The Solana blockchain platform has introduced an updated staking system. Previously, users had to lock up their funds to earn rewards, but now they can delegate their SOL assets to validators and receive special tokens while maintaining the ability to use or trade them, CoinMarketCap notes.
According to Solana Foundation representatives, the new feature will make the platform more attractive to investors. Due to this, SOL holders will be able to earn up to 11.8% annually. Such high yields will attract more investors and strengthen the development of the entire ecosystem.
Analysts from Kanalcoin note that the growing number of investors will benefit not only users, but also the platform itself. The more tokens are delegated to validators, the more secure the network becomes. At the same time, experts caution that technological risks must be taken seriously.
The implementation of liquid staking has already proven its effectiveness on other platforms, such as Ethereum. Analysts predict that by following this example, Solana will be able to attract more users and increase the total value locked in its network. This will strengthen trust in the platform and bolster its position in the decentralized finance market.
