What the data says
PSOL
pSOL is what happens when the stake button lives inside the wallet everyone already uses. Phantom — the default wallet of a huge share of Solana users — put one-tap staking in front of its user base, and pSOL, at mint pSo1f9nQXWgXibFtKf7NWYxb5enAM4qfP6UJSiXRQfL, is the receipt. The distribution shows it: 114,519 holders as of the October 6, 2026 snapshot, third-most of any liquid staking token this site tracks, across roughly $192.5 million of stake — an average position measured in hundreds of dollars, not hundreds of thousands. This is the retail LST.
That consumer profile is pSOL's most meaningful safety property, in both directions. Positively: ownership this dispersed can't be destabilized by any single exit, and Phantom's incentive to keep its in-wallet product boring and reliable is existential — a staking scandal inside the wallet would cost far more than the product earns. The trade-off: many pSOL holders tapped a button without learning what a liquid staking token is, so it's worth saying plainly — pSOL's price floats against SOL, can dip below backing in stressed markets, and full redemption runs on staking timelines, not instantly.
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, PSOL or STSOL?

Which is safer, PSOL or STSOL?
On the contract checks we publish: PSOL (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 PSOL and STSOL performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show PSOL at +1.97% 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.
