Today I entered an exciting comparison between two giants in the world of restaking: EigenLayer on Ethereum and Solayer on Solana.

EigenLayer has truly revolutionized the concept of repurposing pledged assets to secure additional verification services (AVS). But honestly… Solayer is taking the same idea and reshaping it powerfully to fit the high-speed world of Solana.

The fundamental difference?

Ethereum with EigenLayer: always faces challenges of high gas fees and relative slowness in consensus.

Solana with Solayer: combines restaking with ultra-fast proof of history (PoH), avoiding transaction congestion or slowing down the base network.

Solayer focuses on coordinating Solana's native validators, which increases bandwidth and injects more security into the first layer, which is essential for any strong DeFi.

The critical advantage at Solayer is InfiniSVM:

Hardware Acceleration.

Ability to handle one million transactions per second (1M TPS).

Multiple path models + optimized scheduling.

And this is exactly what EigenLayer lacks on the Ethereum setup.

The experience for the user?

Stake SOL or LSTs.

You receive sSOL as a liquidity token.

You can enter AVS markets and earn additional returns.

All this with automatic risk management delegation, as if the system protects you and gives you flexibility at the same time.

And the returns? Logically higher:

Lower fees on Solana.

MEV (value extracted from validators) is larger.

From a security perspective, Solayer uses SVN and unlinked AVS (up to two days), with a governance token $LAYER . The model is similar to EigenLayer and $EIGEN, but with the advantage of speed and efficiency in Solana.

The impacts on the market?

We might see a larger TVL on Solayer, simply because it is easier, cheaper, and more efficient.

Adding sUSD linked to real-world assets (RWAs) provides stability and returns at the same time.

It means not just restaking, but rebuilding the foundations of DeFi on Solana.

Sure, risks are present (penalty discount, liquidity risks), but they are almost the same risks in EigenLayer. The difference is that Solayer is designed to mitigate them through epochs and balanced incentives.

What did I conclude?

EigenLayer changed the game... but Solayer may dominate the field.

From restaking to liquidity and payments, Solayer's vertical integration makes it a true candidate to be the center of gravity for the upcoming DeFi.
