How Does Adrastea Validator Work?

adraSOL reward-bearing liquid staking token — SOL stakers receive adraSOL that accrues staking rewards while remaining liquid for DeFi use

Standard reward-bearing LST pattern

Liquid restaking via lrtsSOL — users convert SOL/sSOL into restaked tokens for boosted APY across restaking services

Solana restaking is novel — less battle-tested than EigenLayer-style Ethereum restaking

ADRA token rewards distributed pro-rata to participants across staking, lending, and restaking pools during boost epochs

Standard reward distribution with epoch-based boost campaigns

ADRA airdrop campaign — points-to-token conversion based on protocol participation during designated epochs

Standard points/airdrop system to bootstrap TVL

Lending pools collateralized by liquid staking derivatives — users can borrow against adraSOL and lrtsSOL positions

Over-collateralized lending using LST assets

ADRA governance token for protocol parameter voting and yield boosting

Token-weighted governance

Multiple LST variants (adraSOL, sSOL, sonicsSOL, rtsSOL) — each representing different staking/restaking strategies

Per-strategy LST fragmentation across multiple token types

Leveraging restaked positions via lending creates cascading liquidation risk — a depegging event in lrtsSOL could trigger liquidations that amplify sell pressure on the underlying SOL

Airdrop farming incentivizes depositing across multiple LST types without genuine economic commitment — post-airdrop TVL flight could fragment liquidity across all token variants

Fragmented liquidity across adraSOL, sSOL, sonicsSOL means each individual LST may have insufficient DEX liquidity for efficient liquidation during stress events

Double incentive layer (staking rewards + airdrop points) attracts TVL but creates unsustainable yield expectations that collapse when either incentive ends

Stacking staking and restaking layers compounds slashing and smart contract risk — a failure in either layer propagates losses to the combined position
