Unleashing Capital: Solayer’s Restaking Protocol Supercharges DeFi on Solana
DeFi on Solana is entering a new phase of growth, powered by the restaking innovation of @Solayer . The idea is straightforward but groundbreaking: users can put their staked SOL back to work, transforming idle capital into a productive, multi-layered yield engine.
When users deposit staked SOL, they receive lsSOL (Liquid Staking SOL), a liquid token that integrates seamlessly with Solana’s broader DeFi ecosystem. From lending markets to yield farms on platforms like Raydium and Orca, lsSOL becomes a versatile building block, creating a flywheel of capital efficiency and expanding opportunities for stakers.
At the heart of this model is an incentive structure that benefits the entire ecosystem. Stakers not only earn base yields for securing the Solayer network but also capture value from Actively Validated Services (AVSs). These services—ranging from oracles and decentralized sequencers to cross-chain bridges—rely on Solayer’s shared security layer. By restaking, participants help secure these critical applications while unlocking extra streams of yield.
The adoption story is already strong: Solayer’s restaking TVL has crossed key milestones, proving clear market demand. Fueling this system is the $LAYER token, which powers governance and serves as a direct reward for network contributors. Restakers earn $LAYER for securing the protocol, tying the growth of the ecosystem directly to the utility and demand of the token.
This is more than just another yield strategy—it’s the future of sustainable DeFi. Instead of chasing unsustainable APRs, Solayer is equipping users with a toolkit for smart portfolio management, making restaking a cornerstone of the next generation of decentralized finance.
