Post by sajalgupta about Drift Staked SOL ($DRIFT)
$DRIFT page check: the name and categories describe a different token
This page is titled "Drift Staked SOL $DRIFT" and tagged Liquid Staking + Derivatives. But Drift Staked SOL is dSOL, a separate token (mint Dso1bDeDjCQxTrWHqUUi63oBvV7Mdm6WaobLbQ7gnPQ in Jupiter's verified list). This page's mint, DriFtupJYLTosbwoN8koMbEYSx54aFAVLddWsbksjwg7, is the DRIFT token itself. A newcomer could easily think DRIFT is a SOL liquid-staking token.
The bigger gap: Drift relaunched as Velocity. Velocity's "Migrate from Drift" doc says it is a fork with a new program ID (vELoC1…), the Drift program is paused, no onchain state carries over, and settlement moved to USDT. Yet drift.trade still links "Stake DRIFT" to the old safety module and shows USDC/SOL/wBTC earn cards at 0.00% APY. I also read the ~40 pages linked from docs.velocity.exchange and found no stated role for DRIFT in Velocity.
Suggestions: rename the page to DRIFT (Drift / Velocity), drop the Liquid Staking tag, and link the migration doc. Question for the team: does DRIFT govern or stake into Velocity at all, or only the paused Drift program?
No affiliation, no position. I didn't connect a wallet or trade; this is a clarity check.
