# 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.<br>

### **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\

JSOL is fully backed by stake delegated to **Kolibrio** and can be used in swaps, lending, liquidity pools, and other DeFi apps.\ <br>

### **How Do I Get My Rewards?**

JSOL rewards are **automatically accrued**:

* You don’t 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

<br>

### **Benefits of Liquid Staking with Kolibrio**

* 💧 **Instant Liquidity** – Unstake anytime by swapping JSOL
* 🔁 **DeFi Ready** – Use JSOL in Solana DeFi protocols while still earning validator rewards
* 🔄 **Leverage Your Position** – For advanced users, JSOL can be used to **loop stake**:\
  → Lend JSOL to borrow more SOL\
  → Re-stake that SOL to receive more JSOL\
  → Repeat to create a **leveraged staking position**
