ADRA

ADRA runs a Solana validator. It is the new name of Adrastea Finance, a DeFi yield app on Solana that began in 2023. On 4 December 2025 the team said on X that "Adrastea is becoming ADRA". It would now focus on running a validator. This ADRA is not the aid charity with the same name.

You can stake SOL to the ADRA validator. Or you can hold adraSOL, a token that stakes with it and stays easy to move. Adrastea's older products were lrtsSOL, a restaking token built with Solayer, and Leverage JLP, a way to boost yield on Jupiter's JLP token. Both still appear in the docs, but they are no longer the focus.

What happened to Adrastea Finance? The ADRA rebrand explained

Adrastea Finance became ADRA in December 2025. The team said the move "reflects where we can deliver the most meaningful value". Its new job is to run a validator that helps keep Solana fast, reliable and spread out. The X account now uses the ADRA name.

The change had been coming for a while. In a 30 September 2025 post, Adrastea said it was growing its validator setup. It had added Jito restaking, Jito BAM and DoubleZero. The same post still promoted adraSOL and lrtsSOL for use in DeFi.

If you knew Adrastea as a JLP app, note one gap: the docs have not caught up. In October 2026 the docs index still covered only Leverage JLP and restaking. It had no page on the validator. We found no notice that the old products had closed. Check the app before you deposit.

ADRA validator: commission, Jito restaking and DoubleZero

The ADRA validator is a small Solana staking node. It runs as "Adrastea Validator", with the vote account adraBKLNY3DL3pg6SJRDYiMA8BsznaWpUdE42X41gbP. In October 2026 it took 5% commission and held well under 0.1% of all staked SOL, per Validators Solutions.

Commission is the share of your rewards the operator keeps. Say your stake earns 10 SOL in a year. At 5%, you keep 9.5 SOL and ADRA keeps half a SOL. The rate can change each epoch. Check the live rate on our Adrastea validator page, which also tracks uptime and stake.

ADRA added three extras in 2025, per its September post. It runs a node for Jito JTO$0.363+3.1% restaking, which lets it run services backed by restaked SOL. It uses Jito BAM, Jito's newer way of building blocks. And it joined DoubleZero 2Z$0.023-0.2%, a private fibre network that aims to move validator data faster than the public internet.

Sources differ on where the node sits. Sanctum's adraSOL page says the team stakes from South Africa, far from the big data centres. In October 2026, Validators Solutions showed the node with a Hong Kong host. Nodes can move, so check again before you rely on it.

adraSOL: liquid staking with the ADRA validator

adraSOL is ADRA's liquid staking token. You deposit SOL and it is staked with the ADRA validator. You get adraSOL back, which you can hold, move or use while your stake earns. Sanctum CLOUD$0.044+1.7% issues it, and its adraSOL page dates the token to 12 February 2025.

The mint address is sctmY8fJucsJatwHz6P48RuWBBkdBMNmSMuBYrWFdrw. Adrastea's app calls it "native SOL staking through Adrastea validator", with your stake kept liquid as adraSOL. Sanctum's page adds that the validator's block rewards fund airdrops for adraSOL holders.

The catch is size. adraSOL is a small token, so selling a lot of it fast can cost more than with the big ones. Compare yield, fees and pool size on our adraSOL stake pool page.

lrtsSOL: Adrastea liquid restaking with Solayer and Sonic

lrtsSOL is Adrastea's restaking token. You deposit SOL and get lrtsSOL back, while Solayer LP-SOLAYER$112.60+3.2% stakes and restakes the SOL for you. Restaking means the same SOL also helps secure other services, and earns extra rewards for it. The token went live in late 2024 with a Sonic SONIC$0.022+2.6% deal, reported by crypto.news.

Here is how it works. Solayer turns your SOL into sSOL and stakes it with validators. Those validators back a service that relies on restaked SOL. The first such service was Sonic, a gaming chain built on Solana. The technical docs set out each step.

Your rewards show up as a rising lrtsSOL price, per the lrtsSOL docs. Adrastea charges no fee while you hold. To leave, you can unstake and wait for the epoch to end, or swap lrtsSOL for SOL on a market. The docs say the BANX lending market took lrtsSOL as collateral.

