If you're into meme tokens on Solana, keeping an eye on the underlying infrastructure like liquid staking is key. It’s what keeps the liquidity flowing and yields pumping, making those wild trades possible. Recently, at Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2025, Fragmetric's co-founder took the stage to dive deep into the evolving world of liquid staking, and it's got implications for everyone in the crypto space.

KBW 2025 패널 하이라이트

In a tweet from Fragmetric (view the original post), they shared a snapshot of the event where co-founder @sangdotsol joined Thomas Uhm from Jito Foundation and Izzy from Lido Finance. The discussion focused on the latest dynamics in the liquid staking market. Held in Seoul, this panel was part of the larger KBW 2025 festivities, which brought together blockchain enthusiasts from around the globe.

For those new to the term, liquid staking lets you stake your crypto assets—like SOL on Solana—to secure the network and earn rewards, but without locking them up. Instead, you get a liquid token (like fragSOL from Fragmetric) that you can trade, lend, or use in DeFi protocols while still earning staking yields. It's like having your cake and eating it too.

Restaking takes it a step further. With protocols like Fragmetric built on Jito's restaking infrastructure, you can "restake" those liquid staked tokens to secure additional services (called Actively Validated Services or AVSs), earning extra rewards. This double-dipping boosts overall yields—Fragmetric currently offers around 9.85% APY on SOL restaking.

Fragmetric의 Solana 생태계 내 역할

Fragmetric stands out as Solana's first native liquid restaking protocol. According to their website, they use innovative token extensions to fairly distribute rewards and normalize staking tokens for efficient restaking. This not only enhances Solana's security but also pumps more liquidity into the ecosystem, which is huge for meme tokens.

Think about it: Meme tokens thrive on high liquidity and fast transactions. With better staking options, more SOL stays active in the market, supporting DEXes like Jupiter Exchange and lending platforms where memes often launch and trade. Fragmetric's fragSOL can be used in partner DeFi protocols, compounding yields and keeping the capital efficient.

Just days before the panel, on September 22, Fragmetric announced a major partnership with DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ: DFDV) to launch the first Solana Digital Asset Treasury in Korea via acquiring a publicly-listed company there. This move could bring institutional-grade capital into Solana, potentially stabilizing and growing the network—great news for meme token holders looking for less volatility in their base assets.

밈 토큰 애호가들에게 이게 중요한 이유

At Meme Insider, we're all about how blockchain tech intersects with the fun, viral world of memes. Liquid restaking protocols like Fragmetric make Solana even more attractive for meme projects. Higher yields mean more incentives for holders to stake and restake, which in turn secures the network against attacks and keeps fees low.

Plus, with events like KBW highlighting these advancements, it's a signal that Asia—especially Korea—is becoming a hotspot for Solana innovation. If you're building or trading memes on Solana, tools like Fragmetric could help you maximize returns on your holdings without missing out on the next big pump.

향후 전망

The panel wrapped up with appreciation for the KBW attendees, but the conversation on liquid staking is just heating up. Fragmetric also sponsors side events like SOLANA Oriental during KBW, featuring more panels on building in Asia and accelerating Solana DeFi.
