Solana staking

Stake SOL natively across multiple validators, through Marinade, or into Kamino points, with liquid options for mSOL and (legacy) stSOL.

Stake SOL on Solana through native validator delegation, Marinade’s native staking product, or a liquid-staking token. Native delegation creates one on-chain stake account per validator; liquid rows issue a receipt token instead.

Yields

Yield ID	Staking type	Provider	Validator selection
solana-sol-native-multivalidator-staking	Native	yield.xyz	Required
solana-sol-marinade-native-max-yield-staking	Pooled	Marinade	Not applicable
solana-sol-marinade-staking	Liquid	Marinade	Not applicable
solana-sol-lido-staking	Liquid	Lido	Required (exit only)
solana-kamino-staking	Native	Kamino	Not applicable

The two liquid rows are documented on their DeFi liquid-staking pages: Marinade (mSOL) and Lido (stSOL, exit only). This page covers native, pooled, and KMNO staking.

Native multi-validator staking

Each enter action creates a new stake account and delegates it to the validator you pass in validatorAddress; staking with several validators means one enter action per validator, each producing its own stake account.

Key facts

Network ID	solana
Staked token	SOL
Unbonding	3 days
Warmup	3 days before the position earns rewards
Minimum	Determined at request time from the network’s minimum delegation plus the rent-exempt reserve, not a fixed amount
Rewards	Auto-compounded, updated every epoch

Enter and exit

Enter takes amount and a required validatorAddress (the validator’s vote account). Exit takes amount and the same validatorAddress; it deactivates the matching stake accounts (splitting a stake account when only part of it unstakes) and, once the 3-day unbonding period ends, the balance becomes a withdrawable balance and is claimed with a pending action.

Unstaked SOL is not spendable until you run WITHDRAW (or WITHDRAW_ALL) after unbonding completes.

Managing the position

Action	What it does
WITHDRAW	Withdraws one unstaked stake account back to the available balance
WITHDRAW_ALL	Withdraws every unstaked stake account in a single request
AUTO_SWEEP_UNSTAKE_REWARDS	Unstakes a given amount and, optionally, routes it toward a swap
AUTO_SWEEP_WITHDRAW_REWARDS	Withdraws inactive stake accounts up to a requested amount and can route the result to a receiver address

Marinade Native staking

solana-sol-marinade-native-max-yield-staking stakes SOL through Marinade’s native staking product: no receipt token, no validator argument, Marinade selects and manages the underlying validators. Enter and exit both take only amount, with a minimum resolved dynamically from on-chain state at request time. Exit is followed by a WITHDRAW pending action once Marinade’s unstake ticket matures.

Kamino KMNO staking

solana-kamino-staking stakes KMNO to earn Kamino points; it has no cooldown or warmup period. This yield pays no token rewards: rewards are points-based only, per the integration’s own description. Enter and exit take only amount (minimum 0); there is no validator argument. A single AUTO_SWEEP_WITHDRAW_REWARDS pending action is available.
