# Staking: JupSOL, Native Staking & ASR

Jupiter offers several ways to stake SOL and JUP for yield and governance rewards.

## JupSOL (liquid staking token)

**JupSOL** is Jupiter's **liquid staking token (LST)**: stake SOL, receive JupSOL, and keep a liquid token that accrues staking rewards (its value grows vs SOL) while remaining usable across DeFi — e.g. as collateral on [Lend](lend.md) or tradable on [swaps](swaps-and-aggregation.md). Unstake to redeem SOL. LSTs let you earn validator rewards without locking liquidity.

## Native staking

**Native staking** stakes SOL directly to validators from the Jupiter app (standard Solana delegated staking) — you keep a native stake account and its rewards. Jupiter also supports using **natively staked SOL as collateral** on [Lend](lend.md) (borrow without unstaking — keep earning staking rewards), and native staked vaults.

## ASR (Active Staking Rewards)

**ASR** rewards **JUP** holders who **stake JUP and participate in [governance](jup-token-and-dao.md)** (voting). It aligns the DAO: those who lock JUP and vote earn periodic reward distributions. ASR is the incentive layer behind Jupiter's voting system.

## Choosing

- **JupSOL** — liquid SOL yield you can keep using in DeFi.
- **Native staking** — direct delegation (and collateral via Lend) if you prefer native stake accounts.
- **JUP staking + ASR** — governance participation rewards for the [JUP token](jup-token-and-dao.md).

Staking is one of the [earn pillars](../syntheses/earn-and-yield.md). Yields/validators vary; verify in-app. Not financial advice.
