The greatest value of Solayer lies in the unprecedented liquidity it brings to staked assets. Traditional staking models often lock up funds for long periods, allowing users to earn rewards but losing opportunities to participate in other investments or trades, leading to low capital utilization. Solayer breaks this limitation through the design of liquid staking tokens (LST), enabling staked assets to possess both yield and liquidity.
When users stake SOL, they immediately receive LST equivalent to the value staked; these tokens serve as proof of staking rights and are also assets that can be freely used in the market. Users can still earn staking rewards while also using LST for borrowing, trading, liquidity pools, or other DeFi applications. This means that a single capital can create value on multiple levels, thereby enhancing overall return rates.
This mechanism not only increases the flexibility of individual funds but also enhances the capital efficiency of the entire Solana ecosystem. As more users participate, the circulation and application scenarios of LST continue to expand, significantly improving market depth and stability, further attracting new capital inflows.
It can be said that Solayer makes staking no longer synonymous with capital freezing but endows assets with more diverse uses and potential, becoming an important engine for promoting liquidity and capital efficiency within the Solana ecosystem.
