This guide is a technical walkthrough of how to use Aftermath Finance to participate in Aftermath Liquid Restaking on the Solana network and mint the afSOL token.
Step 1: Obtain a Solana Liquid Staking Token (LST)
Before using Aftermath, you need a supported Solana LST, such as mSOL or jitoSOL. These tokens already represent staked SOL and are earning staking yield.
Step 2: Connecting to the Aftermath dApp
Navigate to the Aftermath Finance Official platform. Connect your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom).
Step 3: Restaking Your LST to Mint afSOL
Go to the "Stake" or "Restake" tab.
Select the LST you hold and specify the amount you wish to restake.
The interface will show the amount of afSOL token you will receive.
Execute the transaction.
Behind the scenes, your LST is delegated to Aftermath's curated network of validators who are also running Aftermath Actively Validated Services (AVS). This is the core of the Aftermath security model.
Step 4: Earning Rewards
Your new afSOL token is now earning three layers of rewards:
The base Solana staking yield from the original LST.
Aftermath real yield from AVS validation.
Aftermath Points Program multipliers for future airdrops.
For a full breakdown of the validator selection criteria, refer to the Full Official Documentation.
