Liquid Staking is Booming on Solana ☀️

- Liquid Staking Ratio increased by 1.76% QoQ
- The Number of LSTs has doubled
- Market Landscape is more diversified: The dominance of the top 3 providers dropped from 93% -> 68.7%

Deeper Insights below 👇 (/4)Image
1/ The Key Catalyst: @sanctumso
The airdrop from @jito_labs has brought the spotlight to liquid staking on Solana. The liquid staking ratio has increased by 2% from Q4 2023 - Q1 2024

Sanctum is able to take the torch. The launch of INF, Sanctum Router, and Sanctum Reserve, has lowered the barrier to entry, building the foundation of a Cambrian explosion of the Liquid Staking sector on SolanaImage
2/ The Number of LSTs on Solana has reached 53, almost doubled compared to last quarter

While this is still far from @soleconomist's vision of having thousands of LSTs, we are seeing the early innings of the new era on Solana.

With Sanctum Router and Reserve, users can try out a new LST easily with sufficient liquidity. As a result, newer LSTs like vSOL, edgeSOL, and jupSOL can also grow as rapidly as the existing LSTsImage
3/ A more Diversified Market Landscape

Lido has been dominating the Liquid Staking Sector on Ethereum with 70% market share. Before Sanctum, the market landscape on Solana is moving to a similar dynamics, with top LSTs (jitoSOL, mSOL, bSOL) accounting for 93% of the market share

With the help of Sanctum, high-quality projects can build their own LSTs to challenge the status quo and scale efficiently, such as @heliuslabs, @SolanaCompass , @JupiterExchange, @DriftProtocol. Currently, the top 3 LSTs only hold 68% of the market share (Top 5 holds 84%), which has shown a more healthy and diversified marketImage
4/ @JupiterExchange's jupSOL enters the Top 3 LSTs

jupSOL has surpassed bSOL in market cap, with $329M TVL. It has grown 22% in the past 30 Days thanks to the integration with @KaminoFinance .

jupSOL is already the most deposited LST on Kamino, with $220M (59%). They are also the most popular option on the Multiply product as they have the highest APY (21%)Image

Overview of Solana's Liquid Staking Market

(✍️/7)Image
1/ Despite having 60%+ Staking Ratio, only 6% ($3.4B) of the Staked SOL comes from Liquid Staking

Ethereum on the contrary, has 32% of its stake comes from Liquid Staking. The reason for the difference imo is because of whether there is in-protocol delegation.

Solana has provided an easy way for SOL stakers to delegate their SOL natively whereas Lido is one of the only ways in the early days to delegate your ETH to earn staking rewards.Image
2/ Market Share of Solana LSTs are more Balanced than Ethereum

On Ethereum, 68% of the market share is coming from Lido. Comparatively, the Liquid Staking Tokens on Solana are more in a Oligopoly State.

Top 3 Liquid Staking Tokens on Solana account for 80% of the market shareImage

You only need 1 single table that covers 83 tokenized assets, 26 projects, 9 blockchains, and 9 types of tokenization

👇
(✍️/4)
1/ The table we are using today is dune."21co".result_fact_tokenisation_summary

This is "matview" built on Dune. It only takes seconds to run as a view. But since it is being refreshed daily, don't be surprised if it has any delay. Image
2/ Projects: Applications / Companies that built the tokenized asset

26 Projects are being covered in the table such as:
- US Treasuries: @BackedFi @OpenEden_Labs @OndoFinance
- Stablecoins: @Tether_to @circle

- FT's pricing model
- Thesis on FT
- Potential Enhancements
- Forecast of the SocialFi sector Image

It has highlighted the potential of the socialFI Image
2/ With less than 10 Days, MEV Searchers have entered the new venue for profit

Searchers try to snipe new profiles registered at a low entry price and sell them at a higher price.