Adrastea Leverage JLP and passive USDC lending pools

Leverage JLP was Adrastea's first product. It gave you leveraged exposure to JLP, the Jupiter JUP$0.260+4.4% liquidity token that earns fees from Jupiter's perpetuals exchange. It paired two kinds of user: lenders who supplied USDC or JLP, and "Boosters" who borrowed from them to buy more JLP.

The Adrastea FAQ sets out the costs. Lenders paid a 0.1% withdrawal fee, and their yield compounded daily. Boosters paid no protocol fee, only the borrowing rate owed to lenders, plus swap slippage of up to 3% on Meteora. Boosters could be liquidated if JLP's price fell far enough, and Adrastea kept leverage low to make that less likely.

For lenders, the catch was access to funds. When borrowing was high, not all deposits could be withdrawn at once. Higher rates were meant to pull in new deposits and free up liquidity. Since the December 2025 pivot, ADRA has not said whether Leverage JLP is still maintained.

Is ADRA (Adrastea) safe? Audits, custody and risks

ADRA's main risk depends on which product you use. Staking SOL straight to the ADRA validator is the simplest option. Your SOL stays in your own stake account and the validator never holds it. adraSOL adds Sanctum's stake pool contracts on top. lrtsSOL and Leverage JLP add the most moving parts.

One audit is published. Offside Labs reviewed the Leverage JLP contracts in August 2024 (report, listed on the audits page). We found no published audit of Adrastea's own liquid restaking code. adraSOL runs on Sanctum's stake pool programs, which Sanctum maintains separately.

There are other limits to weigh:

• The docs predate the pivot and have no section on the validator, so the documented risk picture is out of date.
• lrtsSOL chains several protocols together: Adrastea, Solayer, its validators and a restaking service. A failure at any step affects the token, and the FAQ says smart contract risk "can never be entirely eliminated".
• No program addresses are published in the docs, so we could not confirm who can upgrade Adrastea's contracts.
• adraSOL and lrtsSOL are small tokens, so exiting a large position quickly may cost more than with major LSTs.
• adrastea.fi blocks visitors from a list of countries that includes the United States and Canada. The terms of service put Amalthea Inc, a Panama company, in charge of the service.

Who should use ADRA: validator staking, adraSOL or lrtsSOL?

ADRA suits SOL holders who want to back a small, independent validator instead of the biggest names. Staking straight to the ADRA validator is best if you are happy to keep SOL in a normal stake account. It has the fewest smart contract risks.

adraSOL suits you if you want the same validator but need a token you can move or use in DeFi. It is small, so it fits modest sums better than large ones you may need to sell fast. lrtsSOL suits you if you want restaking rewards and accept more contract risk to get them.

ADRA is a poor fit if you need current docs, live in a blocked country, or want a large token that is easy to sell.

ADRA alternatives: other Solana validators and liquid staking tokens

The main alternatives are other small validator tokens on Sanctum, and the big pools. A big pool such as JitoSOL spreads your stake over many validators. It is also easier to sell in size. A small token like adraSOL backs one operator, which helps spread stake across the network.

For restaking, you can use Jito's restaking system or Solayer directly, without lrtsSOL in the middle. To compare validators on commission, uptime and stake, start with our validator list. Our stake pools page shows pool sizes and yields side by side.

Solana Compass runs its own validator and the compassSOL token, so it competes with ADRA for stake. Keep that in mind when you read this comparison.

ADRA token, team and funding

We could not find a tradeable ADRA token. In a March 2024 Jupiter forum post, Adrastea planned an ADRA token for voting on the protocol. The plan set a supply of 100 million and a launch in late April 2024. Our token data showed no such token in October 2026. The name ADRA now means the validator business.

The same post named a team that goes by nicknames. BM is CEO and founder, Threefigs is CMO, Null is CTO, and Petar runs partnerships. The post said Adrastea raised $230,000 in an early round. Its backers were Solana community groups, among them Yogg DAO, Midcurve and Monke Ventures.
