The restaking narrative has become one of the strongest themes in Web3, with protocols extending the utility of staked assets beyond basic yield. Now, Solayer is bringing this innovation to the Solana ecosystem.
What Is Solayer?
Solayer is a restaking and liquid restaking protocol built for Solana. It allows users to stake their native SOL or Solana-based liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and then use that staked capital to secure additional blockchain services and applications.
How It Works
When users deposit SOL or LSTs into Solayer:
They continue to earn standard staking rewards.
Their stake is rehypothecated to support Actively Validated Services (AVS) and other blockchain solutions.
In return, users earn additional yield for securing these extra layers of infrastructure.
This model mirrors the growth of restaking on Ethereum, but optimized for Solana’s high throughput, low fees, and fast finality.
Why It Matters
Maximized Yield → Users get more out of their staked SOL.
Ecosystem Security → AVS and decentralized services gain stronger backing.
Capital Efficiency → Staked assets are no longer “locked” to a single function.
By combining restaking and liquid restaking, Solayer creates a scalable foundation for Solana’s DeFi and infrastructure growth, while opening new income streams for long term SOL holders.
