Now here’s the scary part: According to the Nakamoto Coefficient, if 33% of stake is controlled by a small group, they can halt the

@AeroPool_ is the liquid staking protocol behind AeroSOL, built specifically for Solana. It lets users: βž› Stake SOL into the protocol βž› Receive aeroSOL, a yield-bearing token that represents their staked SOL βž› Automatically delegate that stake across 140+ small/mid

Now, on the surface, aeroSOL seems like another LST, but it isn’t. Here’s why πŸ‘‡ It's the first LST built explicitly for decentralization, backed by @sanctumso and the Solana Foundation.

Heres how it works ↓ When you stake SOL with AeroPool, you receive aeroSOL, a Liquid Staking Token that accrues staking rewards and can be used across DeFi protocols.

Mechanics: ➺ SOL is deposited into AeroPool’s smart contract. ➺ The protocol stakes the SOL across a wide distribution of smaller validators. ➺ Users receive aeroSOL 1:1 in return, which grows in value over time as staking rewards accrue.

The rewards are baked into the value of aeroSOL (similar to mSOL or JitoSOL), meaning you don’t need to claim manually, your position grows passively. Validators supported by AeroPool also receive stake without needing to optimize for MEV or run expensive infrastructure. Most

Let’s compare it to other LSTs real quick

There are already 1,000,000 SOL staked with AeroPool. That’s over a million SOL actively working to strengthen Solana’s validator set, and it’s just getting started.

It also plugs directly into Solana DeFi: ➒ Integrated with @sanctumso Router ➒ Compatible with @JupiterExchange ➒ potentially being integrated into lending and more soon So you’re not just staking for rewards. You’re staking for impact.

Staking takes just 3 clicks. Here’s me staking some SOL☟

If you believe decentralization should be more than a random word web3 bros use, then put your SOL where your values are: https://aeropool.io/stake β€Ήβ€· Website – http://aeropool.io β€Ήβ€·Twitter – @AeroPool_ β€Ήβ€· List of validators: https://www.aeropool.io/valida...

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty So by staking with @AeroPool_ I'm supporting true decentralization? Great stuff

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty pos is a solid mechanism among the many consensus mechanisms out there, but this flaw of it is that's not been really liked - interesting to see how aeropool goes about solving it. i'm something of a decentralization maxi myself (which is why, even though i love megaeth and

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Nice thread , I no dey win this thing I just know πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Its intriguing to watch people finally talk about Decentralization...and and the work that goes into making it possible. I've also heard about the Nakomoto coefficient before, but this is the first time I'm seeing it being used like this before Great thread man!

@chyderaweb3 @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Thanks harri 🫑🫑

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty If @AeroPool_ is solving the problem of decentralization, we must take it into consideration as long as we're all looking forward to a decentralized future with PoS blockchains like Solana.

@elrafiu @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Yes, more people need to know what AeroPool is doing for dolana

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Real decentralization happens when different protocols control the stake And @AeroPool_ helps give us that true decentralization by rooting it across different protocols

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty nice thread now i know where to stack check dm

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Is staking with @AeroPool_ the only way I can support decentralization?

@ayomikumgeo @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Not objectively the ONLY way, but its one of the most effective and effortless ways

@MrGalvathron @AeroPool_ @phaselabs_ @solana @Seb_Moriarty Just coming from superteam page I really still need to learn from the best u tried brr am just a learner
