Ethereum is new to PoS while Solana is now 3+ years old and among the most popular blockchains for staking. 👉 Smaller % of ETH is staked vs. SOL 👉 But a lot more ETH stake is already liquid staked $ETH vs. $SOL staking comparison:

(1/6) The Solana lack of DeFi Liquidity problem as I see it: OG investors are staking SOL and not using it much, awaiting newcomers to bring liquidity while their SOL is parked in locked stake. So the supposed currency of Solana (SOL) is not abundant and flowing

Liquid staking tokens are pretty unreal at unlocking the composability that is Only Possible on Solana. Consider $mSOL value captures: - SOL staking rewards - Receives & reinvests MEV - Auto-balances stake to the best and most decentralized 100+ validators - Unlocks DeFi
