# Solstice Staked SOL (solSOL)

## What Is solSOL

solSOL is a **liquid staking token (LST)** representing your staked SOL. When you deposit SOL into the solSOL stake pool, you receive solSOL at \~1:1. solSOL continues accruing staking rewards over time — reflected in its value — while remaining fully tradable and usable across the Solana ecosystem.

* **Earn Staking Rewards** solSOL holders earn native SOL inflation rewards without locking liquidity.
* **Instant Liquidity** trade, transfer, or deploy solSOL in DeFi at any time.
* **Composable Across DeFi** use solSOL as a yield asset across protocols (AMMs, lending, integrations).

solSOL is built on the [**Sanctum**](https://app.sanctum.so/stake/solSOL) **liquid staking infrastructure** — the same system powering many of Solana’s leading LSTs — and backed by Solstice’s validator operations.

#### Benefits of Liquid Staking on Solana

Liquid staking on Solana bridges the gap between *staking rewards* and *DeFi utility*. Traditional staking locks SOL for rewards but sacrifices liquidity; liquid staking mints tokens like solSOL that retain liquidity while capturing rewards, allowing users to participate in DeFi without unstake delays.

## Why Choose solSOL

**Earn Real Yield Without Lockups**\
solSOL accrues staking rewards automatically while staying liquid, giving you both yield and usability.

**Use in DeFi Everywhere**\
solSOL is compatible with Solana’s DeFi ecosystem — trade it, provide liquidity, or use it as collateral.

**Institutional-Grade Backing**\
Built by Solstice and deployed via Sanctum, solSOL combines professional validator performance with robust liquid staking infrastructure.

## Risks & Considerations

* **Smart Contract Risk:** solSOL exposure depends on the underlying stake pool and contracts.
* **Price Dynamics:** solSOL is designed to reflect staking yield via changing value — not a 1:1 peg with SOL — so price versus SOL may vary over time.
* **Liquidity Variability:** Availability of instant redemption depends on market liquidity and pool depth.
