Synthetic staking is an advanced but transparent approach to staking. With Parity, users earn not only blockchain security rewards (validator yield) but also market-based rewards, such as funding fees paid by traders. These two sources of yield are seamlessly combined through automated, rules-based logic.
When users stake with Parity, they help secure both blockchains and crypto markets, contributing to greater stability across the ecosystem — and in return, they earn superior rewards.
In practice, when staking with Parity users receive a synthetic liquid staking token (sLST) — such as pikSOL or pikUSDC — which grows in value over time, just like traditional LSTs. The user experience mirrors that of staking with popular protocols on Solana today, with no extra steps or complexity.
