Staking SOL has always been simple: lock it, secure the network, earn rewards. But traditional staking leaves your assets idle. Solayer changes that by introducing restaking — letting your SOL continue earning while also securing new services across the Solana ecosystem.
How Solayer Works
Restaking: Your staked SOL (or Liquid Staking Tokens like sSOL) can now be used to power multiple applications simultaneously, generating extra rewards.
AVS (Actively Validated Services): Projects can leverage Solana’s security via Solayer, letting your SOL help secure new apps while you earn incentives.
Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): sSOL and sUSD can be used across DeFi, giving your staked SOL double utility.
The Tokens That Matter
sSOL: Liquid staking token, usable anywhere in DeFi
sUSD: Yield-bearing stablecoin pegged to $1
$LAYER: Governance and incentive token capturing ecosystem growth
Why It Matters
More ways to earn from the same SOL
Strengthens Solana’s ecosystem
Unlocks restaking and cross-app utility in DeFi
Risks to Keep in Mind
Restaking carries risk. Poorly performing AVSs could lead to partial losses (slashing). Higher rewards mean higher exposure — know your risk tolerance.
The Takeaway
Solayer isn’t just staking — it’s maximizing the utility of your SOL, giving you more earning potential while building a stronger Solana ecosystem. Why let your coins sit idle when they can work harder for you?
