How to Create a Staking Pool for Your Solana Token (2026)
To create a staking pool on Solana, visit stakepoint.app/for-projects, connect your wallet, click "Create Pool", select your SPL or Token-2022 token, set your APR and lock period, and confirm. No coding required. Pool creation costs 1 SOL and your staking pool is live within minutes.
Why Your Token Needs a Staking Pool
Launching a token is just the beginning. Keeping holders engaged and reducing sell pressure is the real challenge.
Staking solves this by giving holders a reason to lock their tokens instead of selling. Projects with staking pools see:
- Reduced sell pressure - Staked tokens are locked, not dumped
- Increased holder retention - Rewards incentivize long-term holding
- Stronger community - Stakers become invested in your success
- Higher token utility - Your token does more than just trade
The problem? Building staking infrastructure is expensive, time-consuming, and requires smart contract expertise.
Until now.
StakePoint: Launch Your Pool in 5 Minutes
StakePoint lets any Solana project launch a fully-featured staking pool without writing a single line of code. Just connect your wallet, configure your pool, and deploy.
What makes us different:
We're the only staking platform on Solana that supports both SPL tokens and Token-2022 tokens. If your token uses the new Token-2022 standard (with transfer taxes, interest-bearing features, or other extensions), we've got you covered. No other platform does this.
SPL vs Token-2022: We Support Both
SPL Tokens (Classic Standard)
The original Solana token standard. If you launched before 2024 or used a standard token creator, you're probably SPL.
StakePoint fully supports SPL tokens with:
- Automatic APR calculation
- Flexible or locked staking periods
- Reflection rewards in any token
- Shareable pool links
Token-2022 (New Standard)
The next generation of Solana tokens with built-in features like transfer taxes, interest-bearing mechanics, and metadata extensions.
Most staking platforms can't handle Token-2022. Their smart contracts were built for SPL only.
StakePoint was built from the ground up to support Token-2022:
- Transfer tax tokens work correctly
- Reflection token rewards supported
- All Token-2022 extensions compatible
- Same easy setup as SPL tokens
If you've launched a Token-2022 token and struggled to find staking infrastructure, you've found your solution.
What You Can Build on StakePoint
Variable APR Pools
Deposit your reward tokens and set your pool duration. The APR calculates automatically based on:
- Total rewards deposited
- Pool duration
- Total tokens staked
As more users stake, APR adjusts in real-time. Stakers always see accurate, honest returns.
Flexible Staking
Let users stake and unstake anytime. Lower commitment, broader appeal.
Locked Staking
Require stakers to lock for a set period (7 days, 30 days, 1 year, etc.). Higher commitment = better for your tokenomics.
Reflection Rewards
Pay staking rewards in a different token than what's being staked.
Examples:
- Stake your token, earn USDC
- Stake your token, earn SOL
- Stake your token, earn a partner token
This is powerful for projects that want to distribute stablecoin rewards or create cross-project partnerships.
How to Create Your Staking Pool
Step 1: Go to For Projects Page
Visit stakepoint.app/for-projects and connect your Solana wallet.
Step 2: Click "Create Pool"
The pool creation modal will open. You'll configure everything in one simple interface.
Step 3: Select Your Token
Choose the token you want to create a staking pool for. We automatically detect whether it's SPL or Token-2022.
Step 4: Configure Pool Settings
Set your pool parameters:
- Reward amount - How many tokens to distribute as rewards
- Pool duration - How long the pool runs (30 days, 90 days, 1 year, etc.)
- Lock period - Optional lock time for stakers (or leave flexible)
- Reflection rewards - Optional rewards in a different token (SOL, USDC, etc.)
Step 5: Pay & Deploy
Pay the 1 SOL creation fee and sign the transactions. Your pool deploys on-chain in seconds.
Step 6: Share With Your Community
Your pool is now live on StakePoint's main pools page. You also get:
- A dedicated pool link to share
- An embed widget for your own website
- Real-time stats and staker tracking
What It Costs
1 SOL - One-time pool creation fee to deploy your pool on-chain.

Why Staking Matters for Your Project
Without staking:
- Token launches
- Early buyers take profit
- Continuous sell pressure
- Price bleeds down
- Community loses interest
With staking:
- Token launches
- Early buyers stake for rewards instead of selling
- Reduced circulating supply
- Price stabilizes or grows
- Community stays engaged, earns passive income
Staking transforms paper-handed traders into committed holders.
Token-2022 Projects: This Is For You
If you launched a Token-2022 token, you've probably discovered that most DeFi infrastructure doesn't support you yet.
DEX aggregators, staking platforms, and yield farms were built for SPL tokens. Token-2022 compatibility is an afterthought - if it exists at all.
StakePoint built Token-2022 support from day one. Our smart contracts handle:
- Transfer tax deductions correctly
- Interest-bearing token calculations
- All extension types
- Proper decimal handling
You don't need to compromise on features or find workarounds. Just launch your pool like any SPL project would.
What Project Owners Are Saying
Projects using StakePoint staking pools report:
- 40-60% of token supply staked within first month
- Significant reduction in daily sell volume
- Increased community engagement and retention
- New marketing angle ("Stake and earn rewards")
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. Connect wallet, configure pool, pay fee, sign transactions - done.
How is APR calculated?
APR is calculated automatically: (Reward Amount ÷ Pool Duration) relative to Total Staked. It updates in real-time as more users stake.
Can I change settings after launch?
Pool parameters are set at creation for security. You can launch additional pools with different configurations.
What if I have a reflection/tax token?
We support reflection tokens and transfer tax tokens (Token-2022). The rewards calculation accounts for taxes automatically.
Do I need to provide all rewards upfront?
Yes - you deposit reward tokens when creating the pool. This guarantees stakers receive their promised rewards.
Can I have multiple pools?
Yes. Many projects run multiple pools with different lock periods to give holders options.
Where does my pool appear?
Your pool is listed on stakepoint.app/pools alongside all other pools. You also get a direct link to share.
Can I embed staking on my website?
Yes. We provide an embed widget so you can add staking directly to your project's website.
