Phantom SOL

Phantom SOL receives a B risk grade (23/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. A convenient and well-integrated liquid staking option for Phantom wallet users, built on battle-tested Solana infrastructure. The centralized validator selection and shallower liquidity are trade-offs for the seamless UX. Best for users who value convenience over maximum decentralization. Phantom SOL (PSOL) is Phantom wallet's native liquid staking token on Solana. When you stake SOL through Phantom, you receive PSOL — a yield-bearing token that grows in value over time as staking rewards and MEV tips accumulate. Built on Solana's audited SPL Stake Pool program, PSOL offers convenient one-click staking directly in the wallet. However, Phantom centrally controls which validators receive your delegated SOL, and PSOL has shallower liquidity pools compared to established competitors like mSOL or jitoSOL.

The key risks identified for Phantom SOL are: (1) Phantom controls validator selection — you trust a single company with your stake delegation (2) PSOL has less DEX liquidity than mSOL or jitoSOL, meaning more slippage if you need to exit quickly (3) Staking is tied to the Phantom wallet experience — switching wallets adds friction (4) MEV tip sharing is not transparently verifiable on-chain
