# Validator Directed Stake The Vault provides a flexible direct staking option for your SOL: * Stake your SOL directly through our dApp to support all allowlisted validators. * Alternatively, choose a specific validator and direct all your stake to them. #### Engaging Communities Validator communities are encouraged to share their validator-directed stake page with their members to maximize stake support. *** #### Tracking Your Directed Stake To ensure your directed stake is accurately tracked, keep your vSOL in one of the following: * Your Wallet * The vSOL Quarry * The Saber vSOL-SOL LP * The vSOL-SOL Quarry * Meteora DLMM (any pool with vSOL as one of the mints) * Orca Whirlpool SOL-vSOL with a 0.01% fee * Kamino Lending (Main Market & vSOL Multiply) Important: If you move your vSOL to locations outside these approved options, we lose track of your directed stake. In this case, your stake will be redirected to support all validators again. *** #### Redelegation on Return When you return your vSOL to any supported locations, we’ll automatically recognize your directed stake settings and redelegate during the next epoch. Support validators your way and stay in control of your staking preferences! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
