Solana liquid staking tokens (LSTs) allow holders to earn staking yield while keeping capital available for DeFi and trading. You deposit SOL, receive an LST representing your staked position plus accumulated yield, and can redeem or use that LST across DeFi protocols. The token's price relative to SOL reflects accumulated yield and any liquidity premium or discount.
LST behavior diverges most from SOL during liquidity stress events. When broad market volatility spikes, LSTs can temporarily trade at a discount to their redemption value because immediate liquidity is worth more than the staking yield premium. Tracking this spread during drawdowns is one of the most useful risk indicators for staking token exposure.
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is an important differentiator between staking protocols. Validators that run MEV-aware infrastructure can generate higher returns, compounding staking yield over time. Jito's MEV focus is a well-known example on Solana, and has driven meaningful yield differences between otherwise similar LST products.
Governance tokens for staking protocols (like JTO and MNDE) behave differently from the LSTs themselves. They are more reflexive to protocol-level narrative, partnership announcements, and governance proposals, rather than pure staking yield. Both are worth tracking together for a complete view of the staking ecosystem.

What is the difference between an LST and a staking governance token?
An LST (like jitoSOL or mSOL) directly represents staked SOL plus yield. A governance token (like JTO or MNDE) represents voting rights over the staking protocol and is priced on protocol sentiment and adoption rather than pure yield.
How does MEV capture affect staking yield?
Validators that capture MEV can pass additional yield to stakers on top of base staking rewards. Protocols with effective MEV strategies have historically delivered higher yields, which influences LST adoption and token demand.
What risks are specific to liquid staking tokens?
Smart contract risk, LST depeg risk during liquidity stress, and validator concentration risk. If a single entity controls a large share of staked SOL through an LST, a validator failure can affect the entire LST value.
