Most People Ask the Same Question After Staking SOL: Can I Get More Earnings from the Same Asset without Much Effort? The Reality Often Is: Switching Across Multiple Protocols, Countless Signatures, Funds Constantly Exposed to Mistake Risks. The Ideal State Should Be—One-time Authorization, Automatic Routing, Visible Risks, Automatic Earnings Reinvestment. Solayer Aims to Make This 'Default'.
1. Three-layer Engine of Earnings Stacking: From 'Addition' to 'Multiplication'
Under Solayer's Paradigm, the Same Unit of Asset (SOL or LST) Can Generate Earnings on Three Independent but Composable Tracks:
1. Basic Staking Earnings (r_base)
SOL ↦ LST (or Native Staking), Acquire Base Earnings from Network Inflation/Validation Rewards.
2. Restaking Earnings (r_restake)
Restake SOL/LST to AVS (Active Validation Service), Exchange Security Contribution for Additional Rewards (which could be Points, Tokens, or Fee Sharing).
3. DeFi Portfolio Earnings (r_defi)
Solayer's Restaking Certificates Continue to Enter Lending, Market Making, Stablecoin Reserve Scenarios, Earning Interest or Trading Fee Returns.
The Key is Not 'Addition', but Multiplicative Compounding:
Effective Annualization ≈ (1 + r_base) × (1 + r_restake) × (1 + r_defi) − 1
Example (For Mechanism Demonstration Only): r_base=6%, r_restake=3%, r_defi=4%, Thus
(1.06 × 1.03 × 1.04 − 1) ≈ 13.55% (Non-linear Stacking Outperforms Simple Addition of 13%).
2. Four Design Points to Make Compounding 'Unperceived'
1. One-click Multi-step Routing (Multi-hop in One Tx)
Solayer Packages 'SOL→LST→Restake→Generate Certificates→Invest into DeFi' into One On-chain Transaction or 'Minimum Transaction Count' Flow, Reducing Back-and-forth Signatures and Slippage Exposure Window.
2. Authorization-based Automatic Reinvestment (Auto-compound by Allowance)
Users Authorize Earnings Contract Amount Once, and the System Automatically Reinvests Periodically/Upon Threshold, Avoiding Frequent Small Interactions; Threshold is Adjustable by Users to Balance Rates and Earnings Growth.
3. Composable Certificate
Standardization of Restaking Certificates (such as Unified Interface for rLST/rSOL), Direct Recognition and Pricing in Lending, Market Making, Stablecoin Protocols, Reducing Friction Costs of 'Ticket Switching'.
4. Risk Control Precedence and Risk Visualization (Risk-first UX)
Solayer Interface Pre-calculates Liquidation Price/Interest Spread/Fund Occupation; Demonstrates 'Worst Case Drawdown' Before Strategy Switch; One-click 'Reduce Leverage/Withdraw' Provides an Escape Route.
3. From Operational Flow to Capital Flow: A Real Executable 'Compounding Journey'
Starting Point: 100 SOL
Step A | One-click Routing: Stake as Lsol and Restake → Obtain rsol (Composable Certificate)
Step B | Collateralized Lending: Use rsol as Collateral to Borrow Stablecoins, Light Re-deployment (Control Health Factor)
Step C | Market Making or Stablecoin Reserve: Invest Stablecoins into DEX/Stablecoin Vault
Step D | Automatic Reinvestment: Periodically Reinvest Market Making Fees/Incentives + Restaking Rewards Back to Lsol/Re-staking Leg
Solayer's Goal: Design 'Earnings Reflow' as a Default Path, Making Manual Operations Strategy Parameters (Threshold/Cycle/Risk Control Line), Achieving 'High Fund Efficiency with Low Cognitive Load'.
4. Key Challenges at the Professional Level and Solayer's Engineering Solutions
Earnings Synchronization and Path Conflicts
Common Idle Caused by 'Earnings Arrival Out of Sync' When Running Multiple Leg Strategies.
Solayer Solution: Earnings Buffer Pool + Batching Window, Aligning Different Arrival Frequencies to Reduce Fund Idleness.
Cross-protocol Fees and Slippage
Frequent Small Reinvestments Can Be Eaten Away by Fees.
Solayer Solution: Dynamic Threshold Reinvestment (Triggered When Net Earnings > Fees × Coefficient), Routing Selector Prioritizes 'Low Slippage/Low Fee' Path.
Risk of Penalty Spread from Restaking
Single AVS Issues Could Transmit Across the Entire Strategy.
Solayer Solution: AVS Multivariate Dispersion + Risk Weighting (Higher Risks Require Higher Collateral/Lower Leverage) + Insurance Subpool Covers Extreme Events.
Asset Availability and Redemption Liquidity
Strong Dependence on the Liquidity of Composable Certificates.
Solution: Achieve Standardized Integration with Mainstream Lending/DEX/Stablecoin Protocols to Ensure First-Class Citizen Status for Certificates like rLST.
5. Measuring Whether the 'Compounding Machine' is Successful: Three Sets of Metrics
1. Net Compounding Efficiency (NCE)
NCE = (Actual Annualized After Compounding - Single Leg Benchmark Annualized) / Total Cost of Compounding Process
→ Measure the 'Excess Earnings/Unit Cost' Brought by Strategy Stacking.
2. Friction Index (FI)
FI = Number of Signatures + Number of Interactions + Operation Duration (Normalized)
→ Track Whether UX is Truly 'Unperceived'.
3. Risk Exposure Time (RET)
Time Window from Strategy Adjustment to Stable Fund Placement
→ The Shorter, the Safer; The Optimization Target is to Shorten RET through Batching + Packaging.
6. Creative Intent: Hide 'Strategy Complexity' within the Product, Return 'Compound Interest' to Time
Solayer's True Innovation is Not Creating a New Earnings Leg, but Simplifying the Complexity of Earnings Stacking and Thickening the Time Dimension of Compounding:
Users see 'On/Off + Risk Coefficient Slider';
The Protocol Behind is the Collaboration of Routing, Batching, Buffer Pools, Insurance Subpools, and Standardized Certificates;
Default Safety, Default Reinvestment, Default Composability, Making 'Long-termism' the Easiest Choice.
The Most Challenging Aspect of Compounding is Not the Model, but Persisting Compounding in the Real World. The Value of Solayer Lies in Transforming 'Earnings Stacking' into a User Right that Happens by Default: One-time Setup, Long-term Reinvestment, Transparent Risk, Withdraw Anytime.
When 'Complexity of Strategy' is Undertaken by the Protocol, 'Gift of Time' Will Steadily Return to Users.
