Jupiter Lend Now Accepts Native Staking as Collateral for SOL Borrowing

TLDR:

• Jupiter Lend allows users to borrow against natively staked SOL without converting to liquid staking tokens. 
• Over $30 billion in natively staked SOL on Solana can now be used as collateral inside DeFi lending markets. 
• Users can borrow up to 87% of their staked position’s value, with a liquidation threshold set firmly at 88%. 
• Six validators are live at launch, including Jupiter and Helius, with more validators set to join over time.

Native staking as collateral is now available on Jupiter Lend, opening a new lane for Solana DeFi users. Jupiter Exchange has activated a feature allowing holders to borrow against natively staked SOL directly.

No liquid staking tokens are needed at any stage of the process. The update taps into more than $30 billion in staked SOL that previously had no DeFi utility. For long-term SOL stakers, this represents a meaningful shift in how they can use their assets.

Jupiter Lend Bridges Natively Staked SOL Into DeFi Lending

For years, natively staked SOL sat outside the reach of decentralized lending markets. Holders who staked directly with validators had no way to access liquidity without unstaking first.

Jupiter Lend now addresses that gap by detecting staked positions automatically on-chain. Once detected, the position is represented as an nsTOKEN within the protocol.

Jupiter Exchange described the process clearly in a post: “$30B of SOL is natively staked. The largest pool of capital on Solana, earning yield but locked out of DeFi. That changes today.”

The announcement confirmed the feature is live and accessible to users right away. From there, holders can borrow SOL against their staked position without any manual wrapping or conversion.

Staking rewards continue to compound while the collateral remains active on the platform. This means users do not lose yield while borrowing against their position.

The protocol is fully non-custodial, so users keep control of their assets throughout. Everything runs on-chain with no intermediary involved in the process.

The borrowing limit is set at up to 87% of the staked position’s value. The liquidation threshold is placed at 88%, leaving a tight but defined buffer for users.

Each validator on the platform operates through a separate vault. The vault names follow a clear format, such as nsJUPITER for Jupiter and nsHELIUS for Helius.

Six Validators Are Live at Launch With Expansion Plans Ahead

Jupiter Exchange launched the feature with six validators already integrated into the platform. Those validators are Jupiter, Helius, Nansen, Blueshift, Kiln, and Temporal.

Each carries its own dedicated vault while following the same borrowing structure. Users staked with any of these validators can access the feature right away.

As stated in the announcement: “Each has its own vault, but with the same exact flow.” So regardless of which validator a user has staked with, the steps remain the same.

The experience stays consistent across all six supported vaults on Jupiter Lend. Only the validator backing the collateral differs between each nsTOKEN position.

Jupiter Exchange also confirmed that additional validators will be added over time. The plan is to cover a broader range of the Solana validator ecosystem gradually.

As more validators join, more natively staked SOL will enter DeFi lending markets. This phased approach keeps the rollout stable while expanding access steadily.

The launch marks a concrete step toward making natively staked SOL fully liquid for DeFi purposes. Users who previously had no options can now put idle staked capital to work on Jupiter Lend.
