StarSOL Liquid Token

Overview

StarSOL is the liquid staking token issued by StarPool, representing staked SOL and the rewards it accrues. It is designed to unlock the value of staked assets without sacrificing flexibility.

Unlike traditional staking, StarSOL is an SPL token that allows delegators to retain full liquidity. It can be used across Solana’s decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem—enabling trading, lending, and other yield-generating strategies—while continuing to earn staking returns in the background. Its value increases over time through a dynamic exchange rate that reflects the growth of rewards from the underlying validator pool.

Key Features

  • Representation of Staked SOL
    StarSOL is minted when SOL is staked via StarPool, tracking a proportional share of the pooled assets and earned rewards. Its value is represented through a dynamic exchange rate and grows over time as rewards accumulate.
  • Unrestricted Liquidity and Flexible Redemption
    Traditional staking enforces lockups and unbonding periods. With StarSOL and the Unstake Liquid feature, delegators can exit or reposition instantly. Redemption is subject to the pool's protocol fees, ensuring the pool remains sustainable without compromising liquidity.
  • Utility Across DeFi
    StarSOL is a standard SPL token, compatible with decentralised protocols across the Solana ecosystem, enabling participation in lending markets, liquidity pools, and yield farms.
  • Reward Auto-Accrual
    The value of StarSOL increases passively as rewards accumulate and are re-delegated in the underlying validator set.
  • Security & Transparency
    All operations are performed by a secure smart contract developed by the Solana Foundation and are tracked on-chain, providing full visibility into rewards and token supply.
