If you are holding and staking SOL, you are already familiar with receiving rewards for contributing to the safety of the Solana network. But Solayer brings a new advancement: Restaking – turning staked SOL or liquid staking tokens (mSOL, jitoSOL, ...) into assets that generate profit while providing security for many other applications in the ecosystem.

This means that with the same amount of SOL, you not only earn profits from regular staking but can also receive additional rewards from extended services backed by that security system.

Why is Restaking important?

The Solana ecosystem is growing at a rapid pace: a continuous emergence of DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi applications... The challenge is that each new project needs to build its own security mechanism, which is both complex and costly.

Solayer addresses this bottleneck by sharing security from the Solana staker community.

  • Instead of each project having to set up its own validator, they can leverage the power of the staked SOL.

  • As a result, applications can focus on product development while ensuring safety.

  • From the user's perspective, staking through Solayer not only protects Solana but also enhances the safety of many other applications – creating a stronger 'shared' security layer.

How Solayer works (simplified)

  1. Users stake SOL or LSTs (such as mSOL, jitoSOL).

  2. Solayer securely locks this number of tokens in the Solana system.

  3. Restaking is activated, turning staked tokens into resources for additional validation services (Active Validation Services – AVS).

  4. Users receive additional profits, beyond the original staking rewards.

You can simply imagine: you plant a seed, but at harvest time you reap two crops.

The differences of Solayer

  • Not just a copy of Ethereum's EigenLayer, but optimized specifically for Solana – a blockchain known for its high processing speed and low costs.

  • Liquid Restaking: no need to lock assets, you can still use liquid staking tokens for trading or moving while benefiting from restaking.

  • InfiniSVM: a Solana Virtual Machine accelerated by hardware, like adding a 'turbo engine' to Solana, helping restaking applications run faster and smoother.

LAYER Token – The heart of the ecosystem

The LAYER Token is not just a coin, but also the 'key' to the Solayer ecosystem:

  • Governance: allows the community to participate in shaping development directions.

  • Incentives & rewards: used to distribute benefits to stakers, validators, and integrated applications.

  • Connection: acts as an intermediary between stakers, projects, and the shared security system.

A greater impact on the Solana ecosystem

Solayer not only brings additional profits to SOL holders but also contributes to enhancing the security strength and sustainability of the entire ecosystem:

  • Attract more developers: reduce the burden of building separate security infrastructure.

  • Increase profit opportunities for SOL holders: optimize staking without facing additional major risks.

  • Reinforce network security: by allocating and sharing security among many applications.

Conclusion

Solayer is showing an important advancement: turning Solana not only into a fast and cheap blockchain but also into a pioneer in smart shared security models.

With Solayer, users simply stake as usual, but the rewards received can be doubled. This is a way to turn a familiar action into a value leverage, helping both individuals and the Solana ecosystem thrive.
