# How to Make Your Kolibrio Stake Liquid
Kolibrio participates in the [**JPool liquid staking program**](https://app.jpool.one/validators/34mSDco9FM8599y4QF1GJvyWUrPixeT3zRNZAvzNXF6x), allowing you to stake SOL to Kolibrio and receive **JSOL**, a liquid representation of your stake. This lets you continue earning rewards while keeping your assets liquid for use across the Solana DeFi ecosystem.
### **How to Stake to Kolibrio with JSOL**
1. Go to the [Kolibrio staking page on JPool](https://app.jpool.one/direct-staking?vote=34mSDco9FM8599y4QF1GJvyWUrPixeT3zRNZAvzNXF6x\&superminority=1\&private=1\&anonymous=1\&delinquent=1)
2. Select **Kolibrio** from the validator list
3. Enter the amount of SOL you want to stake\
4. Click **Stake** and receive **JSOL** in return\
\
JSOL is fully backed by stake delegated to **Kolibrio** and can be used in swaps, lending, liquidity pools, and other DeFi apps.\
### **How Do I Get My Rewards?**
JSOL rewards are **automatically accrued**:
* You donβt need to claim them manually
* As the validator earns rewards, your share in the pool increases
* This is reflected in the **JSOL-to-SOL exchange rate**, which grows over time
* When you unstake or swap JSOL back to SOL, the current exchange rate determines the amount of SOL you receive
### **Benefits of Liquid Staking with Kolibrio**
* π§ **Instant Liquidity** β Unstake anytime by swapping JSOL
* π **DeFi Ready** β Use JSOL in Solana DeFi protocols while still earning validator rewards
* π **Leverage Your Position** β For advanced users, JSOL can be used to **loop stake**:\
β Lend JSOL to borrow more SOL\
β Re-stake that SOL to receive more JSOL\
β Repeat to create a **leveraged staking position**
