MoonPay Pots (deprecated)

MoonPay Pots was a liquid earning program that allowed you to earn rewards on your Solana (SOL) and USDC (on Solana) through liquid staking (mpSOL). This feature has been deprecated and is no longer available for new staking.

Updated yesterday

Who can use this feature?

The Pots withdrawal feature is only visible to users with an existing staked balance.

What's changed


MoonPay Pots has been deprecated due to low adoption. New staking and Pot creation are no longer available. If you have an existing staked balance, you can still view your Pot and withdraw your funds at any time — there is no lock-up or waiting period.

How to withdraw from your Pot


  1. Open the MoonPay app
    On your home screen, scroll to the Earnings section. Tap on My Pot to view your earnings balance.

  2. Tap the Withdraw button
    Inside your Pot view, tap Withdraw to begin the withdrawal process

  3. Enter the amount you want to withdraw
    Use the number pad to input the amount of SOL or USDC SOL (or fiat equivalent) you'd like to move out of your Pot. The withdrawal will go directly to your MoonPay balance.

  4. Swipe to confirm
    Swipe the button at the bottom to finalize your withdrawal.

  5. Success!
    You'll see a confirmation screen confirming your withdrawal. Your SOL or USDC SOL is immediately accessible — no delays or lockups.

What happens to my mpSOL?


When you added SOL to a Pot, your staked position was represented by a liquid staking token (LST) called mpSOL, issued by the Sanctum protocol. Your SOL was staked with a validator operated by Kiln. MoonPay does not have custody of your SOL, USDC SOL, or mpSOL. Even though Pots has been deprecated, you can still access and redeem your mpSOL independently at any time using any Solana-compatible wallet or interface — you don't need MoonPay to do this.

FAQs


Can I still add SOL or USDC SOL to a Pot?

No. New staking and Pot creation are no longer available. You can only withdraw your existing staked balance.

How do I withdraw my funds?

You can withdraw at any time from the Earnings section of the app. Your SOL or USDC SOL will be available instantly — there is no lock-up or waiting period.

What if I want to convert my withdrawn SOL or USDC SOL to another token?

Once withdrawn, you can convert your SOL or USDC SOL to another token (like BTC or ETH) using the Convert tab in the app. Swap fees may apply.

Can I access my mpSOL without MoonPay?

Yes. Your mpSOL is non-custodial and always in your control. You can unstake or redeem it using any Solana-compatible wallet or interface, even without MoonPay.

Are there any risks I should know about before withdrawing?

Withdrawing from your Pot carries no lock-up risk — funds are available instantly. However, your holdings remain subject to SOL market price movements until withdrawn. For more information on general crypto asset risks, see the MoonPay Rails' Risk Disclosures.
