Features
What the app does
Native and liquid staking, the rewards that come with them, and checks around every transaction your wallet signs.
-
Native staking
Create a stake account and delegate it to a validator from the list, with APY, commission and Jito support shown for each. The StakeCraft validator is listed first as the recommended one and is pre-selected; you can pick any other.
-
Liquid staking via Sanctum
Swap SOL for a liquid staking token (LST) through Sanctum, with the quote and a transaction preview before your wallet signs. Unstaking swaps it back the same way, and a compare screen lists each LST's APY as Sanctum reports it.
-
Jito MEV rewards
Validators running Jito share MEV tips with the stake delegated to them, paid into your stake account. The app reads that extra SOL on-chain and harvests it to your wallet while the stake stays delegated.
-
A preview before every signature
Before your wallet asks for a signature, the app simulates the transaction and shows the balance changes, the network fee and any warnings. Nothing is sent until you approve it in your wallet.
-
Push alerts
Notifications when a stake finishes activating or deactivating, and when a validator you stake with becomes delinquent, raises its commission, turns off Jito or is flagged with a warning. You can turn them off in the app.
-
AI explanations
Plain-language sentences next to figures the app has already computed, on a transaction preview, an error or a screen. The AI describes and never advises; it calculates nothing and cannot sign or send anything. A help chat answers from the app's FAQ and the Solana documentation.
-
Wallet doctor
Housekeeping found in your wallet as it is now: stake accounts that can be merged or withdrawn, idle SOL, and empty token accounts whose rent can be reclaimed. Each action runs on its own, with the preview before anything is signed.
-
PIN and biometric lock
Lock the app with a 4-digit PIN and, where the device supports it, fingerprint or face unlock. The app locks when it goes to the background; your wallet app keeps its own protection.
-
Multiple wallets
Connect Solana wallets through Mobile Wallet Adapter, keep several in the wallet list and switch between them. Your keys stay in the wallet app.
Also in the app
- SOL balance and the USD price
- send and receive SOL
- merge and split stake accounts
- epoch progress and the time left
- rewards history per stake account, CSV export
- devnet and testnet, with test SOL airdrops
Screens
Inside the app
Screens from a test build. Figures such as APY are estimates from validator data and change over time.
How it works
Three steps, your wallet signs
-
Step 01
connect wallet
Open the app and connect a Solana wallet through Mobile Wallet Adapter. The app reads your public address; your keys stay in the wallet app.
-
Step 02
choose amount and validator
Enter the SOL to stake and keep the StakeCraft validator or choose another from the list. The screen shows the estimated yearly reward, the epoch in which the stake activates, the stake account rent and the network fee.
-
Step 03
review the preview and sign in your wallet
The app simulates the transaction and shows what it changes. Your wallet then asks for the signature; nothing is sent until you approve it there.
the stake starts to activate at the next epoch boundary
FAQ
Questions
What is staking?
Staking means delegating SOL to a Solana validator from a stake account. The SOL stays in a stake account controlled by your wallet and is not sent to the validator. The validator helps secure the network, and the stake earns rewards every epoch.
With liquid staking you swap SOL for a liquid staking token (LST), which represents a share of a staking pool and can be held or swapped like any token. LSTs add pool and smart-contract risk, and their price against SOL can move.
When do rewards start?
A new delegation starts to activate at the next epoch boundary, so it begins earning in a later epoch rather than immediately. Large amounts can take more than one epoch, because the network limits how much stake can activate per epoch. Recently an epoch has taken about a day.
Rewards are calculated once per epoch and credited at the start of the next one, directly into the stake account. The APY shown for a validator is an estimate and changes over time.
How does unstaking work?
Unstaking has two steps: deactivate, then withdraw. Deactivation takes effect at the next epoch boundary; for typical amounts the stake is inactive from the start of the next epoch, so the wait is at most one epoch. Very large stakes can take longer. Once the position shows as inactive, Withdraw moves the SOL to your wallet.
Instant unstake swaps a stake account for SOL through Sanctum right away, for a fee deducted from the payout. The app shows the fee in SOL and as a percentage, with the amount you receive, before anything is signed. It is available on mainnet only.
What can the app do with my wallet?
It reads your public address and on-chain balances, prepares transactions and asks your wallet to sign them. It cannot move funds on its own: your wallet app keeps the keys and signs every transaction through Mobile Wallet Adapter, and you can reject any request there.
The app never holds your funds or keys and never asks for a seed phrase or private key. For notifications it may ask your wallet to sign a short message that proves you control the address; that signature is not a transaction, costs nothing and does not give access to your funds.
What does it cost?
The app charges no fee of its own. Every Solana transaction pays a network fee, a base 0.000005 SOL per signature plus an optional priority fee, shown in the preview before you sign. A validator keeps its commission, listed for each validator, from the staking rewards.
A new stake account holds a rent-exempt reserve of about 0.00228 SOL, which comes back when the account is withdrawn in full and closed. Liquid staking swaps and instant unstakes go through Sanctum, which includes its own fee in the quote.
Does the app give financial advice?
No. The app shows information, such as validator data and estimates, and leaves every decision to you. The AI features describe figures the app has computed and never recommend staking, unstaking, buying, selling or moving funds.
Staking involves risks, set out in the Terms of Use.
