Introduction to sSOL

sSOL is a core component of the Solayer protocol and Mega Validator, serving as a liquid staking token that represents Deposited SOL on the Solana. It allows users to earn staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity, enabling seamless participation in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.


​
Why sSOL?

By converting Native SOL and LST SOL to sSOL, users can:

  • Earn top-tier SOL APY from Mega Validator—without locking up your assets.
  • Utilize sSOL in DeFi, maintaining liquidity while securing the network.
  • Enhance dApp scalability by delegating sSOL, contributing to network bandwidth and transaction throughput.
  • **Accelerate Solana transactions with Mega Validator.

​
sSOL as a Universal Liquidity Layer

sSOL functions as a universal liquidity layer within Solayer, supporting:

  • dApps that require blockspace and bandwidth allocation.
  • Liquidity Staking Tokens (LSTs) that use sSOL liquidity for efficient capital allocation.

Each unit of sSOL represents a unit of blockspace, meaning it plays a vital role in optimizing network performance and facilitating high TPS (Transactions Per Second) for dApps.


​
How to use sSOL

sSOL holders can use through multiple apps:

​
1. Delegation to endoAVS

  • Users can delegate sSOL to endoAVS to help secure network bandwidth.
  • This process supports scalability and dApp efficiency while allowing users to retain asset flexibility.

​
2. Participation in DeFi Strategies

  • sSOL holders can leverage DeFi protocols to earn additional APY.
  • Common strategies include:
    • Providing liquidity in DEX AMM pools to earn trading fees.
    • Depositing in liquidity vaults to optimize yield and automate liquidity management.

sSOL serves as both a staking reward enabler and a liquidity-optimizing asset within the Solayer ecosystem. By combining staking yield, DeFi integration, and dApp delegation, sSOL enhances capital efficiency, network scalability, and liquidity utilization for Solana-based applications.

With its flexibility and composability, sSOL unlocks new opportunities for stakers, DeFi participants, and developers, making it an essential component of Solayer’s decentralized infrastructure.
