Additionally, Solv participated as a strategic angel investor in Utexo’s $7.5 million seed funding round, led by Tether.
Polygon has officially launched its native liquid staking token, sPOL, designed to enhance returns for POL token stakers. As Polygon’s native liquid staking token, sPOL unlocks approximately 3.6 billion staked POL tokens and grants stakers priority access to transaction fee revenue sharing. Currently, only about 4%–5% of POL is liquid; sPOL addresses the issue of idle capital being unable to participate in DeFi yield opportunities. Users can migrate existing stakes to sPOL via the Polygon Staking Portal—without waiting periods and with uninterrupted rewards—while new stakes will automatically receive sPOL. The initial sPOL redemption ratio is 1:1, increasing as staking rewards accrue. sPOL supports liquidity provision, collateralization, and yield-boosting DeFi strategies, and can be redeemed at any time for POL plus accumulated rewards. The token was initially launched by Polygon Labs and audited by ChainSecurity and Certora; official liquidity will be seeded through an on-chain liquidity pool. Polygon cautions that sPOL carries smart contract risk, validator misbehavior penalty risk, and market volatility risk.

The Polkadot mainnet, parachains, and native DOT remain secure and unaffected.
