What is PUMP Staking?+
PUMP Staking is a non-custodial staking protocol built on the Solana blockchain. It allows you to stake SOL and popular SPL tokens — including BONK, WIF, POPCAT, JUP, PYTH, and more — to earn daily SOL rewards with APYs up to 34%.
What APY can I earn on PUMP Staking?+
APYs range from 8.5% (flexible, no lock) to 34% (180-day lock) for SOL. Memecoin pools like BONK and WIF offer up to 28% and 26% respectively. APYs are variable and depend on pool size and overall protocol activity.
Which wallets are supported?+
PUMP Staking supports all major Solana wallets: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Glow, Exodus, and any WalletAdapter-compatible wallet. We recommend Phantom or Solflare for the smoothest experience.
Is PUMP Staking non-custodial?+
Yes — completely. Your tokens are locked in on-chain Solana programs that only you can interact with via your wallet signature. PUMP Staking never has access to your private keys or the ability to move your funds.
What are the lock period options?+
We offer four lock periods: Flexible (no lock, 8.5% APY), 30-day lock (14% APY), 90-day lock (22% APY), and 180-day lock (34% APY). You choose your risk/reward balance. All options are available simultaneously — you can spread your stake across multiple periods.
Can I unstake early from a locked position?+
Early unstaking from locked positions is not available to preserve protocol yield integrity. However, flexible positions can be unstaked at any time with zero penalties. We recommend flexible staking if you may need your funds before the lock period ends.
How often are rewards distributed?+
Rewards accrue in real-time every Solana epoch (approximately every 2 days) and are claimable daily at 00:00 UTC. You can also enable auto-compounding to automatically restake your rewards for maximum compound yield.
What tokens are rewards paid in?+
All rewards from all pools — including BONK, WIF, POPCAT, JUP, and PYTH — are paid out in SOL. This simplifies accounting and means you always receive the most liquid Solana-native asset as your reward.
What is the minimum staking amount?+
For SOL: minimum 0.1 SOL. For SPL tokens: BONK requires at least 10,000 BONK, WIF requires 1 WIF, POPCAT requires 10 POPCAT, JUP requires 10 JUP, and PYTH requires 100 PYTH. These minimums exist to cover gas costs for reward distribution.
Are there any fees?+
PUMP Staking charges zero protocol fees on staking or unstaking. The only costs are standard Solana network fees (typically $0.00025 per transaction). Rewards are 100% distributed to stakers — no performance cut is taken by the protocol.
Has PUMP Staking been audited?+
Yes. All PUMP Staking smart contracts have been audited by OtterSec (Jan 2024), Halborn (Mar 2024), Neodyme (Jun 2024), and Trail of Bits (Oct 2024). All audits passed with no critical findings. Full reports are publicly available on our GitHub.
Is the code open source?+
Yes. All PUMP Staking program code is publicly available on GitHub and verified on-chain via Solana's program verification. Anyone can inspect, audit, and verify the exact code running on mainnet.
What is auto-compounding and how do I enable it?+
Auto-compounding automatically restakes your daily SOL rewards back into your staking position, allowing you to earn yield on your yield. It can be enabled per-position in the "My Rewards" tab after connecting your wallet. Auto-compounding is free and increases your effective APY significantly over time.
How does PUMP Staking generate yield?+
Yield is generated from multiple sources: (1) Solana native staking rewards from validator delegation, (2) liquidity provision fees from partnered Solana DEXs, (3) protocol revenue sharing from PUMP Staking's broader DeFi integrations. All yield sources are transparent and auditable on-chain.
Can I stake multiple tokens at the same time?+
Yes. You can have multiple simultaneous staking positions across different tokens and different lock periods. Each position is tracked independently, and all rewards accumulate to the same claim balance, payable in SOL.
What is the difference between PUMP Staking and native Solana staking?+
Native Solana staking (delegating to validators) typically earns 6–8% APY with a 2–3 day unlock delay. PUMP Staking offers significantly higher APYs (up to 34%), instant flexible unstaking, and the ability to stake SPL tokens beyond just SOL — all through a simpler user interface.
