Escrow Wallet Pools (Certified Badge)

When you stake your SPL tokens into a certified pool, your funds go into an escrow wallet. These wallets are auto-generated by the protocol and cannot be accessed or withdrawn by the project founders or token creators.


Staking rewards are also pre-loaded into the escrow wallet.

The certified badge guarantees that no single party controls the funds, giving you added security and transparency when staking.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wp.gotmlabz.io/spl-token-staking/certified.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
