Current issue: Staking capital is being 'frozen'

The emergence of the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism has helped eliminate enormous costs from mining, but at the same time created a new problem:

  • ETH staked on Ethereum only serves to secure Ethereum itself.

  • SOL staked on Solana also helps reinforce the Solana network.

The consequence is: billions of dollars worth of assets are locked up, yielding no additional benefits other than protecting a single blockchain.

The mission of Solayer: Unlocking the full potential of staking

@Solayer was born to change this. The platform allows staking capital to be transformed into a multitasking resource:

  • Users can stake SOL, mSOL, jitoSOL, or LP tokens.

  • Assets that are restaked can simultaneously participate in securing various systems: app-chains, rollups, bridges, oracles.

  • Earn additional profits while maintaining liquidity to continue participating in DeFi.

For example: A validator that only secures Solana, can simultaneously secure a Cosmos app-chain, an oracle network, and a bridge protocol → generating multiple times the profit without needing additional capital.

Why is Solana the ideal platform for Solayer?

  1. Speed & Scale

    • Solana has the ability to achieve finality in under 1 second, enabling quick, safe staking, slashing, and reward distribution.

  2. Smart Coordination Mechanism

    • Solayer uses Solana's state machine as a 'common arbitrator', simplifying and making integration with external services (AVSs) straightforward and transparent.

  3. Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs)

    • When restaking, assets are not 'locked up'.

    • They become LRTs, which can be reused within the Solana DeFi ecosystem: as collateral, providing liquidity, trading, and much more.

LAYER The heart of the Solayer ecosystem

  • Governance: LAYER token holders participate in voting decisions: which services are integrated, slashing mechanisms, fee levels.

  • Rewards: AVSs must pay service fees, which will be redistributed back to stakers and validators.

  • Safety Net: In the case of extreme risk, LAYER acts as a collateral asset, reinforcing trust in the overall system's security.

The future Solayer is aiming for

  • New blockchains can launch with high-level security from day one.

  • Solana becomes the security hub of the entire Web3, connecting multiple ecosystems.

  • Stakers do not simply 'lock capital' to secure a chain, but will become intelligent capital allocators, securing while earning profits from multiple services simultaneously.

🔥 Summary

  • Staking with Solayer is not locked, but always liquid.

  • Security is no longer fragmented, but shared.

  • The future is not separate, but interconnected.

👉 Solayer is the era of super flexible, multi-chain staking built on Solana. #BuiltonSolayer $LAYER
