Staking involves giving your "voting rights" to a special Solana computer, known as a validator, in exchange for a yearly return of about 6.5-8%. These voting rights are the ability to vote on transactions, and every Solana token has its own voting power. The validator uses these votes to decide whether a transaction is valid or not.

Yes. It compounds automatically with every epoch.

Yes and yes.

Solana has undergone thorough auditing, ensuring its security. And honestly, if Solana fails, we're all cooked anyway.

You're always free to withdraw your Sol at any time. The SUPERBASEDD Validator never owns your Sol; it only borrows your voting rights. The validator is hosted professionally, and even if the servers go down, you can always withdraw your Sol. Your ownership is never at risk.

Most importantly, you should definitely be staking your Solana, no matter who you choose to stake with. You have voting rights, and you should be earning rewards for them every day. While it's fun to gamble with some of your Sol, it's crucial to build up a solid, staked stash. I believe the official term for this is a "Moon Bag."

Your staked SOL goes through a few stages. In Solana, the minimum delegation time is one epoch. An epoch is a unit of time in computing, and in Solana, it lasts about 2.5 days. To track the progress of your epoch, you can visit this link.

Once you've staked for one epoch, your rewards will be credited at the end of the period.

Our Validator charges 5% commission from any new SOL earned from staking.

Your earned Solana will appear directly in your wallet, with a green number displayed beneath your staked amount. These earnings are automatically added to your total staked Sol.

The more Sol you stake, the higher your rewards. We recommend at least 10 SOL so you get access to all SUPERBASEDD validator additional rewards.

Unstaking is a simple two-step process: Unstaking + Withdrawing. You’ll need a small amount of SOL (about 0.01 SOL) to cover the transaction fee (called gas).

Here’s how to unstake using Phantom wallet:

1. Click on your Solana token balance in your wallet.

2. Select the "Your Stake" row.

3. Choose the superbasedd.com staking account you want to unstake from.

4. Click the purple "Unstake" button in the bottom right.

This action will deactivate your stake, and once the epoch ends (you can check the epoch length on Stakewiz or Solstake), you can withdraw your SOL.

Withdrawing:

If your SUPERBASEDD staking account shows as "Inactive," you can withdraw your SOL back into your wallet.

Here’s how:

1. Click on your Solana token balance in your wallet.

2. Select the SUPERBASEDD staking account you want to withdraw from.

3. Click the three dots "..." in the top right corner.

4. Choose "Withdraw SOL."

Rent is a standard "deposit" that all delegators pay whenever a new stake is created. It's built into the Solana software, and you'll get it back when you unstake. The amount is very small, so think of it as a refundable deposit.

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) on the Solana network refers to the potential profit gained by rearranging, including, or excluding transactions within a block. Our validator operates using the standard Jito validator client. (Yes, this one is copy pasta. We make funny videos and post photos of hot chicks, give me a break.)

Some validators capture all of the MEV, which can amount to 3% or more per year. You can view this information on stakewiz.com. The average commission is around 10%, but we take only 8%, meaning you receive 92% of the MEV. As blockchain usage increases, this could add an extra 3-4% to your annual rewards.

We partner with Latitude.sh as our Validator provider, and our Validator hardware is hosted with LDEX.

Latitude takes security seriously. With security guards, perimeter fences, video surveillance, 24/7/365 secured entry, facial recognition biometric systems, and more, it's built to protect. This is the level of security we'll use to guard Jakey if Sol ever hits $1,000.
