### What you’re minting (fees, supply, and liquidity)

$genSOL represents Toby’s Chapter 1 staked SOL.&#x20;

Upon depositing SOL, users receive genSOL at a 1:1 ratio, and the underlying SOL is staked on Solana for the duration of the holding period.&#x20;

Early participants in the program will accrue the highest rewards. Supply will be initially limited and will expand through capped Genesis tranches to welcome new the stakers.

0% deposit or withdraw fees on stake.

### Staking: SOL → genSOL

Steps for stakers,

1. Go to <https://app.toby.foundation>&#x20;
2. Connect your wallet on mainnet and open the Stake tab.&#x20;
3. Enter the SOL amount and click Stake, and go through the staking process.&#x20;
4. Upon completion, genSOL appears in your wallet.&#x20;

Minting is immediate, provided the cap has not been reached.

\
**genSOL tranches ramp like this:**&#x20;

* The first tranche begins at 10,000 genSOL.
* Once filled, there will be a short cooldown to snapshot and refill.
* There will be multiple tranches, but getting into the early tranches has the greatest benefits.
* You can simply hold genSOL for points, or deploy it in DeFi platforms that are working with us.

By holding genSOL, you will instantly begin to accrue Pearls.

### Unstaking: genSOL → SOL

Open the **Unstake** tab and choose your mode:

* **Instant Unstake (Swap)**: Get SOL immediately at the current pool quote. There’s no market quote and no swap step; review the net amount, approve one transaction, and SOL returns to your wallet as soon as it finalizes.
* **Delayed Unstake (Unbond)**: Start a delayed unstake and claim at the next epoch. The 0.1% INFinity fee is included in the quote; You return later to withdraw when the epoch completes. Choose this when you’re comfortable waiting through the network’s unbond cycle to avoid price impacts.

### Why we chose Sanctum?

Chapter 1 is about reliability.&#x20;

Sanctum’s INF pool provides deep, purpose-built liquidity for genSOL↔SOL, so stake / unstaking don’t bottleneck during busy windows. Sanctum is widely trusted among Solana users, and all transaction settlement is a single transaction. That keeps the UX predictable while we scale tranches and integrate more venues, while shipping Toby’s next products beyond Chapter 1.

### Quick tSOL heads-up (for later chapters)

When tSOL, Toby’s native LST, launches, the app will offer a one-click migrate path. For Chapter 1, just mint/hold/use genSOL, and use it across DeFi platforms.
