The "capital dilemma" in the cryptocurrency market is very real: once users stake their assets, they become "dormant funds". If they want to switch protocols, they have to redeem and re-operate; project teams want to build a secure network, but they have to spend high prices to attract validators. Solayer's re-staking mechanism, however, acts like a "capital magic", allowing one asset to simultaneously leverage the dual value of "security" and "profit".
Its core logic is "reallocation of staking weight": the SOL staked by users is converted into a "security computing power certificate", which continues to support consensus for the Solana mainnet while also being "rented out" to ecological dApps through the swQoS mechanism. For instance, if you stake 1000 SOL, you can earn the staking rewards from the mainnet, and if a DeFi protocol requires high security protection, your computing power can prioritize serving it, earning an additional share of protocol revenue—equivalent to "one asset, two returns".
More friendly for project teams: small and medium dApps do not need to spend millions to build their own validation nodes; by accessing Solayer, they can directly utilize the computing power contributed by over 70,000 users, reducing security costs by 80%. This is also the key to its TVL exceeding $196 million within 60 days of launch: users earn more, projects use less, and capital forms a "circulation closed loop" within the ecosystem.
This model is rewriting the "capital rules" of blockchain: it used to be "assets locked for security", but now it is "assets flowing to create value". When every stake can be efficiently utilized, the capital vitality of the cryptocurrency market can truly be activated. $LAYER
