Building the Next Solana Staking Primitive with RevTec

Building the Next Solana Staking Primitive

Liquid staking tokens (LSTs) have become the foundation for DeFi, but despite the creation of thousands of LSTs, stakers still have limited choices for yield.RevTec takes a different approach. By splitting Solana’s two reward streams into separate liquid staking tokens it lets users decide exactly which yield they want to capture, either the steady issuance rewards or the fast-moving REV rewards tied to on-chain activity.

Started by winning the honorable mention award at the Colosseum “Breakout” hackathon in May 2025 and fully bootstrapped, RevTec is a patient project with intention to upgrade Solana staking - allowing SOL holders to align their capital with the growth of Solana’s network usage. 

Two Tokens With Two Streams of Value

Every SOL staked on Solana generates two kinds of rewards: newly minted SOL and REV tips/priority fees. RevTec isolates them into:

• 🟣 revSOL, which grows with REV rewards as Solana’s usage increases
  
  
• 🔵 issSOL, which represents the more stable issuance rewards
  
  

Users deposit SOL and mint both tokens at the current pool ratio, and can redeem at any time. The frontend automatically handles swaps in the background so each staker ends up with the exposure they want without juggling two assets manually. This is the first liquid staking protocol on Solana to offer direct participation in the chain’s own economic growth.

How 4 Point O Labs Fits In

We have been working side by side with RevTec, turning a hackathon prototype into a production-grade platform.

Our team has been responsible for core Solana program development, including:

• Mint and redeem mechanics
  
  
• Pool accounting
  
  
• Validator integration
  
  
• Helped design the architecture connecting smart contract, validator, backend services, and oracle inputs
  
  
• Supporting frontend and backend development
  
  
• Preparing code for external audits

What’s Next

• Finalising production architecture and launch processes
  
  
• Completing and integrating oracle mechanisms for pricing and pool ratios
  
  
• Achieving third-party audits and implementing feedback
  
  
• Polishing frontend experience to make split-yield staking accessible to anyone on Solana

Why It Matters

RevTec isn’t chasing points or hype. It is quietly building the rails for a more transparent, composable and choice-driven staking ecosystem on Solana. For 4 Point O Labs this is exactly the kind of partnership we look for: ambitious founders solving hard technical problems with long-term alignment.

Helping RevTec move from concept to production is part of our mission to support the infrastructure that the next wave of Web3 will run on.
