🥩Stake accounts

What is the "Stake Accounts" tab for?

If you currently have stake accounts in your wallet, the Stake Accounts tab lets you:

1. Instantly convert your stake accounts to liquid staking tokens (LSTs)

2. Unstake your stake accounts to receive SOL, aka Instant Unstake

Note that when you buy LSTs from our Trade tab, you will not get any stake accounts staked to the LST's validator. i.e. You will not see any new stake accounts in the "Stake Accounts" tab.

You simply receive the LST and start earning it's staking yield.

What is a stake account?

In the Solana network, a stake account is created when a wallet stakes natively to a validator. This stake account is the "stake receipt" proving that their funds are staked to a specific validator.

Refer to Solana's official docs here for a technical explanation of stake accounts.

Why would I have stake accounts

You will own stake accounts if you have previously:

1. Staked your SOL directly to a single validator, aka native staking

2. Staked your SOL to a liquid stake pool*

*This is dependent on the stake pool. Some stake pools create stake accounts for every validator in their delegation strategy on your behalf.
