Tramplin, a premium staking platform built on the Solana blockchain and backed by iTreasury Ventures, announced its public launch on February 4th, 2026. The platform introduces a novel reward redistribution mechanism inspired by premium bonds, designed specifically to benefit smaller SOL holders.
The core innovation of Tramplin is its probabilistic redistribution of collected staking rewards. This mechanism aims to give retail participants access to potential outsized returns while ensuring they retain full control of their principal SOL stake. The project's stated mission is to empower the "backbone of the Solana ecosystem"—SOL holders—by offering upside potential that was previously accessible only to large stakeholders or "whales."
During its test phase, Tramplin reported observing periods of elevated effective Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for small stakers. This was driven by the dynamics of the initial committed stake and the unique redistribution model.
Operationally, Tramplin is built entirely within Solana's native staking framework. Users delegate their SOL directly to a validator node, meaning the platform introduces no smart-contract custody or additional counterparty risk. It leverages provably fair randomness (via Verifiable Random Function or VRF) and Merkle-based transparency to ensure fairness and security, aligning with Solana's native security model.
The launch coincides with the opening of Tramplin's Strategic Partner Program. This program invites creators, analysts, auditors, and ecosystem builders to participate in reviewing and sharing the protocol. It is positioned as a low-overhead, transparent alternative to running a private validator, featuring audit-first transparency, lifetime revenue sharing, and community Boost Points.
Tramplin was founded in early 2025 and is backed by iTreasury Ventures, a firm known as an early investor in Solana, Polkadot, and other major blockchain projects.
