JagPool Staked SOL
JagPool is a liquid staking protocol on Solana. Users stake SOL, receive a liquid token and earn validator rewards. At $58M TVL at the 2026-08-14 survey, it is below our size floor, so a sleeve-sized client position would be too large a share of the token’s liquidity to exit cleanly. We do not open an individual review while the protocol is below the size floor. Size alone decides the result, whatever the protocol’s quality. If TVL crosses the floor and holds, the file reopens and joins the Solana LST comparison, where Marinade is the selected provider.

The research file
Mechanism applicability
JagPool uses Solana’s native stake-pool design. It delegates SOL across validators, and a depositor receives jagSOL as a share of the pool. Protocol documents state a 5% fee on rewards. The return therefore comes from native validator yield, while a holder takes on risks from the stake pool, validator selection and token liquidity.
Protocol-specific operating evidence
JagPool publishes a regional delegation plan and now lists allocation weights of 47% performance score, 23% community goods, 15% JagPool partners and 13% snapshot providers. Those disclosures show that it fits the Solana LST class. This size-gated review does not check current validator concentration, authorities, audits or incidents, and readers must not treat it as a full individual review.
Exit consequence
The protocol says holders can exchange jagSOL back for SOL at the end of an epoch, while a secondary sale depends on available market liquidity. DefiLlama’s current API record is about $57M, below the class size floor, so an advised sleeve could be a meaningful share of the pool or token liquidity. Exit capacity drives the class result, not a claim that the protocol is impaired.
Why the class rule decides
The v1 dossier requires TVL at or above the size floor for 30 days before we open an individual review. JagPool remains below that floor. If it crosses and holds, the reopened file must compare delegation, authorities, validator concentration, security record and stressed exits with the selected Solana LST. Crossing the floor would reopen the review, not mean approval.
Research status
This is a capacity-unproven record for JagPool Staked SOL, not a quality rejection or approval. Reported TVL says how big the venue is, not what the client owns, who can change the rules, or how a position exits at a proposed size. The individual review opens when the protocol clears the size floor.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls
The research above describes the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The layer with the most administrative power sets the position’s effective control; that describes control, not quality or suitability.
| Chain | Verdict | Control | Control constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | Approved with limits | Governed, no freeze | no admin key can seize funds, but stake concentration and a sub-25 Nakamoto coefficient are the standing watch items. |
