Technical Vision

Background

Our team spent a long time talking to validators on Solana and discovered Solana has a hidden yield curve. Validators had been sharing more MEV and block rewards in exchange for longer duration lockups. Pye's mission is to bring this behavior onchain and build a transparent market where validators and stakers can transact.

Benefits:

• Stakers: Access to the best yield across all validators.

• Validators: Manage staker relationships, attract TVL, predictable revenue.

• Solana: Increase decentralization, yield discovery, levels the playing field for validators.

Primitive

Pye was built on the insight that validators are willing to share more rewards (inflation, MEV, priority fees) with their delegators in exchange for longer lockups.

Our vision is to provide the Solana ecosystem with a drop-in replacement for Stake Accounts that grant validators granular control over their relationship with stakers. Along the way, we aim to pave the road for validator-centric DeFi ecosystem, where financial products such as yield trading, loans, and enhanced yield strategies are made available directly from the validator layer.
