According to DeFi Flamethe combined figure of Marinade Finance, Lido Finance, Jito, JPool and Socea is 69% of the total TVL of the blockchain, which is valued at $273 million.
Marinade Finance is in the lead, occupying 62% of the segment in the network. They are followed by Lido Finance with 27% and Jito with 7%.
According to Kevin Pan, an analyst with the publication, the influx of funds into liquid staking derivatives (LSD) in the Solana ecosystem is presumably associated with the overall growth in popularity of such instruments. In particular, this was facilitated by the Shapella hard fork in the Ethereum network.
In 2023, about 1.66 million SOL (~$31 million) were blocked in such contracts.
“In 2023, LSD as a category of digital assets has grown in large part due to the increase in staking dynamics in Ethereum. Demand for these products has also seeped into the Solana ecosystem,” Peng explained.
Another reason for the rise of TVL was the steady growth of the SOL token. According to CoinGeckofor six months the coin has risen in price by 96% – from $9.9 to $19.4.
