@Solayer Giving Staked SOL a Second Life
Staking SOL is safe… but static. Your tokens just sit there, earning base rewards.
Enter Solayer. A restaking + liquid restaking protocol built natively on Solana.
With Solayer, your staked SOL doesn’t just secure Solana—it also powers Actively Validated Services (AVSs) like:
🔮 Oracles
🌉 Bridges
⚡ High-performance apps
And while it’s busy, you hold sSOL—a liquid, yield-bearing token you can trade, lend, or use as DeFi collateral.
Your rewards stack up from:
✅ Normal staking
💸 AVS fees
⚡ MEV
🛠️ Under the hood:
Mega Validator → shared validator network securing multiple services.
InfiniSVM → high-speed execution with FPGAs + InfiniBand.
Together → stake-weighted QoS (services get priority as they attract more stake).
🎯 Why it matters:
Stakers → More yield + liquidity.
DeFi users → sSOL = collateral that keeps earning.
Devs → Build apps with stake-backed guarantees.
Validators → New revenue streams.
⚠️ Risks exist:
Slashing if validators misbehave.
Smart contract bugs.
Stacking risks with LSTs (mSOL, JitoSOL).
DeFi liquidation.
🔥 Big picture: Solayer makes SOL dynamic fuel, not just idle stake. If it works, it could be a cornerstone of Solana DeFi—powering yield, apps, and validator performance all at once.
