Stake Account

A Solana account that delegates SOL to a validator to earn inflation rewards.

A stake account holds SOL delegated to a specific validator. Delegated SOL earns per-epoch rewards after a warm-up period and can be undelegated with a cool-down period. Rewards compound automatically until withdrawn.

Liquid staking protocols (Marinade, Jito, BlazeStake) let you stake SOL while receiving a tradable LST (like mSOL or jitoSOL) that represents your staked position.
