elSOL, a Solana LST, Introduces a New Staking UI. A Fully Rebuilt Interface With Improved Input Support, Performance, and Stability, Enabling Migration and Withdrawals Directly in the App
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, the Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have updated the staking UI for the Solana Liquid Staking Token (LST) “elSOL”.
This update replaces the previously used Dialect Blinks-based staking component with a fully custom implementation. The new UI improves input assistance, operational speed, and stability. Staking, unstaking, stake account migration, deactivation, and SOL withdrawal can now all be performed directly within the elSOL application in a simplified flow.

Background: Limitations of Dialect Blinks in the Previous Staking UI
The previous elSOL staking UI utilized Dialect Blinks. While Dialect Blinks allows rapid UI development, it has limitations in form functionality and input handling. As a result, important interface elements such as balance-based input, percentage shortcuts, validation, and clear state transitions could not be sufficiently supported.
In addition, the structure occasionally caused alerts to appear in certain wallets such as Phantom, which contributed to a degraded user experience.
To address these issues, the staking UI has been rebuilt from scratch to improve clarity, stability, and operational guidance.
Overview of the New UI
The updated staking interface includes the following improvements:
- Enhanced input support (balance reference, percentage input, rate display, context-based guidance)
- Faster and more stable operation
- Improved wallet behavior by removing structures that previously triggered unnecessary alerts
- A unified flow where staking, unstaking, migration, deactivation, and withdrawals can all be completed in-app
Features: Stake / Unstake / Migrate
Stake (SOL to elSOL)
Stake SOL into the elSOL pool to receive elSOL.
Unstake (elSOL to SOL)
Unstake elSOL back to SOL.
Unstaked SOL is returned as a stake account. Deactivation and SOL withdrawal are handled through the “Migrate Stake” tab.
Unstaked SOL is returned as a stake account. Deactivation and SOL withdrawal are handled through the “Migrate Stake” tab.
Migrate Stake (Manage Stake Accounts, Deactivate, Withdraw)
Select a stake account and choose an action based on its state.
- Migrate to elSOL (convert stake account into elSOL)
- Deactivate
- Withdraw (available once the stake account reaches the eligible state after deactivation)
Stake accounts in a Deactivating state can be withdrawn after the required epoch transition.
Why elSOL Can Achieve a High APY
elSOL redesigns Solana staking not only as a source of rewards but also as a resource that governs network bandwidth under Solana’s Stake-weighted Quality of Service (SWQoS). elSOL’s reward structure is based on the following three components:
-
Maximizing staking rewards through a 0% commission
All elSOL validators operate with a 0% commission, avoiding unnecessary reduction of staking rewards. -
Returning 20% of validator block rewards to the pool
elSOL validators contribute 20% of their block reward profits back to the elSOL pool every epoch. -
Additional rewards through the SWQoS bandwidth market (SSP / VLD)
SSP generated from stake can be listed as bandwidth in the SWQoS market. If purchased, VLD is paid according to the defined rate.
Unsold SSP is distributed based on usage of the shared SWQoS endpoint.

External Comparison: elSOL Ranks #1 in Sanctum Explore APY (at Time of Capture)
Sanctum Explore provides a comparative dashboard of Solana LSTs, displaying APY, total stake, holders, and other data. Over 1,000 LSTs are listed, with 1,428 displayed at the time of capture.
In the APY (10 Epochs) ranking, elSOL (Enhanced Linkage SOL) ranked first with 9.96%. This reflects the reward design described above.

Relationship Between elSOL and the Epics DAO Validator
elSOL utilizes Epics DAO validators as its underlying validator infrastructure. These validators operate with a 0% commission and 0% MEV fee to maximize value returned to participants.
The Epics DAO validator has been consistently evaluated in on-chain performance systems such as Jito StakeNet Steward, ranking within the Top 100, and is included as a delegatee in the JitoSOL pool. As of writing, total stake associated with the validator has exceeded 100,000 SOL.
As elSOL grows, validator rewards increase accordingly, and as validator rewards increase, elSOL’s yield benefits from this structure. The two systems reinforce each other by design.
