# corvusSOL (/platform/corvussol)

> corvusSOL is the Corvus Solana liquid staking token: the mint address, protocol rate versus market price, and how the two exit routes differ.



corvusSOL is a liquid staking token for SOL delegated to the [Corvus validator](/platform/validator). It sits in your wallet, transferable and usable as collateral, while the stake underneath it earns.

`CorvuSSoL` is a vanity prefix, so match the tail.

## Mint and redeem

Mint corvusSOL through [Sanctum](https://app.sanctum.so/explore/corvusSOL). You can unstake through the same interface, with no lock-up period.

## Rates and exits

The protocol rate is corvusSOL's value in SOL inside the staking program. An unstake settles against that rate, on Solana's epoch schedule, and it isn't always offered at your size. A swap settles against route liquidity instead, immediately. A gap between the two is a market-side depeg rather than something wrong with the stake. Which of the two routes you actually have depends on the venue.
