On August 7, Binance Labs announced an undisclosed investment in Solaire, one of the well-known heavily collateralized projects on the Solana (SOL) network.
With the support of Binance Labs, Solaire is preparing to strengthen its presence in the Solana blockchain ecosystem.
Solaire’s Ambitious Expansion Plans: Addressing Network Congestion
Following the funding from Binance Labs, Solaire has unveiled its ambitious expansion plans. The project aims to bolster its team, integrate new protocols, and tackle Solana’s network congestion issue through infrastructure improvements.

Additionally, Solaire is gearing up to launch a comprehensive system that will enable stakers to utilize SOL to enhance the security of Solana and decentralized applications (dApps). This system will play a vital role in ensuring network bandwidth and transaction throughput. Solaire also intends to revamp public assets to safeguard Active Verification Services (AVS) beyond the Solana ecosystem.
A tweet by Solaire: “By converting SOL to sSOL, users can earn higher returns through a combination of native staking, Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) increases, and AVS rewards, while contributing to network security and efficiency. Join us in making a difference.”
According to DeFiRama, Solaire currently boasts a total deposit volume (TVL) of around $155 million, making it the 15th largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol in the Solana ecosystem.
The Rise of Reinvestment and the Promise of Restaking
Solaire’s recent investment aligns with the growing trend in the reinvestment industry, where resources from one blockchain are leveraged to protect multiple blockchains. In proof-of-stake (PoS) systems, restaking allows stake weights and validator sets designated for one chain to be utilized across multiple chains, creating a consolidated and efficient security mechanism for diverse blockchain ecosystems.
According to a report by Galaxy Digital, a staggering $20.14 billion worth of assets are being restaked across multiple blockchains as of June 25, 2024. Notably, $58.5 million was reinvested into Solana via Picasso and Solaire.

Challenges and Considerations in the Reinvestment Landscape
Despite the potential benefits, the practice of restaking faces several challenges. Coinbase’s April report highlighted concerns such as AVS selection, potential slashing, and token financialization as emerging risks in the re-collateralization space.
