xSOL: Learning, Earning, and Evolving with Solana

Dear Sanctum Pioneers!

We are excited to present xSOL, a Liquid Staking Token (LST) designed to optimize the Solana staking experience through ElagabalX. Our mission is to ease the path for new users into the world of decentralized finance, making it more accessible, informative, and innovative.

ElagabalX: A Story That Began with Curiosity

Four years ago, my wife and I took our first steps into the world of blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Thanks to the TDS program and the strong technical community of SOLANA, driven by an unquenchable curiosity and desire to understand this new world, we gradually immersed ourselves in this fascinating field. This is how ElagabalX Validator was born - initially a small project that grew into a business and then into a dream.

As our knowledge grew, we realized how difficult it is for newcomers to enter the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain due to the fear of the unknown. This led to the expansion of ElagabalX’s mission in 2023: to create our own educational platform to attract new users to the Solana ecosystem. Our validator, providing exceptional performance and security, became the first step in realizing this idea. Since the 14th TDS cycle in May 2021, we have been a dedicated supporter of the Solana network. ElagabalX is not just a high-performance validator, but a community for knowledge exchange, embodying the journey from novices to experts ready to share their experience and help others overcome barriers in the blockchain world.

Introducing xSOL

xSOL is not just another LST; it’s a cornerstone that allows us to draw more attention to our mission. xSOL offers an impressive 8.24% APY, maximizing returns for our stakers.
You can not only earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity but also participate in our SOL Invictus loyalty program, which helps us build our own community of like-minded individuals.

SOL Invictus

The SOL Invictus program is a loyalty program that rewards long-term stakers and active community participants with additional benefits and opportunities. xSOL holders are involved in various activities: selecting and predicting weekly MEME winners, promoting winners on social media, learning, and earning points with our Education Classes. All these activities allow our community not only to gain valuable knowledge but also to earn additional APY.

To demonstrate the real impact of our SOL Invictus program, let’s break down the rewards for one of our top stakers over the first three weeks:

Staking Position:

  • Native SOL stake: 246.13 SOL (Base APY: 8.52%)
  • xSOL: 117.43 (Base APY: 7.98%)
  • Total stake: 363.56 SOL

Airdrop Rewards:

Week 1: 6.34 SOL
Week 2: 5.7 SOL (in $BILLY)
Week 3: 2 SOL (in GIGA)

Total airdrop value: 14.04 SOL

APY Calculation:

  1. Base APY (weighted average): ((246.13 * 8.52%) + (117.43 * 7.98%)) / 363.56 = 8.34%
  2. Additional APY from airdrops: (14.04 / 363.56) * (52/3) * 100 = 67.16%
  3. Total APY: 8.34% + 67.16% = 75.50%

This means that participants in our SOL Invictus program are currently enjoying an effective APY of 75.50%, which is significantly higher than standard staking returns!

Education Class

Creating and educating a community has always been our primary task. Along this path, we’ve encountered many challenges: creating educational content, attracting interested experts, contributing our own knowledge, and financing development. Every day we improve to make our dream a reality. Already, our “Education Class” series, providing in-depth knowledge about blockchain and DeFi, is moving from X(Twitter) to our Discord and will be continuously updated. We’re glad that our community is growing organically, showing people’s interest in our vision.

We release Education Classes several times a week. Each member of our community studies an informative article and takes a quiz, earning points that will bring more rewards in the SOL Invictus program in the future.

At this stage, this form is a primitive prototype that will be improved. Our goal is to create a platform for knowledge exchange for everyone, not just to transfer our knowledge to the community.

Why Choose xSOL?

  1. At its core, LST is staking associated with one or a pool of validators. ElagabalX validator’s history of 100% uptime and top-tier security measures ensures that your assets are in safe hands.
  2. Active participation in learning, governance, and meme coin selection contributes to creating a vibrant and engaged community that will eventually evolve into a DAO.
  3. xSOL holders receive and pass on access to live educational content that helps navigate the complex world of cryptocurrencies.

You’re not only earning for yourself but also helping us create a project with fundamental, benevolent goals. Knowledge should shine like the sun, like the invincible sun!

Looking to the Future

Our vision for xSOL goes beyond simple staking. We are developing the Magistratus dApp, scheduled for phased launch throughout 2024-2025. This platform will offer advanced staking management, improved governance participation, deep DeFi integration, and the evolution of the community into a DAO.

We are also committed to constant innovation in liquid staking, striving to make it more flexible and profitable for everyone. Our goal is to create the most active and dedicated community in the industry, united by shared values and a passion for innovation.

Join us in shaping the future of Solana staking with xSOL. Together, we’re not just participating in the blockchain revolution – we’re leading it.

XSOL is one if the best LSTs. Their goal is spreading the education on solana ecosystem within and outside crypto. In addition, they have the best ROI among all LSTs out there as of today. You get a yield of around 8.3%. In addition, you get meme weekly airdrop directly into your wallet. So, combined APY is close to 75%. Selection of meme is decided by community with weekly voting in their discord. Many Sanctum folks are already part of this awesome project.

Having recently began staking with ElagrabalX, I enjoyed reading this immensley. I was not aware of such humble beginnings to the project. That makes it even more special to be apart of.

Their main website is loaded with information on LST’s. They have CLS, liquid, and native staking options. Something for everyone! There are great walkthrough videos on how to accomlish tasks and safely, properly, get your choice of staking up and running.

Another eye opener from reading this article, particularly regarding their SOL Invictus program; :point_down:

The discord community is small but mighty, and growing. Project leaders are quick to respond and see through issues. They do a great job of listening to community suggestions, and make changes real time. Pop into the discord and I’m sure you’ll see some friendly familiar folks.

Thanks for the write up ElagrabalX !

This LST really goes beyond a very competitive APY. The core concept is education and innovation for new members in the Solana ecosystem and LST adoption. The educational program is really the cornerstone of the Sol Invictus ethos, where no only the holder bemefits but facilitates learning material to help the growing community. I am happy to be an early adopter of xSOL and look forward to continue growing along side this LST.

I love this post Marcus.

Best of luck!!!

Really enjoy XSOL lore, passion, and especially the design!

Is there any insight on what problem Magistratus dApp will solve?

First of all, it improves the experience of interacting with the Solan ecosystem. As well as with our ecosystem. This will be another brick laid on the way to our dream. First, we will offer a pleasant and user-friendly UI, then we will be able to build a learning ecosystem for our users.

So the purpose of dapp is for users to learn about sol ecosystem in a fun way or there is more to it?

The primary task is to conveniently manage your staking portfolio, view DeFi positions, NFT, as well as learn how to use these financial instruments.

It’s been great to be part of this community! I’ve got many friends there and enjoyed the weekly meme airdrops. But most importantly, I appreciate the focus on developing into an educational project. I truly believe the world needs all the help it can get to onboard people into the DeFi space and help them prosper. The future is coming, and we shouldn’t leave anyone behind!
