On Jupiter, staking is direct: the commission is published up front, and every action is signed from your own wallet. is one of the simplest ways to put your crypto to work. By staking your with the Jupiter validator, you turn a static asset into a productive one: your stake earns rewards, and the validator takes a 5% commission on inflation rewards and none on MEV. You can choose native staking, where your SOL stays in a stake account you own, or liquid staking with JupSOL, a token you can use while your SOL stays staked.

​
What is staking?

Staking is a cornerstone of the ecosystem. By delegating SOL to a validator, you help secure the network, and you are rewarded for committing your capital. Jupiter runs its own validator, and Jupiter Stake, at jup.ag/stake, lets you delegate to it. All staking actions are non-custodial and signed from your own wallet.

Rewards and commission

Jupiter’s fee structure is simple:
  • Yield: variable, based on network conditions, validator performance and MEV activity. The Stake page shows an Estimated APY; it is not fixed and not guaranteed.
  • Commission: 5% on inflation rewards, 0% on MEV rewards.
Jupiter keeps 5% of the inflation rewards your stake earns and passes on all of its MEV rewards. With native staking, both are added to your stake account every , with nothing to claim.

Key concepts for staking

  • The cool-down period: staked SOL is not instantly liquid. Native staking follows Solana’s epochs. When you unstake, your stake deactivates at the end of the current epoch, so the wait depends on when you start, and it earns no rewards meanwhile. You then withdraw your SOL from the Manage tab. Activation works the same way: a new stake starts earning at the start of the next epoch.
  • The validator: a validator is a blockchain participant that keeps the network running by processing transactions and producing blocks. If a validator has downtime or performs poorly, its stakers’ rewards for that period can be lower, and this applies to the Jupiter validator too.
If you would rather not wait for the cool-down, Jupiter also offers liquid staking through JupSOL, its liquid staking token. You receive JupSOL in exchange for your SOL and can trade it or use it in at any time while it keeps earning. Besides the validator’s commission, JupSOL carries an extra 5% fee on base staking rewards, split between Sanctum (2.5%) and the Jupiter DAO treasury (2.5%).
