Solana’s low fees and high scalability make it the preferred proof-of-stake blockchain for the masses, driving competition in the liquid staking sector. This is where JPool, a dynamic, user-centric liquid staking ecosystem, addresses the issues that many leading protocols missed.
JPool underwent a major rebrand, revamping its identity and website with a more intuitive interface to potentially become a leader in the liquid staking sector on the Solana network. The redesign isn’t just cosmetic — it reflects a broader vision to make staking transparent and more rewarding for both institutions and retail users.
The Inevitable Rise of Liquid Staking
The liquid staking sector has recorded an impressive run over the past four years — with its total value locked rising from around $450 million in March 2021 to $41 billion as of March 26, 2025, according to data from DefiLlama. Data shows that the ecosystem’s TVL even surpassed the $71 billion mark in January this year.
Moreover, the liquid staking TVL on the Solana blockchain reached $11.7 billion in late January and is still hovering above the $7 billion zone, per DefiLlama. At the same time, JPool currently has a $160 million share in the Solana liquid staking ecosystem.
The reason why many liquid staking protocols are leading across many blockchains — like Ethereum, Solana, and Base, to name a few — is that the game-changing staking mechanism allows decentralized finance users to earn rewards off of their staked assets while maintaining liquidity.
For example, users can stake Solana on JPool and receive JSOL — the protocol’s derivative token — and be able to use their JSOL on the protocol’s partner DeFi platforms. JPool has already joined forces with some of the leading Solana-based DeFi protocols like Raydium, Orca, Saber, Meteora, and Save Finance. This allows users to earn more via their JSOL holdings: the protocol offers up to 28% APY.
JPool’s DeFi Powerhouse
JPool isn’t just another liquid staking protocol in the burgeoning DeFi ecosystem. It offers a wide set of services and products designed for builders, DeFi power users, and even first-time stakers.
In addition to the high-yield and liquid staking, JPool also offers direct staking. This allows the users to stake assets with the validators of their choice in a few simple steps like going through a list of validators, reviewing the data, and directly staking their tokens based on preference.
JPool also has three main tools for both validator operators and delegates: Analytics, Validator Toolkit, and Bookkeeper.
Analytics is a dashboard service of useful metrics and charts for validator operators and delegators.
Validator Toolkit is an all-in-one validator cockpit that automates the processes of bootstrapping and maintaining Solana validator nodes.
Bookkeeper is a bookkeeping and accounting solution designed to meet the growing demand for comprehensive financial and fiscal reporting on blockchain.
JPool has also developed a Telegram-based tap-to-earn game called Pumpjack. The theme of the app is managing virtual oil rigs that would allow users to extract oil and exchange it for JPoints — the reward unit in the JPool ecosystem.
The Holders Club: Where Loyalty Pays Off
It’s not just the staking APY that rewards JPool users. The liquid staking protocol created the Holders Club — an exclusive community that honors the platform’s active and loyal users. This initiative blends loyalty rewards with DeFi functionality rather than being just a marketing trick.
The Holders Club Community members can earn JPoints by performing various assignments like completing social media tasks, referring others to the platform, using JSOL on partner protocols, or even simply holding JSOL.
Moreover, members of the Holders Club will have access to the platform’s upcoming privileges, exclusive or time-limited offers, and earning boosters. To become a member of the club, users need to connect their wallet to get a decentralized ID in the form of a non-fungible token for free.
The club has five membership tiers, starting from less than 20,000 JPoints for the first level to over 10 million JPoints for the level five membership.
Unlike many protocols that rely on speculative incentives, JPool’s Holders Club provides sustainable and data-driven rewards. It’s modeled after long-standing staking reward structures but with an added layer of exclusivity and performance.
According to JPool’s documentation, club members can receive up to 1.2x multiplier on their staking rewards depending on the club tier and holding duration.
This way, JPool is not just giving tokens — it’s giving opportunities: to earn, grow, and be part of the protocol’s future.
Raising The Bar for Solana Staking
Liquid staking is no longer a luxury — it’s a core function of modern DeFi. And within this space, JPool stands out as a platform that isn’t just keeping up — it’s innovating for a sustainable ecosystem. With up to 20% APY, a fresh new design, and the Holders Club rewarding loyalty with real value, it’s hard to overlook JPool’s potential.
JPool’s unique features and high APY helped its TVL rise from $11 million to $160 million. Its value even reached $266 million in the middle of the bull run in January — suggesting great potential for the protocol to dominate the liquid staking sector on the Solana network.
Unlike many DeFi protocols with bulky interfaces, JPool’s rebranding helped it become a good choice for both validator operators and stakers due to its user-friendly design and easy-to-use user interface for both first-timers and DeFi experts.
