Today, a group of leading Solana staking protocols and validators is launching something the ecosystem has never had before:
Introducing The Solana Staking Index (SSI).
A transparent, on-chain benchmark rate for Solana staking. 🧵👇
Solana staking yields are hard to compare, every LST and validator reports APY differently.
We're running an open experiment.
100 SOL staked with each validator. Every epoch, we publish the on-chain rewards, fully verifiable.
Which validators should we track? Let us know 👇
The methodology for the Solana Staking Index is simple but, intentional.
Staking (Inflation) Rewards. + Block Rewards = SSI (%)
MEV tips are excluded as they're highly variable across the board.
At it's core SSI serves as THE benchmark for evaluating staking performance,
We are proud to be part of the group of Solana operators launching the Solana Staking Index (SSI): a transparent onchain benchmark rate for Solana staking.

2/ 🔧 Solana Staking Index Launched as On-Chain Benchmark Standard.
A coalition of leading @solana validators and staking protocols today introduced the @stakingindex (SSI) — the ecosystem’s first transparent, on-chain baseline staking yield benchmark. Calculated from inflation rewards and validator fees (excluding variable MEV), SSI provides a fair, consistent reference rate for stakers, protocols, and institutions.
We've validated on Solana since the early days. One thing that's always been missing: a single, transparent benchmark rate the entire ecosystem can point to.
SSI changes that.
Staking powers Solana... without a standard base rate, it’s hard to build on top of it.
SSI creates that foundation.
But you didn't hear that from me 👇
Thanks to @MarinadeFinance for getting a staking yield index published, using on-chain data. 🙌
This will unlock use cases like interest rate swaps, hedging, and perps for trading Solana's yield 💪

A stronger ecosystem starts with shared standards.
The Solana Staking Index by @stakingindex delivers a transparent, on-chain benchmark rate. A neutral base layer for everything built on Solana staking.
Glad to be involved.
