VELYS

Intelligent Liquid Staking Infrastructure on Solana

Modular liquid staking primitives designed to keep capital liquid while optimizing yield across decentralized finance.

What is VELYS?

VELYS is an intelligent liquid staking infrastructure built natively on Solana. It enables users to stake their assets while maintaining full liquidity, allowing staked capital to be utilized across the DeFi ecosystem.

Unlike traditional staking mechanisms that lock up capital, VELYS provides modular and composable staking primitives that preserve liquidity. This allows users to optimize yield while maintaining the flexibility to participate in other on-chain activities.

Built with a focus on modularity, VELYS integrates seamlessly with existing Solana protocols and DeFi applications, offering a foundation for building sophisticated capital-efficient strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about VELYS

VELYS is a liquid staking protocol for Solana that allows you to stake SOL and receive veSOL as a representation token. With veSOL, you continue earning staking rewards while being able to use your tokens in the DeFi ecosystem.

When you stake SOL through VELYS, you will receive veSOL at a 1:1 ratio. veSOL represents your staked SOL plus accumulated rewards. You can unstake at any time or use veSOL in various DeFi protocols without waiting for the unstaking period.

veSOL is a liquid staking token issued by VELYS. Each veSOL represents SOL staked with Solana validators plus accumulated staking rewards. veSOL can be traded, used as collateral, or exchanged back to SOL at any time.

VELYS charges competitive and transparent fees. A 5% management fee on staking rewards is used for protocol operations and development. There are no hidden fees or additional charges for staking or unstaking.

Security is our top priority. VELYS smart contracts have been audited by leading security firms, use multi-signature wallets for operations, and implement time-lock mechanisms for protocol changes. We also perform 24/7 monitoring and have emergency pause mechanisms.

To start using VELYS, you need to: 1) Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.), 2) Select the amount of SOL you want to stake, 3) Confirm the transaction, and 4) You will immediately receive veSOL. The process is instant and easy through our dashboard.

VELYS offers instant unstaking through a liquidity pool. You can exchange veSOL back to SOL at any time without waiting. Alternatively, you can use delayed unstaking which follows Solana's unstaking period (2-3 days) to get a better rate.

veSOL can be used in various DeFi protocols in the Solana ecosystem such as: DEXs for trading, lending protocols as collateral, liquidity pools for earning additional yields, and various other dApps integrated with VELYS.
