docs: Add stake programming documentation (#14529)
* Add stake programming documentation We had some questions about stake programming documentation, and there wasn't a place that contained information about the stake-o-matic and other stake development in one place. This adds a page with that information. * Update docs/src/staking/stake-programming.md Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com> * Update docs/src/staking/stake-programming.md Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com> * Update docs/src/staking/stake-programming.md Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com> * Update docs/src/staking/stake-programming.md Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com> * Update docs/src/staking/stake-programming.md Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com> * Apply suggestions from code review * Remove trailing whitespace Co-authored-by: Eric Williams <eric@solana.com>

title: Stake Programming
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
To maximize stake distribution, decentralization, and censorship resistance on
|
||||
the Solana network, staking can be performed programmatically. The team
|
||||
and community have developed several on-chain and off-chain programs to make
|
||||
stakes easier to manage.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stake-o-matic aka Auto-delegation Bots
|
||||
This off-chain program manages a large population of validators staked by a
|
||||
central authority. The Solana Foundation uses an auto-delegation bot to regularly delegate its
|
||||
stake to "non-delinquent" validators that meet specified performance requirements. More information can be found on the
|
||||
[official announcement](https://forums.solana.com/t/stake-o-matic-delegation-matching-program/790).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stake Pools
|
||||
This on-chain program pools together SOL to be staked by a manager, allowing SOL
|
||||
holders to stake and earn rewards without managing stakes.
|
||||
Users deposit SOL in exchange for SPL tokens (staking derivatives) that represent their ownership in the stake pool. The pool
|
||||
manager stakes deposited SOL according to their strategy, perhaps using a variant
|
||||
of an auto-delegation bot as described above. As stakes earn rewards, the pool and pool tokens
|
||||
grow proportionally in value. Finally, pool token holders can send SPL tokens
|
||||
back to the stake pool to redeem SOL, thereby participating in decentralization with much
|
||||
less work required. More information can be found at the
|
||||
[SPL stake pool documentation](https://spl.solana.com/stake-pool).
