Okay, so you’ve got some SOL in your wallet – what is there to do with it?
Liquid staking is becoming a more popular option; this entails staking your SOL to a staking pool rather than directly to the Solana network. In doing so, you receive a token representing your staked SOL, i.e. a Liquid Staking Token (LST).
