Token-2022 Staking: The Only Platform Supporting Solana's New Token Standard

StakePoint is the only Solana staking platform with full Token-2022 support. Transfer tax tokens, interest-bearing tokens, and all Token-2022 extensions work correctly. Pool creation takes 5 minutes and costs 1 SOL.

The Token-2022 Problem

StakePoint is the only Solana staking platform with full Token-2022 support. Most staking platforms were built for classic SPL tokens — their smart contracts cannot handle Token-2022 extensions. Transfer taxes break their calculations. Interest-bearing mechanics cause accounting errors. Metadata extensions cause failures entirely. StakePoint's Anchor smart contract was built from day one to support both SPL and Token-2022 tokens equally, including all extension types and combinations. Pool creation takes 5 minutes and costs 1 SOL.

StakePoint: Built for Token-2022

StakePoint is the only staking platform on Solana with native Token-2022 support.

We didn't bolt it on as an afterthought. Our smart contracts were designed from day one to handle both SPL and Token-2022 tokens equally.

What works on StakePoint with Token-2022:

  • Transfer tax tokens - Tax deductions calculated correctly on stake/unstake
  • Interest-bearing tokens - Proper accounting for accrued interest
  • Metadata extensions - Full compatibility
  • All extension combinations - Whatever you built, it works

Same 5-minute setup. Same 1 SOL deployment cost. Same features as SPL tokens.

Why Other Platforms Don't Support Token-2022

Token-2022 uses a different program ID than classic SPL tokens. The transfer mechanics are different. Extensions add complexity.

For platforms built in 2023 or earlier, adding Token-2022 support means:

  • Rewriting smart contracts
  • New security audits
  • Testing edge cases for every extension type
  • Maintaining two parallel systems

Most platforms decided it wasn't worth the effort. They're waiting to see if Token-2022 adoption grows first.

Meanwhile, projects like yours are stuck.

What You Get With StakePoint

Automatic Token Detection

When you create a pool, we automatically detect whether your token is SPL or Token-2022. No special configuration needed.

Correct Tax Handling

If your token has transfer taxes, our contracts account for this. The amount staked reflects what actually lands in the vault, not what was sent.

Full Extension Support

Whatever Token-2022 extensions you're using - confidential transfers, transfer hooks, permanent delegate, non-transferable - our infrastructure handles it.

Same Features as SPL

Token-2022 projects get access to everything:

  • Variable APR based on rewards and duration
  • Flexible or locked staking
  • Reflection rewards (if your token has built-in reflections)
  • Embeddable widget for your website
  • Dedicated pool URL

How to Launch Your Token-2022 Staking Pool

Step 1: Visit For Projects

Go to stakepoint.app/for-projects and connect your wallet.

Step 2: Click Create Pool

Select your Token-2022 token from your wallet. We automatically detect the token standard.

Step 3: Configure Your Pool

Set your parameters:

  • Reward amount - Tokens to distribute as staking rewards
  • Pool duration - We recommend 365+ days for best staker returns
  • Lock period - Optional lock requirement for stakers

Step 4: Deploy

Pay 1 SOL and sign the transactions. Your pool goes live immediately.

Step 5: Share

Get your unique pool URL and embed code. Share with your community and add staking directly to your website.

Reflection Tokens on Token-2022

If your Token-2022 token has built-in reflection mechanics (automatically distributing to holders), StakePoint handles this correctly.

Reflections sent to staked tokens accumulate in our vault and are distributed proportionally to stakers. Your holders don't miss out on reflections while staked - they receive them when claiming.

This is particularly valuable for tax tokens where a percentage of every transaction goes to holders. Stakers continue earning those reflections.

Real Talk: Why We Built This

Token-2022 adoption is growing. Projects want the new features - transfer taxes for automatic burns or rewards, metadata for better token identity, interest-bearing mechanics for creative tokenomics.

But infrastructure hasn't kept up. Builders are launching innovative tokens and then discovering they can't plug into existing DeFi.

We saw the gap and built for it. Token-2022 projects deserve the same staking options as everyone else.

Common Questions

Will my transfer tax affect staking?

Yes, but correctly. If you have a 5% transfer tax, the amount staked is after tax. We calculate APR based on actual staked amounts.

Do I need to do anything special to enable Token-2022?

No. Just select your token when creating a pool. We detect the token standard automatically.

Can Token-2022 tokens have reflection rewards?

Yes, if your token has built-in reflection mechanics. Reflections accumulate in our vault and distribute to stakers proportionally.

What Token-2022 extensions do you support?

All of them. Transfer taxes, interest-bearing, metadata, permanent delegate, confidential transfers, transfer hooks - if Solana supports it, we support it.

Is the cost different for Token-2022?

No. Same 1 SOL pool creation fee as SPL tokens.
