Fragmetric, which started out as a Solana-focused restaking protocol, just made a move that could really broaden its reach. They’ve announced that their liquid staking token, wfragSOL, is now a cross-chain asset, thanks to integration with Chainlink’s CCIP.
What does that mean, exactly? Well, users can now securely transfer wfragSOL between Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Solana. That kind of mobility hasn’t really been available for Solana restakers before. It opens things up.
Not Just for Solana Anymore
Up until now, wfragSOL was pretty much tied to its home chain. That made sense—Fragmetric was Solana’s first native liquid restaking protocol, after all. But the project has been building toward something more flexible, something they call the FRAG-22 standard.
With this update, token holders aren’t limited to DeFi opportunities on just one blockchain. They can move their assets over to Ethereum or Arbitrum if there’s a better yield or a new protocol worth trying. You don’t have to abandon Solana to do it. You’re just… not stuck there.
What FRAG-22 Brings to the Table
I think a lot of people see staking tokens as pretty simple things, but FRAG-22 tries to be more than that. It allows for multi-asset deposits, which gives users more strategy options. Rewards are tracked transparently, in real time—no guesswork.
It also uses Solana’s token extensions, which helps with managing liquidity and keeping things clear for everyone holding the token. For developers, the standard is modular, meaning they can build more complex products on top of it.
Why Moving Between Chains Actually Matters
DeFi isn’t staying siloed anymore. People want their assets to be usable everywhere—wherever the action is. Chainlink’s CCIP lets wfragSOL move across chains in a secure way, which is kind of the whole foundation here.
Without that, you’re basically locked in. And when you’re locked in, you miss out. This way, staked SOL isn’t just sitting there. It’s working across ecosystems.
A Step Toward More Connected Liquidity
This could be good for Fragmetric’s growth, obviously. More chains mean more users, more integrations—lending pools on Arbitrum, liquidity markets on Ethereum, that kind of thing.
But it also helps Solana’s liquidity interact with other chains instead of staying isolated. wfragSOL could turn into a bridge, of sorts. Making Solana staking part of a bigger conversation.
It’s still early, but this feels like a meaningful step. Not a revolution, maybe, but a logical and pretty significant upgrade. We’ll see how the market takes it.
