Introduction

Solayer is excited to announce our strategic partnership with Luganodes, a leader in institutional-grade validation services, to further bolster the security and performance of the Solana network. This collaboration enhances Solana’s Layer 1 (L1) security and introduces new opportunities for decentralized applications (dApps) through our innovative restaking and Actively Validated Services (AVS) platforms. Together, we are committed to empowering Solana’s ecosystem with cutting-edge infrastructure.

What is Luganodes?

Luganodes is a world-class, Swiss-operated, non-custodial blockchain infrastructure provider that has rapidly gained recognition in the industry for offering institutional-grade services. It was born out of the Lugano Plan B Program, an initiative driven by Tether and the City of Lugano. Luganodes maintains an exceptional 99.9% uptime with round-the-clock monitoring by SRE experts. With support for over 45 PoS networks, it ranks among the top validators on Polygon, Polkadot, Sui, and Tron. Luganodes prioritizes security and compliance, being one of the first staking providers to adhere to SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards. It also offers Chainproof insurance to institutional clients, further solidifying its reputation as a secure and reliable infrastructure provider.

What is Solayer?

Solayer is the premier restaking protocol on Solana, dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of decentralized applications by maximizing network bandwidth and L1 security. Our protocol allows users to restake their SOL tokens, providing dApps with optimized blockspace, higher transaction priority, and greater staking rewards.

Our architecture is built on two core components: the Restaking Pool Manager, which governs the flow and conversion of assets into Solayer tokens like sSOL, and the Shared Validator Network (SVN), which ensures efficient resource allocation and security sharing throughout Solana’s ecosystem. These components create a flexible, scalable infrastructure that enhances application support and cross-chain interoperability.

Solayer X Luganodes

Our partnership with Luganodes enhances Solana’s restaking landscape with industry-leading security and operational support. Luganodes brings its institutional-grade expertise to accelerate services for endoAVSs, while Solayer continues to advance the security and performance of Solana’s ecosystem. This collaboration ensures that our platforms provide secure, reliable validation, allowing both dApps and users to maximize the benefits of restaking with confidence.

Conclusion

At Solayer, we are reshaping the future of Solana with our restaking and Actively Validated Services (AVS) platforms, and we are thrilled to have Luganodes as our partner on this journey. Together, we are setting new standards for decentralized applications and yield-bearing assets, driving the evolution of Solana’s ecosystem.
