Frequently asked questions
What is the best place to stake SOL?
By net yield, INF (Sanctum Infinity) is highest today at 5.60%. The best exchange rate is Kraken at 4.77%. The right choice also depends on lockup and your state.

What is the difference between gross and net SOL staking yield?
Gross is what the network pays validators. Net is what you keep after the provider's or validator's cut. StakeScout ranks by net wherever the source publishes it, and labels any gross figure.
What is the native SOL staking rate?
About 4.95% (net of median commission). Method: Validator inflation rate x total supply / active stake (Solana RPC), minus the median validator commission (5%). Excludes MEV tips, so real yields with MEV-sharing validators are often higher.
