# Liquid staking

For those who want the flexibility of staking while keeping their assets liquid, we offer liquid staking through our token [rkSOL](https://starke.finance/rksol), built in partnership with Sanctum.

* You can acquire rkSOL tokens through any wallet of Solana aggregator and it represents your staked position in Starke Validator.
* rkSOL accrues rewards automatically, just like native staking, but can also be used across Solana DeFi protocols.
* This ensures your assets remain liquid.

**How rewards are shared:**

* Starke Finance charges 0% validator commission, redistributing 100% of the block rewards proportional to rkSOL’s share of our validator’s total stake.
  * Example: if rkSOL represents 100K SOL out of a total 200K SOL staked, it will receive 50% of all block rewards.
* Sanctum applies a 2.5% protocol fee on top.

With rkSOL, you get the best of both worlds: secure staking rewards, plus the ability to use your staked assets throughout the Solana ecosystem.
