Data: The Block.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/chain\/Solana\">DeFi Llama<\/a>, the combined share of Marinade Finance, <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-lido\">Lido Finance<\/a>, Jito, JPool and Socea accounts for 69% of the blockchain&#8217;s total TVL, which is estimated at $273 million.<\/p>\n<p>Marinade Finance leads, occupying 62% of the network&#8217;s share. Lido Finance follows with 27%, and Jito with 7%.<\/p>\n<p>According to the publication&#8217;s analyst Kevin Pan, the inflows into liquid-staking derivatives (LSD) in the Solana ecosystem are presumably linked to the general rise in popularity of such instruments. In particular, <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/ethereum-activates-shapella-hard-fork-on-mainnet\">Shapella hard fork<\/a> in the Ethereum network contributed to this.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, around 1.66 million SOL (~$31 million) were locked in such contracts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn 2023, LSD as a category of digital assets grew substantially due to the uptick in staking activity on Ethereum. Demand for these products also spilled over into the Solana ecosystem,\u201d explained Pan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another driver of the TVL rise was a robust rally in the SOL token.
