What IS mSOL?

In stake proccess, we can exchange our Sol for mSOL, which is the staked version of SOL, and we will find it in our wallet when we exchange the SOL for the mSOL. The operation of MSOL is very similar to the Anchor protocol with UST and aUST. mSOL is a cryptocurrency that increases in value with respect to SOL without the need to have your cryptocurrencies locked in a platform. So, when a year has passed, you will be able to exchange your mSOL for SOL back and receive the same amount of SOL you indicated + the annual % APY given by the platform. Also, you can check after a few days or months, how the same amount of mSOL, will give you more SOL tokens each time, by increasing its value with the staking.
