🚀 JitoSOL Staking on Arbitrum — Now Live in Pods' Yield Product

Pods' mission is to make yield strategies accessible across chains — simple to integrate, easy to use, and liquid by design. And today, we’re excited to announce the latest addition: staking Solana (SOL) through Jito, now available on Arbitrum. This brings one of the most popular Solana-native yield strategies into Pods' plug-and-play yield infrastructure, opening the door for wallets, exchanges, and fintech apps to offer SOL staking + MEV rewards directly to their users.

Why JitoSOL on Arbitrum?

Staking SOL traditionally means locking assets on Solana and waiting through unbonding periods. That’s not ideal for platforms that need flexibility and liquidity. With JitoSOL brought on-chain to Arbitrum via Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework, we solve that problem:

• Native staking yield + MEV rewards are preserved
• Liquidity remains unified — no fragmentation, no wrapped token confusion
• Composability unlocked — JitoSOL can be used in Arbitrum DeFi protocols like Balancer for extra yield opportunities

For integrators, that means they can offer their users real SOL yield with full DeFi flexibility, all through Pods' API.

How the strategy works

When users deposit SOL, it’s staked via Jito and represented as JitoSOL. Rewards from staking and MEV accrue automatically and compound over time. 📊 Historical average APY: ~7.7% ⚡️ Yield comes from staking rewards + MEV extraction And because the tokens stay liquid, they can also participate in DeFi activities on Arbitrum, like Balancer pools, which add another layer of potential returns.

Seamless integration for partners

With Pods, partners don’t need to build staking infrastructure or bridge mechanics themselves. Our API and widget handle:

• Asset conversion into JitoSOL
• Automatic reward accrual and compounding
• Liquidity routing and DeFi integrations (e.g., Balancer)
• On-demand withdrawals with no lock-ups

The result: partners can launch SOL staking as a yield product inside their own platform — fast, secure, and revenue-generating.

The bigger picture

Pods already powers yield strategies with protocols like Morpho, Aave, Sky, and Lido. The integration of JitoSOL on Arbitrum is another step in our vision: to simplify access to DeFi yields and make them available everywhere users are. 💜 Real yield, cross-chain flexibility, and seamless integration — now with Solana staking through Jito.
