pathSOL is a liquid staking token (LST), which you acquire in return for staking your SOL to support Project Pathfinders.
When pathSOL is bought, the SOL used in that purchase is staked, via a Pathfinders pseudo-validator, to Sanctum’s Infinity Router, which delegates the SOL across various validators to acquire yield.
With most LSTs, yield accrues and is returned to the LST holder by an increase in its price. However, with pathSOL, this yield is allocated to Project Pathfinders to facilitate and fund the project’s growth, as well as enable the new LST-NFT standard.
This unique yield structure means that 1 pathSOL will always equal 1 SOL.
You don't have to further stake your pathSOL after buying it. So long as you are holding pathSOL in your wallet, you are considered "staked with" Project Pathfinders and are already earning the LST's associated rewards.
No DeFi integrations are currently live for pathSOL, but these are being worked on and will be announced as they come.
pathSOL is available to buy on the and platforms.
