Our verdict on Save SOL
6.1/10Save SOL suits Solana users who already use or are curious about Save Finance and want staking yield from a token they can post as collateral. Its main strength is that tight link between staking and lending. The main caveat is the missing audit data, modest TVL and unpublished fees, so a cautious, small test position fits better than a large deposit until you have read the Security page and docs.

What is Save SOL?
Save SOL, or saveSOL, is a liquid staking token on Solana built by the team behind Save Finance. DefiLlama describes it as a way to earn staking yield by converting SOL into saveSOL and depositing it into Save Finance as collateral.
Save itself is a lending and borrowing protocol that calls itself Solana's permissionless savings account and compares itself to Aave or Compound. The site has sections for pools, rewards, saveSOL, revenue, security and docs.
DefiLlama shows about $6.25M in TVL on Solana, down 6.9% over seven days, with the listing dating from April 2025. No audits are listed. That makes saveSOL a small product tied closely to one protocol ecosystem.
How Save SOL works
Liquid staking lets you stake SOL without locking it. You swap SOL for a receipt token, here saveSOL, which represents your staked SOL plus the staking rewards it earns. You can hold it, trade it or use it elsewhere in DeFi.
Save says saveSOL is built by its own team, and you can deposit it into Save Finance as collateral. Save is a lending market: depositors earn interest and borrowers post collateral to take loans. If collateral value drops too far, a liquidator can repay part of the loan and take collateral at a discount. The dashboard describes liquidation as permissionless.
How the stake is delegated, which validators are used and how rewards reach saveSOL holders are not described publicly, so those details should be checked in the docs.

Pros and cons
What we like
- Gives SOL holders staking yield while keeping a liquid token.
- Can be used as collateral inside the same team's lending market.
- Built by the Save team, so the token and the lending protocol are designed to work together.
- Runs on Solana, where transaction costs are generally low.
- The site links to a Security page, docs, a revenue page and a changelog.
Watch out for
- DefiLlama lists no audits for the product, and the project does not describe any audit of the saveSOL contracts.
- TVL is about $6.25M and fell 6.9% over seven days, which is small next to the largest Solana liquid staking tokens.
- Using saveSOL as collateral adds lending and liquidation risk on top of staking risk.
- The staking fee, validator set and commission are not published publicly, so the real net yield is unclear.
- The homepage dashboard showed zero values and loading placeholders when captured, so live rates could not be confirmed.
- Lending and borrowing on Solana depends on oracles, wallets and network uptime.
Save SOL fees
The project does not state a staking fee, a validator commission or borrow rates for saveSOL. DefiLlama lists no fee data for it.
Users would normally see staking and borrowing rates on the saveSOL and Pools pages of the Save site, and the docs should explain any commission. Solana network fees apply to each transaction in your wallet.
Is Save SOL safe?
DefiLlama lists zero audits for saveSOL. The homepage has a Security page, but its contents are not public, so audit status, admin keys and any past incidents could not be verified here. Read that page and the docs before depositing.
Risks include smart-contract bugs, problems with the underlying stake delegation, a saveSOL price depeg from SOL, and oracle or liquidation risk if you borrow against it. Nothing here is financial advice, and you should only use funds you can afford to lose.
