SolCard Launches SOLC Staking With 4 Card Benefit Tiers
SolCard launched SOLC staking on October 22, 2026, with 4 tiers of card benefits: extra Drops entries, card issuance fee waivers and spending rewards. RevShare is ending, with its final distribution scheduled for October 27 at approximately 21:00 UTC.
Benefits start at 10,000 SOLC
The launch tiers include the benefits of lower tiers:
- Essential: at least 10,000 SOLC gives 2x Drops entries, optional automatic entry and withdrawals from card balance to crypto without a SolCard withdrawal fee.
- Preferred: at least 50,000 SOLC gives 3x entries and 2 card issuance fee waivers per 12 months.
- Signature: at least 250,000 SOLC gives 4x entries, 10 issuance waivers per 12 months, staker-only Drops and 1% rewards on eligible spending funded by crypto top-ups, capped at $125 monthly.
- Private: at least 1,000,000 SOLC gives 5x entries, unlimited issuance waivers subject to a 15-card simultaneous holding limit, dedicated support, and rewards of 1.25% for crypto-funded spending or 1% for spending funded by standard-fee stablecoin top-ups. Both rates share a $500 monthly cap.
Issuance waivers cover Virtual or Platinum cards, up to $50 per card. They require KYC and 7 consecutive days at the qualifying tier. Allowances run in 12-month periods from the first stake, do not roll over, and permit only 1 unused waiver per card type at a time.
Rewards require spending after a qualifying top-up
Rewards use the net top-up amount after fees matched to actual card spending; topping up alone earns nothing. The rate uses the lower tier held at top-up and spending. Stablecoin top-ups with discounted or zero fees are excluded, and some card programs are ineligible. Monthly caps reset on the 1st of each month in UTC.
The Signature cap of $125 is reached at $12,500 of crypto-funded spending in a month; the shared Private cap of $500 is reached at $40,000 of crypto-funded or $50,000 of stablecoin-funded spending. Spending beyond that point in the same month earns no further rewards.
Each reward is pending for 7 days from purchase processing, then becomes claimable. A tier downgrade during that period cancels that pending reward in full; partial unstaking that preserves the tier does not. Released rewards do not expire and remain claimable after unstaking. The minimum net claim is $10, with only 1 open claim allowed. Payment is in USDT or USDC to the first linked Solana wallet without a SolCard fee, or to the card with normal top-up fees deducted.
Staking uses a linked Solana wallet
Participation requires an active account in good standing and compliance with usual age, verification, geographic and sanctions restrictions. SOLC can be staked from a linked Solana wallet and unstaked at any time. Up to 5 wallets can be linked; links cannot be removed or replaced. Benefits normally activate within minutes; restaking after unstaking can trigger up to 7 days of warm-up. An account reasonably determined to be linked to another account that previously staked can face up to 30 days.
