# Certified

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 These wallets are auto-generated by the protocol and cannot be accessed or withdrawn by the project founders or token creators.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.
