Solayer – Making SOL Work Twice
I’m looking at @Solayer , a new restaking protocol built for Solana. The idea’s simple: you already earn yield when you stake SOL or hold LSTs like mSOL, JitoSOL, bSOL. With Solayer, you can restake those same tokens to secure extra services (bridges, oracles, automation tools, etc.) and get paid again.
That means stacked rewards — your base staking yield plus whatever the AVSs (Actively Validated Services) give you.
Why it matters
Solana moves fast, but middleware like bridges or oracles usually rely on small committees or trust assumptions. Restaking fixes that by letting those services borrow security from the huge pool of staked SOL. Safer for the network, better yields for stakers.
How it works
I put in SOL or an LST.
Pick which services (AVSs) I want to secure.
Keep my base yield + earn extra rewards.
If I choose liquid restaking, I also get a token I can move around in DeFi.
What I like about it
Extra yield without new capital.
Liquidity stays open with LRTs.
Choice to rebalance if rewards shift.
Bigger vision
The team isn’t just stopping at restaking. They’re building InfiniSVM, a high-performance Solana VM aiming at 1M+ TPS. Instead of fragmenting the chain, they’re pushing hardware (FPGAs, SmartNICs) to scale throughput while keeping everything composable.
It’s ambitious, but if they pull it off, it could keep Solana way ahead on raw performance.
Things to watch
Restaking brings slashing risk if an AVS messes up.
Rewards aren’t fixed, they shift with demand.
Smart contracts always add another layer of risk.
Bottom line
Solayer gives me a way to make SOL work harder: stake once, restake again, and earn more while helping secure the ecosystem. The restaking side is live and usable, while the InfiniSVM vision shows how far they’re thinking ahead.
If I’m already staking SOL, restaking through Solayer feels like the natural next step.
