Veteran investors know that in a bull market, one should hold coins, and in a bear market, one should manage finances. Many are looking for new ways to 'make assets move.' Staking SOL can yield returns, but that is far from enough; the DeFi world has countless combination strategies, but is often limited by capital efficiency. What we truly desire is a solution that can combine security, liquidity, and yield — and Solayer is trying to reassemble all these pieces.

Restaking + DeFi: Not just simple 1+1

In traditional staking logic, SOL is locked in the network, and users receive a single staking return. But in Solayer's model, SOL or Solana-based LST (liquid staking tokens) are no longer just 'static collateral,' but can be further restaked to provide security support for a series of AVS (Active Validation Services).

However, the more groundbreaking aspect is: these restaked assets can not only participate in network security but also directly enter the vast stage of Solana DeFi.

Providing liquidity on DEX: LST + restaking reward derivatives can combine into new LP assets, enjoying double yields.

Releasing liquidity in lending protocols: Users' assets after restaking can still be used as collateral for lending, maximizing capital utilization.

Supporting assets for stablecoins: Future stablecoin protocols can absorb restaked assets as reserve pools, gaining yields while enhancing collateral diversity.

This combination means Solayer is not just a staking tool, but a yield engine for the DeFi asset layer.

Why is Solana the ideal soil?

To achieve this financial experiment, the performance of the infrastructure is crucial. Solana's high throughput (TPS) and low latency characteristics allow restaked assets to circulate more quickly and safely across different protocols. Compared to Ethereum's congestion and high gas fees, Solana's design is more suitable for multi-layered asset strategies.

This positions Solayer on Solana not as a simple imitation of EigenLayer, but as a way to leverage the chain's performance to release more combination space.

Solayer's innovative value: From single yield to yield stacking

Solayer's greatest innovation lies in its ability to transform users from single yield to compound yield:

1. Basic staking yield: Basic rewards for holding SOL/LST.

2. Restaking yield: Additional returns earned by providing security for AVS.

3. DeFi combined yields: lending interest, DEX liquidity mining, stablecoin protocol incentives, etc.

This model essentially creates a 'yield stacking engine,' allowing the same unit of asset to capture value in multiple scenarios, forming a true compounding cycle.

Future outlook: New modules of financial Lego

DeFi is financial Lego, and Solayer provides a brand new 'restaking building block.' It not only enhances capital efficiency but also brings new imagination to Solana's entire DeFi ecosystem:

Cross-protocol yield aggregator: In the future, smart strategies may emerge to allocate restaked assets to multiple DeFi protocols with one click.

Risk hedging tools: Based on restaking derivatives, the market can design insurance or hedging products for AVS risks.

Multi-chain connection: With the development of cross-chain AVS, Solayer assets may become a bridge for cross-chain security and DeFi.@Solayer #BuiltonSolayer $LAYER
