If you think staking is just a boring operation of 'locking assets for rewards', Solayer may change your perspective. It is a restaking protocol on Solana, emphasizing 'don't let your SOL sit idle'. Simply put, Solayer is like giving SOL multithreading: a single asset can do more than one thing and can be reused repeatedly.

What is new about Solayer?

Traditional staking is like putting money in the bank for interest, with a very straightforward logic. Solayer adds a layer of 'restaking' on this basis. When you deposit SOL into Solayer, it gives you a 'receipt' — sSOL. This receipt is not just for show; it can circulate, trade, and provide liquidity in various DeFi applications, effectively creating an additional revenue stream.

This means you can receive the basic rewards from staking while also using sSOL to continue earning in other protocols, deriving multiple yields from a single asset.

Its gameplay combination

Solayer does not rely solely on sSOL; it has a complete set of supporting facilities.

Restaking Pool Manager: Responsible for centrally managing user staking funds, helping you split and allocate, maximizing efficiency.

Delegation Manager: Allocates sSOL to different nodes and services to ensure resources are not wasted.

Reward Accounting Unit: Automatically calculates yields, eliminating concerns about miscalculating.

Oracle: Maintains the exchange rate between sSOL and SOL to avoid user losses.

From the user's perspective, the logic is straightforward: I deposit SOL, receive sSOL, and then continue to operate within the ecosystem. All the complex allocations and yield settlements in the background are handled by Solayer.

In addition to sSOL, there is also sUSD.

Solayer has also launched a stablecoin sUSD. What makes this token special is that it is linked to the yield of U.S. Treasury bonds, with an annualized rate of about 4%–5%. For more conservative players, sUSD acts as a low-risk yield supplement, adding more use cases to the entire protocol.

Technical Highlights: InfiniSVM

Solana itself is already fast enough, but Solayer has introduced InfiniSVM. It utilizes hardware acceleration to elevate verification and computation performance. For users, this means faster transaction confirmations, more stable application operations, and stronger scalability for the entire ecosystem. This aspect makes Solayer not only an innovation in financial gameplay but also raises the bar in terms of performance.

Data Performance

From the data, Solayer has attracted considerable funds since its launch, with a TVL (Total Value Locked) reaching as high as $490 million. Although market fluctuations have caused some decline later, the ability to attract such a large amount of funds in a short time indicates that users recognize its model. After all, the Solana ecosystem is expanding, and Solayer, as a native restaking protocol, naturally has advantages.

Why?

Yield Stacking: You no longer have to struggle with 'staking or DeFi', both can run in parallel on Solayer.

Ecosystem Expansion: By allocating AVS and nodes, the protocol not only serves users but also enhances the overall security of Solana.

Diverse Assets: sSOL is more flexible, sUSD is more stable, meeting the needs of different users.

Technical Support: InfiniSVM ensures the protocol does not drop the ball due to high concurrency.

Solayer adds new twists to the staking gameplay of Solana, allowing a single SOL to create more value. Its approach is not to 'replace staking' but to 'upgrade staking': preserving the original security yield while enhancing the liquidity and use cases of assets.

Among numerous DeFi protocols, Solayer has a clear direction: maximizing asset efficiency, diversifying yield combinations, and strengthening underlying performance. If Solana itself is a highway, then Solayer has opened up 'multi-lanes', allowing your SOL to run steadily while overtaking.
