What is JPool and how does it improve staking on Solana?

Staking is a core component of the Solana network, helping secure the blockchain while allowing users to earn rewards on their SOL. However, traditional staking often comes with one limitation: reduced liquidity.

JPool solves this by introducing a liquid staking model that allows users to stake their SOL while still keeping their assets usable across the Solana ecosystem. As part of the JPool validator set, Meria contributes secure infrastructure and reliable performance to support this ecosystem.

1. What is JPool?

JPool is a liquid staking pool built on Solana that allows users to stake SOL while receiving JSOL, a liquid token representing their staked position and accumulated rewards.

Instead of delegating to a single validator, JPool distributes stake across a curated set of reliable validators. This approach improves decentralization while maintaining strong validator performance across the network.

2. How does JPool work?

When users deposit SOL into JPool, the protocol allocates the stake across its validator set based on performance and reliability.

Delegators receive JSOL, which grows in value as staking rewards accumulate. Because JSOL remains liquid, users can transfer it or use it in compatible DeFi applications while still earning staking rewards in the background.

3. Use cases for stakers

Liquid staking through JPool allows SOL holders to maintain flexibility while participating in network security.

With the JSOL token, users can:
• Earn staking rewards on their SOL
• Keep liquidity through the JSOL token
• Use JSOL in DeFi strategies where supported

This combination improves capital efficiency compared to traditional staking.

4. Meria’s role as a validator

Meria operates validator infrastructure across more than 40 blockchains and has been active in the staking ecosystem since 2017.

As part of the JPool validator set, we help secure the network by providing reliable infrastructure and consistent performance, allowing JPool delegators to stake with confidence.
