5 criteria · check each one
  • ✗

    Regulation

    Decentralized protocol, not a licensed entity — no regulator or custodian to fall back on. Legitimacy rests on audits and on-chain transparency. Source →

  • ✓

    Proof-of-Reserves

    Fully on-chain and non-custodial; the mSOL contract is governed by a 6-of-13 multisig and every position is publicly verifiable. Source →

  • ✓

    Flexible withdrawal

    mSOL is liquid — instant unstake is available (fee applies), or delayed unstake in about one epoch (~2 days). Source →

  • ✓

    Insurance Fund

    Partial protection via Protected Staking Rewards — validators post a SOL bond that covers downtime and commission changes (not smart-contract failure). Source →

  • ✓

    Track record (2+ years incident-free)

    No hacks or smart-contract exploits since the August 2021 launch; only brief 2–3% mSOL deviations during market stress. SOC 2 Type I & II certified. Source →
