Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start staking SOL with AstraSol?
Connect a compatible wallet to the AstraSol DApp, select a staking plan or validator basket, confirm the delegation details and sign the transaction. If you prefer, follow the guided onboarding inside the DApp. For institutional migration, contact support for a tailored plan.
Will staking with AstraSol lock my SOL or prevent trading?
Delegating SOL does not transfer ownership; it limits immediate transferability until you deactivate stake per Solana network timing. AstraSol also supports liquid staking products (subject to availability and risk disclosures) which provide tradable tokens representing staked assets.
What fees should I expect when staking?
Fees include validator commission and any platform fee. AstraSol displays both fees and the resulting net APR prior to confirmation so you can make an informed choice. Always compare net APR rather than headline APR.
How are rewards distributed and how often?
Rewards accrue every Solana epoch. Payout visibility depends on network timing and any provider reporting intervals. AstraSol shows expected reward timing in the dashboard and notifies users of payout events.
How does AstraSol select validators and limit risk?
AstraSol uses a multi-factor scoring system (uptime, missed slots, stake concentration, commission trends and operational transparency). We rebalance gradually to reduce exposure to underperforming validators while aiming for stable net APR.
Can I withdraw my staked SOL immediately?
Unstaking follows Solana’s network rules. Deactivation and withdrawal may take several epochs to complete. For liquid staking products, withdrawal rules depend on the specific token and contract mechanics.
Does AstraSol hold my private keys?
By default AstraSol operates as a non-custodial DApp — we do not collect private keys. If you choose a custodial service, it will require explicit consent and separate terms. Never share private keys via support channels.
How do I report suspicious activity or security issues?
Immediately report security incidents to security@astrasol.bond. For phishing or account abuse, contact support@astrasol.bond. Do not share seeds or private keys.
Can AstraSol provide transaction histories for taxes?
Yes — you can export transaction histories and delegation logs from the dashboard to assist with tax reporting. AstraSol does not provide tax advice — consult a tax professional for obligations in your jurisdiction.
What integrations and wallets are supported?
AstraSol supports major Solana wallets and integrations (e.g., Phantom, Solflare, Trust Wallet) and partners for swaps and analytics. Check the DApp connect modal for the current supported wallets and versions.
