🟣SOL Staking

Put your SOL to work with quant strategies, while keeping full SOL exposure.

What Is SOL Staking at The Capital?

SOL Staking lets you deposit SOL into The Capital and turn it into a yield-bearing, Solana-native position powered by professional quantitative strategies.

When you stake SOL with us:

  1. Your SOL is used as collateral and core exposure.

  2. On top of that, we run market-neutral and delta-neutral trading strategies.

  3. We do not hedge away your SOL exposure – you remain fully long SOL.

So at the portfolio level, you are:

Long SOL + earning additional yield from neutral quant strategies built on top of your position.

You participate in SOL’s upside (and downside), while our systems work to generate extra real yield from trading activity, fees, and structural market inefficiencies.


How the Strategy Works (High Level)

Here’s the flow in simple terms:

  1. Deposit SOL You deposit SOL into The Capital’s SOL Staking vault. This SOL is your principal and your base exposure.

  2. Use SOL as Productive Collateral Your SOL is deposited into Solana-native venues and used as collateral.

  3. Run Market-Neutral / Delta-Neutral Overlays On top of that collateral, our trading systems deploy hedged, rules-based strategies in perp and spot markets. Examples include:

    • Funding and basis trades

    • Fee and spread capture

    • Liquidity provision and structured market-making

    These strategies are market-neutral and delta-neutral at the strategy level (they’re not betting on direction) but are powered by your SOL collateral.

  4. Keep Full SOL Exposure We do not hedge out your underlying SOL position.

    • If SOL goes up, your principal benefits.

    • If SOL goes down, your principal declines.

    • In both cases, the quant strategies aim to add extra yield on top.


Where the Yield Comes From

Your total return comes from two main components:

  1. SOL exposure

    • Price performance of SOL itself.

  2. Neutral strategy yield

    • Trading fees, funding, and spread capture from running market-neutral and delta-neutral strategies.

    • Yield generated from liquidity provision and structural inefficiencies in Solana’s perp and spot markets.

The result is a position that behaves like SOL plus an additional yield stream sourced from professional trading activity.


Why Use The Capital Instead of Plain SOL Staking?

Traditional options:

  • Simple validator staking → SOL exposure + modest staking APY

  • LST loops and leveraged strategies → higher APY, but more complexity and risk

  • Lending SOL → lower APY, limited upside

With SOL Staking at The Capital you get:

  • Full SOL exposure (you’re still long SOL)

  • Quant-powered neutral strategies layered on top of your position

  • Yield derived from real trading and on-chain activity

It’s built for users who are bullish on Solana long term, but also want their SOL to be actively productive instead of just sitting in vanilla staking.
