PSOL is Phantom Wallet's latest innovation in the Solana ecosystem allowing users to stake SOL while retaining liquidity. As liquid staking grows across blockchains, PSOL introduces a seamless, yield-generating token that bridges passive income and DeFi usability.
What makes PSOL different from traditional staking?
When users stake SOL via Phantom, they receive PSOL, a token that appreciates over time. Unlike traditional staking, users can still participate in DeFi activities with PSOL, unlocking new yield streams without forfeiting staking rewards.
What kind of returns can you expect?
PSOL offers up to 9% APY from sources like SOL issuance, MEV tips, and priority fees. Phantom takes an 8% protocol fee from rewards, optimizing returns for retail while ensuring sustainable economics.
What are the unstaking options?
There are two: delayed unstaking (2–3 days wait with a 0.1% fee), and instant swaps via Phantom's built-in exchange, depending on available liquidity. This dual-model balances convenience and protocol efficiency.
How is PSOL performing in the market?
As of May 15. 2025. PSOL traded at $170.58 with a $5.51 million market cap and over 4.400 holders. Its trading volume reached $4 million in 24 hours solid early adoption for a fresh staking asset.
Conclusion
PSOL brings liquid staking mainstream for Solana users. By combining ease of use, attractive yield, and ecosystem integration, Phantom's new token is likely to play a central role in Solana's DeFi surge.
