Solayer: Revolutionizing Solana with Restaking and Liquid Restaking

The Solana ecosystem is buzzing with innovation, and Solayer is at the forefront, redefining how users maximize their assets through its cutting-edge restaking and liquid restaking protocol. From August 7 to September 7, 2025, Solayer’s event period offers a golden opportunity for SOL holders and DeFi enthusiasts to dive into a new era of staking, earning rewards while powering the Solana network and its vibrant ecosystem of Actively Validated Services (AVS). Let’s explore why Solayer is a game-changer for Solana and how you can join the revolution on Binance Square!

What is Solayer?

Solayer is the first native restaking and liquid restaking protocol built on Solana, designed to enhance the network’s scalability, security, and efficiency. By allowing users to stake their SOL or Solana-based liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like mSOL, bSOL, or JitoSOL, Solayer unlocks new ways to generate rewards while supporting decentralized applications (dApps) and AVS, such as oracles, bridges, and Layer-2 solutions like Sonic.

Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked to secure the base blockchain, Solayer’s restaking mechanism lets users reuse their staked SOL to secure additional services, boosting capital efficiency. In return, users receive sSOL, a liquid staking token that maintains liquidity for trading or use in DeFi, all while earning staking rewards and potential Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) profits. This innovative approach not only strengthens Solana’s ecosystem but also offers users flexible, high-yield opportunities.

Why Solayer Stands Out

Solayer’s architecture is a masterpiece of blockchain ingenuity, seamlessly integrating with Solana’s high-performance infrastructure. Here’s what makes it unique:

Restaking Pool Manager: This smart contract powerhouse handles SOL and LST deposits, converting them into sSOL tokens that can be delegated to AVS, ensuring efficient resource allocation.

Delegation Manager: Dynamically allocates sSOL to projects like Bonk, HashKey Cloud, or Sonic Layer-2, supporting Solana’s growing dApp ecosystem while optimizing consensus mechanisms.

Reward Accounting Unit: Tracks and calculates rewards offline, ensuring transparency and fairness in distributing staking yields and MEV-enhanced returns.

InfiniSVM Architecture: Solayer’s hardware-accelerated blockchain leverages Solana’s Proof-of-History (PoH) and advanced networking (SDN and RDMA) to achieve up to 1,000,000 TPS and 100 Gbps+ throughput, setting a new standard for scalability.

sUSD Stablecoin: Solayer introduces a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by US Treasuries, offering 4-5% APY and expanding use cases for DeFi users.

With over $190 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and 115,000 unique wallets already participating, Solayer has cemented its position as a cornerstone of Solana’s DeFi landscape. Backed by heavyweights like Binance Labs, Polychain Capital, and Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, Solayer’s $12 million seed funding in August 2023 underscores its potential to reshape blockchain infrastructure.

Event Period: August 7 – September 7, 2025

From August 7 to September 7, 2025, Solayer is hosting an exciting event period, inviting users to stake SOL or LSTs and earn rewards through its restaking protocol. By participating via Binance’s SOL Staking platform, users can receive BNSOL, a liquid staking token that unlocks exclusive benefits:

Staking Rewards: Earn native SOL staking rewards (up to 8.12% APR) plus additional AVS yields and MEV enhancements.

Liquidity Incentives: Use BNSOL in DeFi protocols or trade it while still earning staking rewards.

AVS Delegation: Support innovative Solana projects like Bonk or SonicSVM, contributing to network security and scalability.

Binance Airdrop Opportunities: Participate in Binance’s HODLer Airdrop and CreatorPad tasks to unlock up to $150,000 in LAYER token rewards.

To get started, simply stake your SOL on Binance to receive BNSOL, then restake it on Solayer’s platform to maximize your earning potential. The single sSOL/SOL pool design minimizes price impact and transaction fees, making it seamless for both new and seasoned users.

Risks and Considerations

While Solayer offers immense potential, it’s important to be aware of the risks:

Smart Contract Risks: Vulnerabilities in automated contracts could lead to losses, though Solayer’s audit by Halborn Security adds a layer of trust.

Validator Penalties: Poor validator performance may result in slashing, impacting rewards.

AVS Exposure: Restaking to AVS carries risks if these services face downtime or breaches.

Liquidity Fluctuations: sSOL’s value depends on market conditions, and unstaking may involve a short withdrawal period tied to Solana’s epochs.

Despite these risks, Solayer’s robust design, shared validator network, and focus on endogenous AVS (Solana-native dApps) make it a safer and more efficient choice compared to competitors like Jito or Picasso.
