🧭 DeFi Loop Radar - Week #17: STKESOL / SOL Multiply on @kamino 🫡 Recent exploits hit stable lending hard. Stablecoin loops took a bruise. If you're sitting on SOL wondering where to deploy, the answer might be right here. Stop chasing stable yield on shaken ground. Stack SOL instead. ⸻ 🧠 The Setup STKESOL = liquid staking token from Esos. Yield comes from validators + MEV rewards. Not emissions. Real staking work. Borrow SOL against it. Buy more STKESOL. Repeat. You're amplifying staking yield with 100% SOL price exposure. Key numbers: → Max Leverage: 7.7× → Max Leverage APY: 17.17% → Max LTV: 87% → Average Leverage Taken: 5.59× ⸻ ⚙️ How It Works One click. Kamino handles the rest. Deposit STKESOL → borrow SOL → swap for more STKESOL → re-deposit → repeat until you hit target multiplier. 100% SOL exposure retained. Zero depeg liquidation risk. Kamino prices STKESOL at theoretical price, not market price. Temporary market depegs? Irrelevant to your position. ⸻ 📊 The Rewards Stack Base STKESOL staking yield → amplified at 5.59× average leverage → Plus $6.11K in weekly STKESOL rewards on top The market is running this consistently above 5.5×. That's not timid. That's disciplined conviction. ⸻ ⚠️ Risks → SOL borrow rate spike compresses or inverts the spread → Smart contract risk across Kamino + Esos → Sustained high utilization pushes positions toward gradual liquidation Use the Liquidation Analysis tab to simulate rate scenarios before entering. ⸻ 🎯 Why This Loop → 17.17% APY, pure SOL accumulation → 5-point liquidation buffer (87% → 92%), real safety margin → Zero depeg liquidation risk by design → Weekly STKESOL rewards boosting the base → 100% SOL exposure retained throughout → $380K liquidity available now SOL is your conviction. This loop makes it compound faster. That's the loop. 🧭🫡 ⸻ ⚠️ Not financial advice. Always DYOR. SOL borrow rate spikes are the primary risk. Use the Liquidation Analysis tab.
