Question 12

I clicked unstake, but I don't see my funds in my wallet. Where did my funds go?

After unstaking from the Jito stake pool, your JitoSOL becomes an active stake account. You must manually deactivate and withdraw it to get SOL.

I deposited a stake account for JitoSOL but now it's stuck in the Interceptor. What's happening?

This is normal. The Interceptor holds JitoSOL for 10 hours as protection, then automatically delivers it to you. You earn rewards during this time.
