Liquid Staking & DeFi

Track Overview

Thank you for your interest in SolBlaze's Liquid Staking and DeFi track, we're super excited to see the high-quality content that you create!

SolBlaze is looking for people to create either educational or analytical content around Solana liquid staking, which can include topics such as how liquid staking works at a fundamental level, why people should liquid stake their SOL with a stake pool, how stake pool delegation strategies work, details on user-controlled delegation systems (bSOL Custom Liquid Staking, BLZE Gauges, etc.), different ways to use liquid staked tokens in the DeFi ecosystem (and how those protocols work), airdrop strategies and rewards/incentives mechanisms with liquid staking, economic implications of liquid staking protocols for validator operators, the growth of the liquid staking ecosystem on Solana over time, how liquid staking impacts Solana DeFi protocols, potential use-cases that could be made possible through liquid staking, and/or anything else related to Solana's liquid staking ecosystem.

Although the focus of this track should be on content that highlights SolBlaze's liquid staking ecosystem (BlazeStake, bSOL, BLZE, etc.), other liquid staking protocols can certainly be mentioned in addition and analyzed as needed for various comparisons or for viewing the Solana liquid staking ecosystem as a whole, but they shouldn't be highlighted more than SolBlaze's liquid staking solution.

Acceptable forms of content may include articles, videos, long-form research pieces, Twitter/X threads, etc. as long as you put effort into your submission and your content is thoughtful, original, and related to the topic. Please make sure that all submissions include new content that is not directly copied from others or your own past content. If you plan to share your submission on Twitter/X (even if it's just a summary and link to an external article/video), please make sure to tag @solblaze_org so that we can amplify high-quality content!

Rewards to be paid in $BLZE.
