| Activation | -based (~2 days) | Immediate |
| Liquidity | Locked; epoch-based unlock (~2 days) | Instant; trade or transfer anytime |
| Rewards | Inflation + MEV, auto-compounded | Inflation + MEV + priority fees, reflected in JupSOL value |
| DeFi composability | Usable as collateral on Jupiter Lend only (via Native Staked Vaults) | Usable across DeFi protocols |
| Commission | 0% | 0% validator commission. 5% epoch fee on base staking rewards (Sanctum infrastructure) |
| Unstaking | ~2 days (epoch-based) | Instant swap or ~2 days via Delayed Unstake |
