Solayer is not just another staking platform. It’s a next-generation restaking protocol on Solana that lets you put your SOL—or other liquid staked tokens like mSOL and stSOL—to work in smarter ways. Think of it as giving your crypto superpowers: your assets are still staked, but now they can earn multiple rewards and help secure more than just the Solana network.
🔍 So, What Exactly is Restaking?
Staking your SOL is great—you earn rewards for helping secure Solana. But what if the same SOL could do double or triple duty? That’s restaking. With Solayer, your staked tokens aren’t sitting idle—they’re reused to secure other services and applications, called Actively Validated Services (AVSs). The result? More rewards without needing more capital.
⚙️ How Solayer Works in Simple Terms
Deposit Your Tokens
You start by depositing your SOL or a liquid staking token like mSOL or jitoSOL.
Restaking Your Assets
@Solayer takes these tokens and restakes them to secure AVSs and other blockchain services. Essentially, your crypto is now multitasking.
Get sSOL in Return
For your restaked tokens, you receive sSOL, a liquid version that can still be used across DeFi platforms—while continuing to earn rewards.
Earn Rewards on Multiple Fronts
You earn from:
Solana staking rewards
AVS rewards for helping secure extra services
DeFi opportunities, like lending, borrowing, or liquidity provision
🔐 What Are AVSs?
AVSs, or Actively Validated Services, are services that require constant verification by the network. By restaking your tokens to support them, you’re not only earning more rewards—you’re helping make Solana’s ecosystem more robust and decentralized.
🛠️ Behind the Scenes
@Solayer runs on InfiniSVM, a high-speed Solana Virtual Machine. This setup ensures ultra-fast transactions and scalable infrastructure, capable of handling over a million transactions per second. The protocol also includes:
Restaking Vaults: Keeps your staked assets safe.
Validator Network: A decentralized network helping to secure AVSs.
Restaking Pool Manager: Converts your staked SOL into sSOL efficiently.
📈 Key Milestones
Epoch 0 Launch: Solayer kicked off with a bang, hitting $24.2 million in deposits in just three hours.
Epoch 1: Total deposits across two epochs reached $50 million, rewarding early supporters.
Governance Token (LAYER): $LAYER lets the community vote on protocol decisions and participate in the ecosystem’s growth.
🚀 What’s Next?
Solayer isn’t stopping here. Future plans include:
Expanding to more AVSs
Growing the validator network
Making governance more community-driven with LAYER
Basically, more ways for your SOL to earn, secure, and participate in Solana’s future.
✅ Why Solayer Matters
Solayer is more than a staking platform. It’s a smart, efficient, and community-focused way to get the most out of your SOL. You’re not just earning rewards—you’re helping secure Solana and the broader ecosystem, all while keeping your assets flexible and ready for DeFi opportunities.
