FAQ

Is my SOL locked when I deposit?

No. You can withdraw your deposit at any time. There's no lockup period or unbonding delay on the Wick side. If you choose the unstake withdrawal method, you'll need to wait for the Solana epoch to end before you can access the SOL, but that's a Solana network constraint, not a Wick one.

Do I need to hold lanternSOL before depositing?

No. When you deposit SOL, the app mints lanternSOL for you in the same transaction. Everything happens atomically.

Can I have more than one position?

Yes. You can open a separate position for each target token. If you want yield in both USDC and CRT, just make two deposits with different target tokens selected.

What happens if I deposit twice with the same target token?

The second deposit adds to your existing position. You won't end up with two separate positions for the same target token.

How often does yield accumulate?

Yield is credited to positions when the protocol's cranker runs the harvest cycle. The frequency depends on protocol operations, but the yield itself is based on the continuous appreciation of lanternSOL relative to SOL.

What is the "Combined APY" shown for CRT?

When you select CRT as your target token, the app shows a Combined APY. This reflects the lanternSOL staking yield compounded on top of the CRT vault's own performance. The formula is:

Combined APY = Staking APY * (1 + CRT Vault APY / 100)

For example, if the staking APY is 8% and the CRT vault APY is 5%, the combined rate would be roughly 8.4%.

Why is my lanternSOL balance less than the SOL I deposited?

lanternSOL appreciates in value over time. 1 lanternSOL is worth more than 1 SOL because it includes accumulated staking rewards. So when you deposit 10 SOL, you might receive 9.8 lanternSOL, but that 9.8 lanternSOL is still worth 10 SOL. The app shows both the lanternSOL amount and the equivalent SOL value.

What fees does Wick charge?

The protocol takes a fee on yield, shown at the bottom of the page in basis points. The claimable yield you see in your position is already net of this fee.

What does "Protocol Paused" mean?

If the protocol status shows "Paused," new deposits and claims are temporarily disabled. This could be for maintenance, upgrades, or emergency situations. Your funds remain safe in the vault and withdrawals may still be available.

Which wallets are supported?

Wick works with any Solana wallet that supports standard dApp connections: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and others. If your wallet supports the Solana Wallet Adapter standard, it should work.

What if my transaction fails?

Transaction failures can happen due to network congestion, insufficient SOL for fees, or stale data. Try refreshing the page and attempting the action again. Make sure you have at least 0.05 SOL in your wallet for transaction fees.

Can I migrate a position to a different target token?

The protocol supports position migration, which lets you close a fully-settled position and open a new one with a different target token. Make sure to claim any remaining yield before migrating.
