$SOL

How SOL is used in SolStaking:

🔒 1. Staking SOL

You delegate your SOL tokens to a validator on the Solana network. This helps secure the network and validate transactions.

💰 2. Earning Rewards

In return, you earn staking rewards (typically 6–8% annually, but it can vary). Rewards are paid in SOL.

🧠 3. Non-Custodial

When you stake SOL using SolStaking or similar platforms:

You keep control of your keys.

Your SOL is locked, but not transferred to another wallet.

⏳ 4. Lock Period (Warm-Up & Cooldown)

There's often a cooldown/unbonding period (e.g., ~2–3 days on Solana) before you can unstake and withdraw.
