About multiplied directed stake
Multiplied directed stake enables you to increase the impact of your staked SOL. By leveraging this feature, when you stake a certain amount of SOL towards a specific validator, The Vault amplifies this support, effectively directing your whole leveraged amount to the chosen validator. This means your contribution has a significantly greater effect on the validator's stake weight and performance within the network.
Multiply your directed stake
This is how multiplied directed stake works.
Set your wallet to your validator
On the Direct Stake page, choose the validator you want to support, tap Direct Stake and approve the transaction. For the steps, see How to direct stake.
Stake your SOL
Stake SOL through The Vault to mint vSOL in the same wallet.
Use Kamino Multiply
Deposit your vSOL from that wallet to Kamino Multiply and apply a preferred leverage (up to 7.5x). For the steps, see How to use the Kamino Multiply strategy.
The Vault then applies the same multiplier to your staked amount, directing the amplified stake to your chosen validator.
For example, if you stake 100 SOL towards a validator and apply 5x leverage on Kamino Multiply, The Vault will amplify this to 500 SOL in directed stake (Figure 12.9).

Benefits of multiplied directed stake
- Enhanced validator performance: increased stake can improve a validator's ranking and performance in the Solana network.
- Greater influence: your staked SOL has a more substantial impact, allowing you to support and promote validators you believe in effectively.
- Community empowerment: encourages active participation and support within the Solana ecosystem, strengthening the network's decentralization and security.
Considerations
While multiplied directed stake offers significant benefits, it's essential to consider the following:
- Risk assessment: amplifying your stake involves increased exposure. Ensure you understand the associated risks and that they align with your investment strategy.
- Validator reliability: choose validators with a proven track record of reliability and performance to maximize the benefits of your amplified stake.
- Unwinding the position: it is recommended to unwind the position in small tranches to minimize slippage and avoid unnecessary losses.
- Stay informed: keep abreast of any updates or changes to The Vault's staking mechanisms and terms of service.
