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 or tradable on swaps. 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 (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 (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.

Staking is one of the earn pillars. Yields/validators vary; verify in-app. Not financial advice.
