Liquid Collective’s Liquid Staked SOL (LsSOL) is now live on Orca, the concentrated liquidity decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana.
LsSOL support brings institutional-grade liquid staking to one of Solana’s leading liquidity protocols—so users can access SOL staking rewards while simultaneously participating in Orca’s onchain trading, liquidity provision, and more. The introduction of LsSOL/SOL and LsSOL/USDC liquidity pools on one of Solana’s first general-purpose AMMs expands access to secure, reliable staking within the Solana DeFi ecosystem.
Here’s the 101 on Orca, participating with LsSOL, and where to go to get started.
Bringing LsSOL to Orca's concentrated liquidity marketplace
Orca is a decentralized, open-source liquidity protocol built on Solana. It’s best known for its "Whirlpools," which are Concentrated Liquidity AMM (CLMM) pools.
Unlike traditional AMM pools, where liquidity is distributed evenly across all price ranges, Orca’s CLMMs allow liquidity providers to concentrate their tokens within specific price ranges. This approach can lead to higher capital efficiency for liquidity providers and lower slippage for traders.
Liquidity providers deposit pairs of tokens into a Whirlpool to provide liquidity for traders, and in return, they can earn Orca trading fees from swaps that occur within their designated price range.
LsSOL on Orca
Liquid Staked SOL (LsSOL) is Liquid Collective’s Solana liquid staking token, representing staked SOL plus accrued SOL network rewards. When a user stakes SOL through Liquid Collective, they receive LsSOL, and can participate in securing the Solana network, receiving Solana’s 6-8% staking reward rate, while using their LsSOL to access liquidity. Using LsSOL, stakers can use their staked SOL as collateral, participate in Orca or elsewhere in the DeFi ecosystem, or transfer ownership of their staked SOL.
Liquid Collective is unique in its focus on bringing institutional-grade staking onchain for everyone. Launched in July with day-one support from Galaxy, Coinbase, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, and Fireblocks, LsSOL is the only Solana LST on the market purpose-built to meet institutional needs through a distributed, interoperable, and compliance-focused approach.
By leveraging a collaborative model across trusted industry players, LsSOL represents a resilient, secure, and market-neutral staking solution that anyone can use, from individuals to professionals alike.
