Use Solayer

The Use Solayer tool, part of AgentiPy, allows users to interact with the Solayer platform (https://app.solayer.org), specifically for staking SOL to receive sSOL (Solayer Staked SOL), which is a liquid staking token.

Functionality

This tool is implemented in the SolayerManager class. It interacts directly with the Solayer API to get a transaction for staking, which is then signed by the agent's wallet and submitted to the Solana blockchain.

Key Methods:

  • stake_with_solayer(agent: SolanaAgentKit, amount: float) -> str:

    • Stakes a specified amount of SOL with Solayer to mint sSOL.

    • Parameters:

      • agent: The SolanaAgentKit instance (provides wallet and connection).

      • amount: The amount of SOL to stake.

    • Makes a POST request to the Solayer API endpoint (https://app.solayer.org/api/action/restake/ssol) with the agent's wallet address and the staking amount.

    • The API returns a base64 encoded, serialized VersionedTransaction.

    • This transaction is then decoded, signed by the agent's wallet.

    • The signed transaction is sent to the Solana network and confirmed.

    • Returns the transaction signature as a string.

Important Considerations:

  • Direct API Interaction & On-Chain: This tool first interacts with the Solayer API to fetch a pre-built transaction. This transaction is then signed locally using the agent's wallet and submitted directly to the Solana blockchain. This is an on-chain financial transaction.

  • Liquid Staking: When you stake SOL with Solayer, you receive sSOL, a liquid staking token. Understand how sSOL accrues value and the risks associated with liquid staking protocols (e.g., smart contract risk, de-pegging risk if sSOL trades differently from SOL).

  • API Reliance: The construction of the staking transaction relies on the Solayer API.

  • Fees: The transaction will incur standard Solana network fees. Solayer might also have protocol fees, which would be embedded in the transaction returned by their API.
