What the data says
MSOL
mSOL is the elder statesman of Solana liquid staking. Marinade launched it in the summer of 2021, years before the current LST field existed, and its pitch has stayed the same through every cycle since: deposit SOL, receive mSOL that appreciates against SOL as staking rewards accrue, and keep the position liquid while the underlying stake spreads across a long tail of validators — decentralization-by-design that remains Marinade's signature. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot, the pool behind mint mSoLzYCxHdYgdzU16g5QSh3i5K3z3KZK7ytfqcJm7So represents roughly $273.8 million across 149,280 holders.
The checklist translation for liquid staking tokens, since the standard one misfires here: mSOL's supply grows and shrinks with deposits and withdrawals — the stake pool mints and burns it, and that is the mechanism, not a red flag. The check that protects holders is the freeze authority, which reads revoked in this snapshot: nothing can lock your mSOL. The creator-associated share reads effectively zero, as it must for a token whose supply mirrors user deposits.
STSOL
STSOL — "Lido Staked SOL" on Solana, mint 7dHbWXmci3dT8UFYWYZweBLXgycu7Y3iL6trKn1Y7ARj — is a piece of Solana history: Lido's stSOL — the canonical legacy mint of the biggest staking provider's Solana product, which Lido deprecated in 2023. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $5.28 million across 33,248 holders — one of the widest files in the index.
A 39.8k-unit supply at $107.72 still tracks SOL's zone — the receipt is still redeemable through Lido's sunset path — across a 33k file that is the legacy airdrop-era distribution. ~$59 thousand of daily volume is a live book for a deprecated product. Freeze revoked; mint unreported.
FAQ
Which is bigger, MSOL or STSOL?
By tracked market cap: MSOL (Solana) measures $273.77M and STSOL (Solana) measures $5.28M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, MSOL or STSOL?
On the contract checks we publish: MSOL (Solana) grades A and STSOL (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have MSOL and STSOL performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show MSOL at +2.09% and STSOL at +0.99%.
The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
