A Solana liquid staking token holding $215m, with the thinnest published evidence base of any liquid staking protocol in this comparison.
Our assessment
Drift Staked SOL holds $215m and scores lowest of the fifteen liquid staking protocols in this comparison. No audit report was retrievable at a public address, and the transparency and documentation indicators returned very little.
Staking derivatives issued as ecosystem features
Many protocols now issue a staking derivative as an add-on to a main product, and the derivative frequently receives less engineering attention and less published review than the flagship. Holders should not assume the parent protocol's reputation transfers to a secondary product — our checks here suggest it does not.
What can go wrong specifically
A staking derivative can fail through incorrect reward accounting, an unhandled slashing event, a redemption mechanism that jams during stress, or a peg that breaks when secondary liquidity thins. Each of these is precisely what an audit report examines, and none can be assessed from a TVL figure.
Reading a 3.6
This is not an allegation. It records that a prospective holder cannot read an audit, cannot verify the redemption mechanics, and cannot find documented incident history at conventional addresses. Publishing those would change the score substantially without changing the code.
Who it suits
On published evidence, Solana stakers should prefer Jito, which publishes audits and holds far deeper liquidity. This product suits users already inside its ecosystem who have reviewed the contracts themselves.
How rivals compare
Frequently asked
Does this score mean Drift Staked SOL is safe?
No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded market data. Contract risk is not tested by us.
Where do the TVL and audit figures come from?
A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Both are re-runnable by anyone.
Why do some protocols score zero on audits?
Because no audit report is linked in the public record. The indicator records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
