# Kyros

## Overview
Kyros is a liquid restaking protocol on Solana, built on Jito (Re)staking infrastructure. Users deposit SOL or JitoSOL and receive liquid restaking tokens (kySOL, kyJTO) that combine staking rewards, MEV rewards, and additional restaking rewards from Node Consensus Networks (NCNs).

KyrosDAO LLC is structured as a DAO with futarchy governance via MetaDAO. Mint authority is fully delegated to MetaDAO futarchy — tokens can be re-created under governance if needed, which enabled the burn of unclaimed airdrop tokens without permanent supply loss risk.

## Key Details
- **Token:** KYROS (original 50M supply, reduced to ~45.58M after airdrop burn)
- **Products:** kySOL (liquid restaking for SOL), kyJTO (liquid restaking for JTO)
- **TVL:** ~$36.3M (84% kySOL, 16% kyJTO)
- **Holders:** ~15,000 combined (kySOL + kyJTO)
- **Launch:** No private investors — fair launch, DEX-focused distribution
- **Airdrop:** 25% of supply (12.5M) distributed October 2025; 38.25% unclaimed and burned January 2026
- **Website:** kyros.fi
