FAQ
Find answers to the most common questions institutions have about JagPool, validator selection, staking infrastructure, and how we support large-scale delegations.
How safe is JagPool?
JagPool utilizes the Solana native stake pool program to manage all fund operations, ensuring the pool itself has no direct access to your $SOL. The Solana native stake pool program has undergone three independent audits and is regarded as highly secure.

What is a Stake Pool?
Here's what Solana Docs have to say on Stake Pools: This on-chain program pools together SOL to be staked by a manager, allowing SOL holders to stake and earn rewards without managing stakes. Users deposit SOL in exchange for SPL tokens (staking derivatives) that represent their ownership in the stake pool. The pool manager stakes deposited SOL according to their strategy. As stakes earn rewards, the pool and pool tokens grow proportionally in value. Pool token holders can send SPL tokens back to the stake pool to redeem SOL.
What is a jagSOL token?
By delegating your SOL to a Stake Pool, you receive jagSOL tokens in return. These tokens serve as proof of your share in the stake pool and can be exchanged back for SOL at the end of any epoch. Naturally, you'll receive more SOL than you initially staked, as your accumulated APY is added to your original stake over the staking period.
How do I get my rewards?
Your jagSOL represents your share in the pool’s total stake, which grows constantly as rewards are accrued. This reflects in the jagSOL-SOL exchange rate which will be used to calculate the SOL you get back when you unstake. Total jagSOL price growth is equal to the pool’s APY.
Does JagPool ever take custody of my SOL?
No. JagPool is non-custodial and built on Solana’s stake pool program. Your SOL remains in your control, and you can redeem your jagSOL for SOL at any time.
Why would an institution use JagPool over native staking?
JagPool offers liquidity through jagSOL tokens, allowing institutions to access staking rewards while maintaining the ability to use or trade their position. This is ideal for capital efficiency and DeFi participation.
What criteria does JagPool use to choose validators?
JagPool delegates to validators based on performance (APY, skip rate), decentralization impact, and community engagement. This ensures high reliability and aligns with Solana’s decentralization goals.
How does JagPool protect against validator downtime?
By spreading stake across a curated set of high-performance validators, JagPool minimizes risk from downtime. Poorly performing validators are periodically removed from the pool.
Are there fees to stake via JagPool?
JagPool charges a small rewards and withdraw fee to support development and validator incentives. There are no management or deposit fee.
Does JagPool carry smart contract risk?
JagPool relies on the audited and widely adopted Solana stake pool program. While smart contract risk is never zero, the protocol is considered one of the most secure in the Solana ecosystem.
Can JagPool handle large institutional delegations?
Yes. JagPool is built for scalability and supports large volumes of SOL with robust backend infrastructure and validator diversity to meet institutional needs.
How do I recover my SOL in case of a critical failure?
Since SOL is managed on-chain via the Solana stake pool program, your jagSOL can still be redeemed for SOL, even if the JagPool interface is offline, as long as the program is operational.
What organization runs JagPool?
JagPool is developed and maintained by Jaguar Labs, a decentralized team focused on staking infrastructure and ecosystem tools for the Solana network.
