An estimate of what a stake would pay, year by year, in the asset you choose. Prices are held at today’s; Solana inflation steps down on the protocol schedule.

Every figure here is an estimate (~). Yield is the validator’s staking return net of the platform fee, compounded per epoch. Principal never compounds: the LST stays 1:1 with SOL and the yield leaves as USDC. Prices are held at the inputs; real payouts use each epoch’s fill. This pool is not open yet.
