Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

Tramplin is a non-custodial Solana staking platform that pools staking revenue and pays it out through regular, epoch, and larger periodic random draws, with the draws proved on-chain. TVL was about $1.33 million at the 2026-08-15 survey, far under our $100 million materiality line. Rejected on size: one practice advising 100 households moves $1M to $8M into a venue on the same research, and below $100M TVL that book becomes the exit crush. Size alone decides it, whatever the protocol’s quality. Sustained growth reopens the file.

The research file

Mechanism applicability

Tramplin uses native Solana stake delegation to its validator: SOL remains in the user’s stake account rather than being wrapped or deposited into a DeFi contract. Instead of paying all validator rewards pro rata, Tramplin pools the earned rewards and redistributes them through verifiable random drawings. That delegated pool and its current value are the surveyed record, directly satisfying the shared v1 below-materiality dossier.

Current observation and reward lifecycle

The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 classified tramplin.io as a Staking Pool and reported approximately $1.33M entirely on Solana. Tramplin’s current FAQ describes a revised schedule: regular draws about every 20 minutes receive 30% of epoch rewards, seven epoch-draw winners receive 50%, and a big draw every 15 epochs accumulates 20%. The memo now follows that primary description rather than the stale ten-minute and monthly summary.

Control and exit applicability

Delegators retain wallet control and can deactivate stake at any time, but standard Solana deactivation of about 2.5 days applies before funds become liquid. Tramplin controls its validator operations and reward-distribution policy and reserves terms-based authority to exclude, adjust, disregard or aggregate participation it judges abusive. Commit-reveal plus ORAO VRF supports draw verifiability, but reward variance and operator policy replace ordinary pro-rata staking income.

Why the class rule decides

At roughly $1.33M tracked stake, a $1M to $8M advised allocation would dominate the system before validator operations, randomized rewards or deactivation capacity are tested. The shared v1 below-materiality dossier therefore decides. Reopen after DefiLlama TVL remains above $100M for 30 consecutive days, then review validator performance and concentration, reward-code and VRF controls, operator exclusions, incidents, proposed-size deactivation, legal treatment of prize-like rewards, and named conventional Solana staking alternatives.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
