Re: What to do with your SOL? Stake, restake, or just hold?

SOL is performing well, and the ecosystem is full of staking and restaking options promising 6–10% APY — plus possible airdrops.

Sounds great… until something gets exploited.
We’ve seen too many protocols go down overnight.

So the question:
Do you park your SOL and chase yield, or just sit on it and avoid smart contract risk?

Sometimes doing nothing is the safest alpha.
What’s your move?  Huh Wink
Staking SOL solely for the purpose of earning returns from its APY isn't enough. For me, staking SOL means engaging with a project that's already running. Whether it's based on APY or not, we usually pursue LST or points based on volume, staking duration, or the benefits of adding LP.
Therefore, I usually research specific projects based on Solana first. As you mentioned, the risk of a protocol going down is unpredictable, so I set a budget limit for farming on that platform.
