staking? By staking your SOL tokens, you help secure the network while [earning rewards](https://docs.solana.com/implemented-proposals/staking-rewards) . You can stake by delegating your tokens to validators who process transactions and run the Solana network. Read more at [https://docs.solana.com/staking](https://docs.solana.com/staking) . ### [](#what-is-a-stake-pool) What is a stake pool? To put it short, you have all the advantages of staking at top performance – without the fuss of selecting and carefully watching the validator(s) you stake with. Plus, you help improve the Solana network, which increases the value of your SOL! Here's what Solana docs have to say about stake pools: "This on-chain program pools together SOL to be staked by a manager, allowing SOL holders to stake and earn rewards without managing stakes. Users deposit SOL in exchange for SPL tokens (staking derivatives) that represent their ownership in the stake pool. The pool manager stakes deposited SOL according to their strategy, perhaps using a variant of an auto-delegation bot as described above. As stakes earn rewards, the pool and pool tokens grow proportionally in value. Finally, pool token holders can send SPL tokens back to the stake pool to redeem SOL, thereby participating in decentralization with much less work required." ### [](#what-is-a-validator) What is a validator? For the Solana network to be fast, efficient, and censorship-resistant, it requires a number of independent validator nodes (or simply validators). Validators participate in adding new blocks to the blockchain. The Solana network is using the **Proof-of-Stake model**. This means that each validator, in order to perform its crucial functions, needs to hold a so-called stake, in other words SOL delegated by other people. The stake is used to vote on each new block. ### [](#who-is-a-delegator) Who is a delegator? Any user who delegates their SOL to a validator (either directly or via a [stake pool](https://app.jpool.one/) ), enabling them to validate new blocks and keep the network alive, becomes a delegator. Anyone who has some SOL in their wallet may delegate it – and earn rewards by doing so. ### [](#what-is-a-stake-account) What is a stake account? A stake account is a Solana account designed specifically for delegation purposes. It holds your SOL tokens and is delegated to a validator when you stake them. In most cases, JPool handles stake accounts under the hood. The only time you can see them is when you [stake natively](/additional-information/faq#what-is-native-staking) . In this case, your stake account is delegated to a specific validator, bypassing JPool, and added to your stake account list, where you can manage it. For details, read [How to manage stake accounts](/user-guide/how-to-manage-stake-accounts) . For additional information about stake accounts, refer to the [official Solana docs](https://solana.com/docs/economics/staking/stake-accounts) .

More specifically, Tokens are dematerialized assets constituted and existing as entries on a public, permissioned or other digital, distributed ledger only. The relevant distributed ledgers themselves and any data stored therein, including without limitation the Token as such or any references thereto, are, unless explicitly specified otherwise in relevant documentation, not operated nor controlled by the JPool and therefore outside of the sphere of influence of JPool. [](#id-1.-technology-risks) 1\. Technology risks ----------------------------------------------------- Risks of Tokens stemming from or relating to the specific use of technology may include, without limitation: * **Risk of Tokens existing on a distributed ledger only**: Unless explicitly specified otherwise, the distributed ledgers by which and on which Tokens exist are outside of the sphere of influence of the JPool. Tokens can be exposed to events specific to the relevant distributed ledger such as hard or soft forks in a blockchain which may inter alia lead to the creation of new or competing digital assets, adversely affect the functionality, convertibility or transferability or result in a full or partial loss of units or reduction (including reduction to zero) of value of the Tokens. * **Risk of irreversibility of transactions/faulty instructions**: Base layer transactions on a blockchain or other distributed ledger are irreversible and final and the history of transactions is computationally impractical to modify. As a consequence, if the User initiates or requests a transfer of Tokens using an incorrect digital ledger address, it will be impossible to identify the recipient and reverse the defective transaction. * **Risk of delayed execution**: The execution of transactions in Tokens on a blockchain or other distributed ledger is subject to verification and other processes involving multiple third party actors/nodes using evolving technology. This may result in significant waiting periods and delays during which the User may be precluded from disposing over the relevant Tokens while their value may fluctuate significantly or which may otherwise result in loss or damages. * **Risk of security weaknesses within the underlying code or technology**: There is a risk that developers or other third parties may voluntarily or involuntarily introduce weaknesses or errors into the underlying code or technology of a Token, which may be exploited in various types of attacks. Successful attacks (or the perception of a technological weakness) might adversely affect the functionality, convertibility or transferability or result in a full or partial loss of units or reduction (including reduction to zero) of value of the Tokens. * **Risk of exploitable breakthroughs in the field of cryptography, e.g. development of quantum computers**: The state-of-the-art in cryptography, including digital encryption, may evolve over time. Advances in code decryption techniques and technical advances (including with regard to the computing power required to deploy such techniques) could pose risks to the security of Tokens and, if exploited, may lead to the theft, loss of units or reduction in value (including reduction to zero) of the Tokens. * **Risks inherent to consensus mechanisms and concentration risk**: DLT may be contingent on independent validators or other forms of consensus formation or validation susceptible to external attacks. Potential attacks include e.g. collision attacks, 51% attacks, dusting attacks and censorship attacks. If successful, such attacks may e.g. enable a perpetrator to take control of Tokens, engage in double spending of the same Tokens and/or otherwise abuse the identity or personal data of other users. Furthermore, any such attack may adversely affect the functionality, convertibility or transferability or result in a full or partial loss of units or reduction (including reduction to zero) of value of the Tokens. The risk of a successful attack is elevated in digital assets based on DLT architecture with a high degree of concentration of unit ownership or network functions with a small number of parties. [](#id-2.