Summary

Jupiter Exchange has launched a native staking collateral feature on its lending platform, Jupiter Lend, enabling users to borrow against natively staked Solana (SOL) without the use of liquid staking tokens. This development opens access to more than $30 billion worth of SOL previously locked out of decentralized finance (DeFi) lending markets. By integrating native staking collateral, Jupiter broadens lending opportunities while maintaining staking-based security.

Terms & Concepts
  • Native Staking: The process of locking tokens directly in a blockchain’s core protocol to earn rewards, without converting them to derivative liquid staking tokens.
  • Liquid Staking Tokens: Tokenized representations of staked crypto assets that allow trading or using them in DeFi while still earning staking rewards.
  • DeFi: Decentralized finance—blockchain-based financial services enabling lending, borrowing, and trading without traditional intermediaries.
