Liquid staking on Solana is built around the MonkeDAO daoSOL token, a liquid token variant — similar to mSOL and stSOL — that allows users to passively earn staking rewards without needing to run their own validator infrastructure. daoSOL can also be integrated into Solana DeFi platforms to allow for added DeFi use cases (e.g. additional yield, collateral in lending protocols, etc) while allowing stakers to retain their staking rewards. Once the SOL is staked in DAOPool, MonkeDAO will work to allocate it to smaller validators, run by DAO’s or new ecosystem participants.
