Solana stands out as a living network built for scale and participation. Every transaction strengthens its core, every validator maintains its rhythm, and every staker earn rewards đź’°
Powered by a hybrid system of Proof of Stake and Proof of History, Solana delivers unmatched performance — processing thousands of transactions per second ⚡
By staking $SOL, you become part of the network’s heartbeat ❤️‍🔥
Each epoch (roughly 2–3 days) distributes new rewards automatically to your balance, steadily compounding and increasing your staked SOL as time passes.
And now, with Solana Spot ETFs such as Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL) officially approved, institutions can finally access the same yield and security long enjoyed by on-chain users.
Solana offers two complementary ways to participate in its staking economy:
• Native Staking → Delegate SOL directly to a chosen validator, supporting decentralization while earning up to 8 % APY.
• Liquid Staking → Contribute SOL to stake pools such as BlazeStake, Marinade, or Jito, and receive bSOL, mSOL, or JitoSOL tokens that grow in value each epoch.
Both methods are non-custodial — your SOL always remains under your control.
Native staking rewards commitment and validator choice; liquid staking rewards flexibility and DeFi participation — together they keep Solana’s ecosystem efficient, secure, and decentralized.
Solana’s staking rewards come from a balance of inflation and network fees. While new SOL enters circulation each epoch, 50 % of every transaction fee is burned 🔥, offsetting inflation and gradually reducing the total supply over time.
