Problem
Solana stakers face challenges in diversifying validator risk and accessing liquid staking benefits, as many staking solutions centralize delegation or fail to integrate seamlessly with the broader DeFi ecosystem. This limits both network security and user flexibility in deploying staked assets.
Solution
DAOPool provides a community-governed staking pool on Solana where users stake SOL to earn rewards and receive daoSOL, a liquid staking token that can be used across Solana's DeFi ecosystem. The pool distributes staked SOL across a diverse set of validators, with validator operators able to join the pool by contacting the DAO. Liquidity providers can swap daoSOL and supply liquidity on major Solana DeFi platforms, while cross-chain liquidity powered by Mayan enables users to bring assets from Ethereum and other EVM blockchains to Solana. This approach combines community-driven validator selection with liquid staking utility, allowing participants to secure the network and simultaneously engage in DeFi activities.
Target Audience
Primary users are SOL holders seeking to stake while retaining DeFi liquidity, as well as validators on Solana interested in joining a community-governed staking pool to receive delegated stake.
