What is BlazeStake? +
BlazeStake is Solana's leading liquid staking and DeFi protocol. Users can stake SOL to receive bSOL (a liquid staking token), swap tokens, bridge assets across 12+ chains, provide liquidity, and borrow — all within one unified interface on Solana's high-speed blockchain.
What is bSOL? +
bSOL is BlazeStake's liquid staking token. When you stake SOL with BlazeStake, you receive bSOL in return. bSOL automatically accrues staking rewards every Solana epoch (~2 days) and can be freely used across all Solana DeFi protocols while your original SOL stays staked and earning.
What is the current staking APY? +
BlazeStake currently offers a base staking APY of approximately 7.8% on SOL. This rate varies with Solana network staking participation. On top of this, active users earn additional SOL activity rewards for staking, swapping, bridging, and providing liquidity.
What are Activity Rewards? +
BlazeStake distributes real SOL rewards to users based on their protocol activity. Every action — staking, swapping, bridging, adding liquidity, or borrowing — earns you a share of the daily SOL reward pool. Rewards are paid directly in SOL and claimable at any time.
How do I unstake my SOL? +
You have two options: (1) Instant unstake by swapping bSOL back to SOL via any DEX (e.g. Jupiter, Orca) — this is immediate. (2) Standard unstake directly through BlazeStake, which takes one full Solana epoch (~2-3 days) to complete. There is a small fee for instant unstaking.
Which wallets are supported? +
BlazeStake supports all major Solana wallets including Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Coinbase Wallet, and any wallet supporting WalletConnect. We recommend Phantom or Solflare for the best experience on both desktop and mobile.
Is BlazeStake safe and audited? +
Yes. BlazeStake's smart contracts have been independently audited by four leading security firms: Neodyme, OtterSec, Halborn, and Certik. All audits passed with zero critical findings. The protocol also has an active $3M bug bounty on Immunefi to continuously incentivize responsible disclosure.
Is BlazeStake non-custodial? +
Completely non-custodial. BlazeStake never holds your funds. Staking is managed by Solana's native staking program, and all pooled assets are secured in on-chain programs with no admin withdrawal keys. You maintain full control of your SOL at all times.
What is the minimum amount to stake? +
The minimum stake amount is 0.01 SOL, making BlazeStake accessible to all users regardless of portfolio size. There is no maximum stake limit. Staking rewards begin accruing from the very next Solana epoch after your stake is delegated.
What chains does the BlazeStake bridge support? +
BlazeStake Bridge supports 12+ chains including Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Fantom, Sui, Aptos, and NEAR. Bridging is powered by Wormhole's message-passing protocol with ZK light client verification for maximum security.
How fast is the BlazeStake bridge? +
BlazeStake bridge transfers complete in approximately 25 seconds for most routes. Solana's 400ms block time means the source-chain finalization is nearly instant, with destination chain finalization dependent on the target network. Ethereum destinations may take slightly longer (~60s) due to ETH finalization time.
What are the fees on BlazeStake? +
BlazeStake charges a 0.1% fee on swaps and bridges. Staking has zero protocol fee — BlazeStake earns only from the validator commission (10% of staking rewards, not principal). Liquidity pool fees are 0.25% per swap distributed to LPs. Solana network transaction fees are negligible (<$0.001).
How does bSOL earn rewards? +
bSOL is a value-accruing token. Its exchange rate against SOL increases every epoch as staking rewards are distributed. For example, if you receive 1 bSOL today, it might be worth 1.08 SOL after a year (at 8% APY). This means bSOL holders automatically receive compounding staking returns without any manual claiming.
Can I use bSOL in other DeFi protocols? +
Yes — that's the whole point of liquid staking. bSOL is accepted across 20+ Solana DeFi protocols including Jupiter (swaps), Orca (liquidity), Raydium (farms), Kamino (lending), Drift (margin), and many more. You earn staking rewards while simultaneously using bSOL elsewhere in DeFi.
What is the BlazeStake governance token? +
BlazeStake is governed by BLZE token holders. BLZE can be used to vote on protocol parameters, fee adjustments, new chain integrations, validator selection, treasury allocations, and security upgrades. Details about the BLZE token and governance will be announced through official channels.
