I Just Got Free LAYER Tokens from Solayer on Solana… But Should I Sell or Hold?

By BreakdownFab | DecryptLab | 12 Feb 2025


Today, I want to talk about the Solayer free LAYER tokens on Solana. If you’ve been following Ethereum’s restaking trend, this is basically Solana’s version of it.

I just received 164 LAYER tokens, which are worth around $185 right now. Not life-changing, but hey, free money! 💸 All I did was use restaked SOL (sSOL) in DeFi, as I mentioned in my previous videos.

Sell or Hold? The Big Question

Most free token drops dump right after launch, but sometimes, they take off—think Celestia (TIA). Solayer has a max supply of 1B tokens, but only 220 million are in circulation so far, meaning more unlocks are coming, which could put pressure on the price.

My Strategy to Maximize Gains

Instead of selling immediately, I’m looking at liquidity pools on Orca and Raydium:
LAYER/SOL seems like the best option because if Solana pumps, both tokens could go up.
✅ APRs (annual returns) are pretty good (initially over 999%, but that drops fast).
✅ High trading volume = more fees collected.

This is just my play, but do your own research! 🔍