Is KYC required?+
No KYC is required. PUMP Staking is a fully decentralized protocol — you connect your wallet and interact directly with smart contracts. We do not collect personal information, email addresses, or identity documents of any kind.
What happens when a locked position expires?+
When a lock period expires, your position automatically switches to flexible status. Your stake remains in the pool earning the flexible APY (8.5%) until you manually unstake. You will not lose your position or rewards if you don't act immediately.
Are memecoin pool APYs stable?+
APYs for memecoin pools like BONK and WIF are higher but more variable than SOL pools due to price volatility and changing liquidity depth. We display 30-day rolling average APYs. Rewards are always paid in SOL regardless of the staked token's price movement.
What is the PUMP governance token?+
PUMP is the governance token of the protocol, distributed to long-term stakers. PUMP holders can vote on new pool additions, APY adjustments, fee parameters, and treasury allocations. Token distribution details and governance are documented in our whitepaper.
How are live APYs calculated?+
APYs are calculated based on the annualized yield from the current epoch's reward rate. The formula accounts for Solana validator delegation rewards plus protocol-specific boosters. APYs are updated every epoch (~2 days) and displayed on the pool dashboard.
Does PUMP Staking work on mobile?+
Yes. pumpstaking.com is fully mobile-responsive. Use the Phantom or Solflare mobile app's built-in browser to access PUMP Staking and sign transactions directly from your phone. The interface adjusts automatically to any screen size.
How do I track my staking earnings?+
Connect your wallet and navigate to the "My Rewards" tab to see all active positions, accumulated rewards, APY per position, and claim history. All data is pulled directly from on-chain state — it is always accurate and cannot be manipulated.
What are the risks of staking on PUMP?+
Primary risks include: (1) Smart contract risk — mitigated by multiple audits and open-source code. (2) Token price risk for SPL memecoin positions — your staked tokens' value may fluctuate. (3) APY variability — rates are not fixed guarantees. All staking carries risk; only stake what you can afford to hold.
Can I claim rewards without unstaking?+
Yes. You can claim accumulated SOL rewards at any time without touching your staked principal. Simply click "Claim All Rewards" in the My Rewards tab. There is no fee for claiming rewards and no minimum claim amount.
What is the upgrade authority status of the programs?+
The core staking vault programs have their upgrade authority permanently revoked — meaning no one, including the PUMP Staking team, can modify the program logic after deployment. This provides maximum security guarantees for stakers.
How do I report a bug or vulnerability?+
Report security vulnerabilities through our $8M Bug Bounty Program at
[email protected]. Critical vulnerabilities may qualify for rewards up to $500,000 in SOL. General bugs can be submitted via our GitHub issues. We respond to all security reports within 24 hours.
Will more tokens be added to PUMP Staking?+
Yes — new SPL token pools are added regularly through governance proposals. PUMP token holders vote on which tokens to support next. Currently under consideration: RAY, ORCA, MEW, MYRO, and SLERF. Community members can propose new tokens via the governance forum.
Does PUMP Staking integrate with DeFi protocols?+
Yes. PUMP Staking integrates with Jupiter Aggregator for optimal token routing, Marinade Finance for native SOL liquid staking, and Kamino Finance for yield optimization. These integrations are used internally to maximize protocol yield while remaining fully non-custodial.
What is pumpstaking.com's roadmap?+
Our 2025 roadmap includes: liquid staking receipts (pSOL), cross-chain staking via Wormhole, a dedicated mobile app, governance portal launch, expanded memecoin pool support (20+ tokens), and institutional API for high-volume stakers. Details in our whitepaper.
Where can I follow PUMP Staking updates?+
Follow @PumpStaking on X (Twitter) for protocol updates, new pool announcements, governance votes, and reward program news. Join our Telegram community for real-time discussion, and Discord for developer integrations and governance proposals.
Is there a referral program?+
Yes. PUMP Staking has an on-chain referral program: share your referral link and earn 0.5% of every referred stake in SOL, paid immediately on-chain. Referred stakers receive a 5% APY boost on their first 30 days. Referral links are generated in the dashboard after connecting your wallet.
