If you still see Solayer merely as a 're-staking protocol', you are underestimating it.
It is more like Solana's OpenAI: transforming the liquidity of SOL that was originally dormant in the network into a market for driving on-chain security and computation.
In other words, Solayer is not just about generating yield; it is building a 'secure computational energy layer' for Solana — all AVS (Active Verification Services), new applications, and cross-chain solutions can call upon this decentralized security and computational power as if calling for electricity.
1. Why is Solayer = 'Security Energy Layer'?
Re-staking as energy*: SOL originally locked in staking contracts is essentially idle security capital;
Solayer transforms it into reusable security computing*, allowing every SOL to be 'used in multiple ways';
Just like the electricity market, security is abstracted as infrastructure, supplied for upper-layer applications to call upon.
2. Analogy with OpenAI
OpenAI: Transforming computing power and data into 'intelligent output';
Solayer: Transforming staking capital and network security into 'callable security';
In the future, the operation of all AVS on Solana may be secured through Solayer's security energy layer.
3. The Significance of Solana
Security spillover: Expanding from the security of a single L1 to radiate to cross-chain protocols, DePIN, and data availability layers;
Yield stacking: User earnings come not only from LST but from the compound interest of multiple security markets;
Ecosystem collaboration: Providing Solana with a 'security amplification effect' similar to EigenLayer in the Ethereum ecosystem.
4. Future Outlook
Marketization of AVS: Applications can bid for security (similar to the electricity spot market);
Cross-chain security as a service: Solayer may evolve into a 'security API', allowing other chains to access on demand;
AI + blockchain integration: AI protocols can also obtain decentralized execution guarantees through Solayer.
Conclusion
Solayer is not a yield platform, but the security energy hub of Solana.
It may allow Solana's re-staking to become a prototype of a global security computing market, just as OpenAI opened the door to the intelligent era.
