Solana's Liquid Staking market cap has increased 22x since the collapse of FTX, now sitting at $3.4B, but still, this is 10x less than Ethereum.
You're not too late 🧠
Here is the landscape of Solana's Liquid Restaking: Top 10 LSTs + Simple strategies to earn from them 🧡
1/ Why Solana's LSTs?
- SOL has a high staking ratio, but a low ratio of Staked SOL is from Liquid Staking compared to Ethereum => Big room to grow.
- LST M.cap is rushing to ATH.
- More protocols enter the space, increasing TVL, boosting incentives for holders to compete.

9/ Other $SOL LSTs that are fast-growing in TVL in the last 30D
@heliuslabs $hSOL
@SolanaCompass $compassSOL: LST created by @sanctumso that stakes directly to Solana Compass validator
@laine_sa_ $laineSOL: high-yield, single validator LST
10/ Other DeFi and Staking teams arre onboarding staked $SOL to DeFi via their own LSTs including @DriftProtocol, @bonk_inu, @OverclockSol, @SolanaHubApp, @knox_trades,...
As more LSTs are introduced, the war for TVL and users will be higher, thus bringing in bullish sentiment.
11/ All above LSTs can be swapped on Jupiter, deposited in Marginfi, Orca, and Meteora to earn yields/trading fees/points.
Notably, the more LSTs you hold, the more XP and Pets you earn on Sanctum Wonderland, aka more airdrops!
