There are several advantages to staking with the Jupiter Validator and holding JupSOL — let’s go through them in this post.
Jupiter would love to work together with anyone interested in delegating to the Jupiter Validator or holding JupSOL.
Why do we care about stake?
Staking with Jupiter significantly improves transaction landing rates on jup.ag, as well as for our partners integrating the Jupiter Terminal on their platform. More stake also means we can continue scaling up and supporting the retail usage of DeFi.
Jupiter Validator
We’ll be working very closely with the team to maintain a highly-optimised validator with a target APY of 8%.
The validator, run by < redacted >, will focus on maintaining:
- 100% uptime
- Staying up to date on Validator upgrades
- 0 downtime during an upgrade
Voting more often can increase your APY. Additionally, the upcoming Timely Vote Credits (TVC) mechanism (described in SIMD-0033) will also reward faster transaction processing with higher vote credits.
JupSOL
By holding JupSOL, you’ll be able to enjoy all the advantages of staking with the Jupiter Validator, along with additional benefits from extremely high block rewards.
Holding JupSOL lets you earn 80% of priority fees from the delegated validators along with 100% of priority fees from the Jupiter Validators. This amounts to an additional 1-2% in APY.
Additional Benefits: API Rate Limits
By staking to us, you are helping us increase the capacity of our APIs, and we are happy to return the favor!
We can help increase rate limits for the sendTransaction API and the Swap API for partners staking with Jupiter.