-legal-and-regulatory-risks) 2\. Legal and regulatory risks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Risks of Tokens relating to the legal and regulatory environment may include, without limitation: * **Risk of non-compliance or change of legal and regulatory framework**: The legal and regulatory framework governing Tokens is far from settled and continuously evolving. Existing laws and regulations, changes to the legal and regulatory framework and related measures by regulators or other governmental authorities may affect the compliant issuance, domestic and international tradability and transferability or convertibility of the Tokens and may potentially result in a full or partial loss of units or reduction of value (including reduction to zero) thereof. * **Risk of supervisory measures in one or more jurisdictions**: Tokens, JPool or other involved parties, financial and other service providers may become subject to regulatory investigations, injunctions or other measures which may potentially result in a full or partial loss or reduction of value of the Tokens, impact the ability to offer Tokens or otherwise affect the user. Further, such measures may impede, restrict or prohibit the user from holding or transacting Tokens. * **Risk of seizure of digital assets**: The technology underlying Tokens enables thorough forensic investigations that may be able to reach back and cover a period of time and number of transactions that would not be possible with similar effort in the context of traditional assets. Depending on the individual case, such forensic investigations could cover a period reaching back to the generation of the relevant Tokens. As a result, the Token may be subject to a risk of seizure by courts or governmental authorities where they have been previously used for or in connection with criminal activities or may otherwise be considered “tainted”. * **Risk of legal ineffectiveness of tokenization or transfer of tokenized rights**: As the Tokens represent staked assets, the legal effectiveness of such construct may be subject to differing rules in the potentially relevant jurisdictions, including in particular the jurisdiction of the JPool or the user. There is a risk that tokenization of the supposedly underlying rights and/or the transfer of such rights and obligations by transfer of a Tokens may not be legally effective and that, consequently, the Token does not constitute ownership and may result in a full or partial loss of rights or reduction of value (including reduction to zero) thereof. * **JPool cannot be held liable for any differing classification** by authorities or other competent third parties in any jurisdiction at any given point in time, which may result in differing rights of the user in respect of his Tokens in various jurisdictions over time. These may include legal and regulatory duties, tax obligations or other requirements, non-compliance with which may result in measures and sanctions including criminal liability, or which may otherwise affect the legal position of the Token or the value, transferability or convertibility of the relevant Tokens. [](#id-3.-market-risks) 3\. Market risks --------------------------------------------- Risks of Tokens relating to the relevant markets, trading platforms and systems may include, without limitation: * **Markets in Tokens are evolving**: The markets in Tokens are evolving and may be subject to elevated volatility and limited transparency and reliability, execution delays or failures, all of which may potentially result in losses or other adverse effects for the user. * **Limited regulation**: Trading platforms and systems for Tokens and their participants may be unregulated or subject to limited regulation and may not provide for the same or similar safeguards as would apply in traditional financial markets, including with respect to market manipulation or insider trading. All of these inherent particularities may potentially result in losses or other adverse effects for the user. * **Delays in execution or settlement of transactions in Tokens**: Execution and settlement of transactions of Tokens may be dependent on particularities of the relevant distributed ledger or on the participation of third parties on the relevant network, in particular on the availability of miners or other processing entities. Delays or failures to execute or settle transactions may potentially result in losses or other adverse effects for the user. * **Valuation risk of Tokens in particular**: The Tokens are linked to staked assets traded on a regulated market and may be subject to elevated volatility.

[](#id-4.-services-overview) **4\. Services overview** ----------------------------------------------------------- JPool provides technical interface for staking of SOL on the Solana networkproviding users with the ability to receive staking rewards. By staking SOL, you can choose to receive JSOL tokens (hereinafter also “**JSOL**” and “**Token**”), which represent your staked assets and can be used across various decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Staking Mechanics: * Once you stake SOL, JSOL tokens are issued to your connected wallet based on the current staking ratio. * Unstaking is available at any time through the platform, subject to liquidity and transaction fees. When unstaking, JSOL is converted back to SOL, with the transaction time dependent on network conditions. JPool offers an exclusive membership program called the JPool Holders Club, which rewards users for their participation and engagement in the JPool ecosystem. Membership in the Holders Club is represented by a unique NFT powered by the Albus Protocol, which serves as a membership card. By holding JSOL and participating in JPool’s staking activities, users can earn JPoints—a reward point system that provides the following benefits: * **Earning JPoints:** Users can accumulate JPoints through various activities, including holding JSOL, completing social quests, referring others to JPool, and engaging with JPool’s DeFi partners. * **Membership tiers**: The JPool Holders Club offers different membership tiers that provide increasing levels of rewards. Users can advance through tiers based on the number of JPoints they earn. * **Boosters** are multipliers that increase your base JPoints earnings in the JPool Holders Club. They can be earned by participating in specific staking activities or engaging with JPool’s DeFi partners, allowing you to accumulate JPoints at an accelerated rate. * **Referral Program**: The Referral Program rewards users with additional JPoints for bringing new participants to the platform. Users earn JPoints for each successful referral who joins and engages with the JPool ecosystem. **Disclaimer:** While JPool facilitates staking and rewards through the Solana network, we cannot guarantee or control the exact rewards generated from staking, as they depend on network conditions. The value of SOL and JSOL may fluctuate due to market forces, and JPool assumes no responsibility for price changes or potential losses. [](#id-5.-fees-and-transactions) **5\.
