Solayer is a restaking network on Solana. Stake SOL or supported LSTs (e.g., mSOL, JitoSOL, bSOL, INF) and receive sSOL, a liquid restaked token (LRT) you can use across DeFi while your stake helps secure Solana-native Actively Validated Services (AVSs).
Quick Facts
-
Assets: sSOL (liquid restaked SOL) • LAYER (governance / network token).
-
What you can restake: Native SOL or LSTs from Marinade, Jito, BlazeStake, Sanctum/Infinity.
-
Mechanics: SOL → sSOL-raw (intermediate stake token) → restaked to sSOL (your LRT).
-
Use cases: Earn staking + AVS rewards and keep liquidity to deploy sSOL across Solana DeFi.
-
Chain: Solana (SPL). Explorer/portfolio tools list sSOL as a liquid staking/restaking asset.
How It Works (at a glance)
-
Deposit SOL (or an LST). The protocol mints sSOL-raw for SOL deposits.
-
Restake → sSOL. Your position is restaked into sSOL, Solayer’s LRT.
-
Earn & use. Keep earning staking/AVS rewards while deploying sSOL in DeFi.
-
Unstake. Exit depends on source asset and any AVS-specific unbonding windows; Solayer emphasizes short, program-defined unbonding rather than long locks.
