good 😊

When I first heard about @Solayer , my thought was simple: “Restaking on Solana? Isn’t that just like EigenLayer on Ethereum?” But the more I looked into it, the more I realized Solayer isn’t just a copy—it’s trying to make Solana staking more powerful, flexible, and rewarding.

How It Works

If you already hold SOL, you know the drill: stake it with a validator, earn rewards. Solayer asks a bigger question: “What if your staked SOL could keep securing the network, while also earning extra yield elsewhere?”

Here’s the flow:

Stake SOL or LSTs (mSOL, jitoSOL, bSOL, etc.) through Solayer.You receive sSOL, a liquid token that still earns rewards.That sSOL can now be used in DeFi or delegated to AVS (Actively Validated Services).

It’s basically turning one stream of rewards into multiple.

Why @Solayer Exists

Staking on Solana is solid, but it leaves potential on the table. Validators get rewards, you get a share, and that’s it. Meanwhile, dApps, oracles, and rollups all need security.

Solayer’s answer:

A “Mega Validator” that maximizes efficiency.Priority blockspace for apps willing to pay for guaranteed inclusion.A restaking layer where AVS can tap into Solana’s staking power.

In other words, billions of dollars in SOL don’t just sit idle—they actively strengthen the ecosystem.

The Power of sSOL

sSOL is the unlock key.

You deposit SOL or LSTs.

You get sSOL back.

Its value grows from staking rewards and MEV.

You can still trade it, lend it, or use it in LPs.

It’s flexible capital that keeps earning.

Where the Extra Yield Comes From

With Solayer, your rewards stack:

1. Standard staking yield.2. MEV rewards from their validator.3. Extra AVS incentives when you delegate sSOL.

So instead of one revenue stream, you’re opening three.

Two Types of AVS

Solayer splits AVS into two groups:

EndoAVS: Solana-native apps like DeFi protocols or games that want reliable block inclusion. Back them with sSOL, and both sides win.

ExoAVS: External services like bridges, oracles, or rollups. Here, Solayer even plans to use sUSD (a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries) to help secure them.

That’s how Solayer expands beyond Solana itself.

$LAYER Token

So where does LAYER fit?

Governance: voting on upgrades and protocol decisions.

Utility: used for fees in the InfiniSVM environment.

Incentives: rewarding validators and ecosystem partners.

Total supply is 1B, but only part is circulating. Early airdrops gave the community skin in the game.

Why It Matters

Solayer isn’t chasing hype—it’s building infrastructure.

Stakers get more yield.

Developers get more reliable blockspace.

DeFi users get a flexible, liquid token.

It connects all sides of Solana’s ecosystem.

Closing Thoughts

Restaking sounds complex, but really, it’s simple: your SOL keeps working harder without losing liquidity.

If Solayer pulls this off, staking on Solana won’t just secure the chain—it’ll become the engine for a whole layer of apps, services, and rewards.

That’s the kind of foundation project that sticks around.
