Publicly listed Canadian Solana infrastructure investment and holding company Sol Methods (CSE:HODL OTCMKTS:CYFRF) has announced the introduction of its new Solana mobile staking utility from OrangeFin Ventures.
Sol Methods successfully acquired the Solana validator OrangeFin Ventures at the end of December 2025.
OrangeFin Ventures is a reputable provider of non-custodial staking solutions, recognized for its exceptional performance and security.
The innovative application, now available on the Solana dApp Store, is the first non-custodial staking solution that allows investors to stake Solana (SOL) directly from their mobile devices, offering a seamless and user-friendly experience.
The mobile application will enable users to access staking rewards ranging from 8-10% APY, marking a significant advancement in mobile staking for Solana.
On January 9, the company announced a CAD $27.5 million private placement financing with ParaFi Capital, which will be utilized to enhance Sol Methods’ SOL token treasury holdings.
Sol Methods’ stock rose by 27% following the announcement yesterday (Thursday, January 16) to CAD $4.66. According to sources, Sol Methods is highly profitable.

“This app will provide Solana investors the ability to maximize their Solana investment with a simple, secure, and high-yield staking solution,” stated Leah Wald, CEO of Sol Methods.
“As our first major technological initiative, this launch signifies a crucial step in our journey of investing in and promoting innovation, allowing us to develop cutting-edge solutions within the blockchain infrastructure.”
Well-connected on Wall Street, Wald is a co-founder of Valkyrie Investments and its former CEO.
Key features include:
- Non-Custodial Model: Investors maintain complete control of their keys, enhancing security and ownership of their assets.
- Higher Staking Returns: Investors can expect returns ranging from 8% to 10%, significantly exceeding traditional custodial platforms.
- Compliance and Security: Orangefin, an ISO 27001-compliant validator, adheres to the highest standards of security and reliability.
“Orangefin has been committed to developing top-tier validator technology for the Solana community,” remarked Max Kaplan, Founder of OrangeFin and Head of Staking at Sol Methods.
“With the resources and strategic expertise from Sol Methods, we have elevated everything we have built to new heights. This represents another advancement in our mission to deliver even greater value and performance to the Solana ecosystem.”
New all-time high for Sol Methods today.

In November 2025, Anthony Pompliano was appointed as an advisor to Sol Methods.
Available now on Solana dApp Store and coming to Google Play and Apple App Store
The application is currently available on the Solana dApp Store and is anticipated to launch on Google Play and the Apple App Store later this year.
This recent announcement follows Sol Methods’ consistent series of validator acquisitions over the past six months, as the company aims to become a significant player in the Solana staking ecosystem.
The rapidly expanding firm currently stakes 1,505,145 SOL (CAD $440,249,107) across all of its validator operations, of which it directly owns 142,801 SOL.
Sol Methods has adopted a strategy similar to that of MicroStrategy, the cryptocurrency acquirer, but with the crucial distinction of providing its shareholders with exposure to profits generated from its Solana staking activities. MicroStrategy was recently included in the Nasdaq 100.
Meanwhile, Sol Methods has applied for a listing on the Nasdaq, which is expected to unlock significant liquidity into the stock. The company’s primary listing is on the Canadian Securities Exchange where it trades under the HODL ticker. The stock is also available in the US through its OTC secondary listing (OTC Pink: CYFRF).
