Native Staking is Live on Solayer

Native Staking is Live on Solayer

Solayer Core

Mar 4, 2025

Since launch, Solayer’s Mega Validator has been one of the top-performing validators on Solana, consistently delivering high staking yields for sSOL holders. Until now, participation was limited to liquid restaking.

Today, that changes. Native staking is now live on the Solayer app, giving users a straightforward way to stake SOL for competitive rewards, as well as earn additional rewards from participating in Solayer infiniSVM rollout—without the complexities of liquid staking.

Why Stake with Solayer’s Mega Validator?

Solayer’s validator infrastructure is designed for efficiency, reliability, and performance. We’ve optimized both hardware and software to maximize uptime and minimize slashing risk, ensuring that stakers receive the best possible rewards.

Additionally, our MEV-boosted validator captures additional value from MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) opportunities. This means that in addition to standard Solana validator rewards, our stakers benefit from extra yield generated by MEV tips.

When you stake with us, you are also securing Solayer InfiniSVM—the world’s first hardware-accelerated blockchain outputting 1MM TPS. This means you can join Proof of Stake among the verifiers and take part in our flagship product launches. These opportunities provide even more ways to earn rewards while being part of Solayer’s growing ecosystem. 

The Case for Native Staking

Native staking offers key advantages for different types of users:

  • Simple accounting treatment – Unlike liquid staking, native staking does not involve issuing an LST (Liquid Staking Token), which can introduce accounting complexities. Native staking provides a straightforward way to earn yield without the need for additional token mechanics.

  • Institutional Suitability – Many institutional stakers prefer direct staking due to counterparty risk concerns, regulatory considerations, or custodial restrictions. By offering native staking through our Mega Validator, Solayer provides a high-performance, compliant solution tailored to institutions.

  • More utility, more rewards – Unlock extra yield beyond native staking rewards.

Unlock the Full Potential of Your SOL

With the launch of native staking, all users—whether holding sSOL or staking SOL directly—can benefit from Solayer’s high-performance validation infrastructure.