How does BlazeStake select validators? +
BlazeStake delegates stake to a diversified pool of high-performance, low-commission Solana validators chosen by the DAO. Selection criteria include uptime (>99%), commission rate, data center decentralization, geographic distribution, and community reputation. This maximizes APY while supporting Solana decentralization.
What is the risk of using BlazeStake? +
Key risks include: smart contract risk (mitigated by four audits), validator slashing risk (Solana slashing is minimal and covered by insurance fund), and bSOL liquidity risk (instant unstake available via DEX). BlazeStake maintains a protocol insurance fund funded by fee revenue to cover any unexpected losses.
What assets can I borrow? +
Using SOL or bSOL as collateral, you can borrow USDC, USDT, and other major stablecoins via BlazeStake's integrated borrowing module. Borrow rates start at 2.4% APR. Max LTV is 80%, with liquidation protection features and automatic health factor monitoring.
How do liquidity pools work on BlazeStake? +
You can provide liquidity to token pairs (e.g. SOL/bSOL, SOL/USDC) and earn a share of swap fees paid by traders. Pool fees range from 0.05% to 1% depending on the pair. LPs also earn SOL activity rewards on top of fees. Positions can be entered and exited at any time with no lockup.
Can I stake from a mobile device? +
Yes. BlazeStake is fully mobile-responsive and works perfectly with Phantom Mobile, Solflare Mobile, and Backpack Mobile browsers. The dApp is a progressive web application with full functionality on all devices. Simply open blaze-stake.com in your mobile wallet's built-in browser.
Is there a BlazeStake referral program? +
Yes. BlazeStake has an on-chain referral program. Share your unique referral link and earn bonus SOL rewards when referred users stake, swap, or bridge. Referral rewards are paid in real SOL and distributed weekly. Refer unlimited users with no cap on earnings.
What happens if a validator I'm delegated to gets slashed? +
Solana slashing conditions are very rare and currently limited to severe double-signing violations. BlazeStake's validator selection criteria specifically filters for safe, reputable validators. Additionally, BlazeStake maintains an insurance fund covering up to 100% of any slashing event — your principal is always protected.
How often are staking rewards distributed? +
Solana distributes staking rewards every epoch, which is approximately every 2-3 days. bSOL's exchange rate updates after each epoch to reflect the new rewards. Activity rewards (bonus SOL) are distributed daily based on the previous day's protocol activity across all users.
What is the difference between staking and pooling? +
Staking SOL gives you bSOL that earns validator rewards (~7.8% APY) passively with no active management. Pooling means depositing tokens into a trading pair (like SOL/USDC) and earning fees from traders. Pools can earn higher returns but carry impermanent loss risk, while staking has no such risk.
Does BlazeStake have a native token? +
BlazeStake issues two tokens: bSOL (liquid staking token, earned by staking SOL) and BLZE (governance token for protocol voting). bSOL has real economic value tied to staked SOL plus accrued rewards. BLZE details, tokenomics, and distribution will be announced through official BlazeStake channels.
Can I bridge bSOL to other chains? +
Yes. bSOL can be bridged to Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other supported chains via BlazeStake Bridge. Bridged bSOL continues to represent your staked SOL position and still accrues Solana staking rewards, which can be claimed upon bridging back to Solana.
What is concentrated liquidity? +
Concentrated liquidity lets you provide liquidity within a specific price range rather than across all prices (0 to ∞). This means your capital is used more efficiently, resulting in higher fee earnings for the same amount deposited. BlazeStake's pools on Orca Whirlpools support concentrated liquidity positions.
How do I claim my SOL activity rewards? +
SOL activity rewards are tracked on-chain and can be claimed directly from the BlazeStake app dashboard after connecting your wallet. Rewards accumulate in real-time and can be claimed at any time. Claiming is a simple on-chain transaction with minimal gas (< $0.001 on Solana).
Is my staking position taxable? +
Tax treatment of staking rewards varies by jurisdiction. In many countries, staking rewards are treated as ordinary income when received. BlazeStake provides full transaction history exports to assist with tax reporting. We recommend consulting a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
