Cycle SOL Pool Overview
cySOL is a “cycle pool”—a liquid staking design that cycles its fee structure in predictable epochs, giving DeFi users the chance to stake and unstake with 0 % net fees when planned in advance.
🔄 How Cycle Pool Works
| Epoch Cycle | Deposit Fee | Withdraw Fee | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase A (Epoch n → n + 2) | 0 % | 0.1 % | Incentivises new deposits. |
| Phase B (Epoch n + 3 → n + 5) | 0.1 % | 0 % | Incentivises exits. |
- ALTERNATING PHASES Every three epochs the fee matrix flips, so diligent users can plan a completely fee‑free round‑trip if they enter during Phase A and exit during Phase B.
- RESERVE REFILL The reserve stake account is replenished every 6 epochs, providing an opportunity for non‑staked SOL exits for most unstake requests—even large ones.
🌊 Why It Matters for DeFi
- Predictable Net 0 % Cost – ideal for leveraged strategies (e.g. Kamino Multiply).
- Instant Liquidity – periodic reserve top‑ups minimise “large slippage on withdrawal” risk.
- Composability –
cySOLis an existing stake‑pool‑standard token and integrates natively with Jupiter, lending markets, and yield aggregators.
TL;DR cySOL brings fee agility and instant exit to Solana’s liquid‑staking landscape without sacrificing validator decentralisation.
