As institutional activity on Solana accelerates, two trends are clear: Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Companies are formalising on-chain treasury workflows, and institutions are expanding their SOL allocations. They need standardised, compliant rails that don’t force a trade-off between yield, security, and operational control.
Today, we’re introducing TruStake SOL (“TruSOL”): TruFin’s permissioned, institutional-grade liquid staking solution for Solana.
“We launched TruSOL to meet two clear market realities: the continued rise of new DATs professionalising on-chain treasury operations, and the growing proliferation of SOL among institutions” said Matt Molloy, CEO of TruFin. “With TruSOL, we’ve paired permissioned, KYC/AML-gated access, qualified custody integrations, and audited, security-first infrastructure with optimised rewards and unique yield opportunities so institutions can operate with confidence on Solana.”
What is TruSOL?
TruSOL is a permissioned liquid staking product for institutional SOL holders. Approved participants complete KYC/AML onboarding, deposit SOL through the TruStake SOL Vault, and receive the TruSOL liquid staking receipt token in return - designed for capital efficiency with optimised rewards. Participants can access liquidity on demand via designated providers and supported venues, while maintaining counterparty controls and reporting readiness.
Who it’s for:
Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Companies accumulating SOL for their shareholders
Custodians and exchanges offering liquid staking to institutional clients
Asset managers, funds, and platforms that require security, auditability, and compliant workflow fit
Spotlight: Solana & rising institutional demand
Institutions and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are increasingly turning to Solana for low-latency execution, predictable fees, and deepening ecosystem support. As custody, market infrastructure, and DeFi venues mature on Solana, institutions are seeking permissioned, qualified custody ways to access SOL liquid staking and yield opportunities, precisely the gap TruSOL fills.
Why institutions choose TruSOL
Compliance-first access - KYC/AML onboarding; allow-listed mint/burn flows for approved wallets
Qualified custodian operations - integrate with existing custody and exchange workflows
Security posture - independently audited smart contracts and ongoing bug-bounty coverage; security-first change control
Optimised rewards - auto-restaking of rewards for operational compounding and priority fee sharing
Liquidity & yield pathways - through TruFin’s network of institutional OTC (Over-The-Counter) counterparties, designated providers and supported venues
Reporting readiness - documentation and exports designed for finance and operations teams

Is TruSOL open to anyone?
No. Access to TruFin’s TruSOL smart contracts for direct mint/burn is permissioned. Participants complete KYC/AML and use allow-listed wallets to mint/burn.
Can transfers be restricted?
The TruSOL token is permissionless in nature, meaning it can be transferred freely between wallets and composable across DeFi. Direct mint/burn via TruFin’s smart contracts is permissioned.
How does liquidity work?
We have supported liquidity pathways at launch via designated providers and supported OTC counterparties, while maintaining compliant standards.
What about APY?
APY is indicative and varies due to network conditions. No performance is guaranteed.
