Stephen Akridge, co-founder of Solana, is facing a legal dispute with his ex-wife over allegations of misappropriation of substantial gains from Solana tokens. His ex-wife claims that Akridge used his expertise in crypto and blockchain to siphon off staking rewards from her digital wallet, resulting in her losing millions of dollars in income. The exact value of the disputed tokens is undisclosed. Akridge played a key role in developing the Solana blockchain platform and is now the CEO of a cybersecurity firm. The couple filed for divorce in February 2023, with Rossi's lawsuit alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud. Staking SOL tokens can grant an annual percentage yield ranging from 5.6% to 12%, and liquid staking platforms can boost yields by providing proxy tokens for use in other decentralized finance protocols.
