Reinventing the Solana Virtual Machine with Hardware Acceleration, Solayer

Innovation for High Performance Dapps

Solayer (InfiniSVM) is a layer 1 blockchain network that significantly upgrades the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) using specialized hardware and optimized infrastructure. Here’s a breakdown of what makes it unique and why it’s a game changer for high-performance decentralized apps.

At its core, Solayer introduces InfiniSVM, a massively parallel, multi executor cluster architecture that leverages:

  • RDMA & InfiniBand: These technologies bypass traditional OS networking, enabling near-zero latency and up to 100 Gbps inter node speeds.
  • FPGAs/GPUs: Offload signature verification and scheduling operations for faster, more efficient processing .
  • Software‑Defined Networking (SDN): Dynamically routes transactions for optimal pathing and load distribution.

Together, this hardware first design enables Solayer to support over 1 million TPS, sub millisecond latency, and instantaneous finality (~0.01 s).

Despite its radical architecture, InfiniSVM remains fully compatible with existing Solana dApps and tooling, no redeployment or bridging required. Users benefit from Solana native wallets like Phantom and Backpack with instant transaction experiences.

Solayer enhances security and growth via a robust restaking mechanism:

  • Stake SOL through Solayer and receive sSOL, a wrapped token that captures base staking yield, MEV rewards, and restaking earnings via endogenous AVSs (application specific validators).
  • Delegated stake grants priority QoS, boosting network performance and reinforcing validator quality.

This model not only secures the network but also aligns user incentivization with ecosystem scaling.

Solayer doesn’t stop at infrastructure, it delivers a vertically integrated modern finance stack:

  • sUSD: A liquid, yield-bearing stablecoin backed by tokenized U.S. Treasuries (rated “A”), auto rebasing and designed for composability in DeFi.
  • Emerald Card: A payment card enabling real-world spending of crypto, seamlessly linked to sUSD for fiat integration.

The LAYER token is the heart of Solayer’s economy:

  • Governance: Holders vote on network upgrades, treasury allocations, and ecosystem grants.
  • Utility: Powers restaking, secures AVSs, and fuels the broader DeFi ecosystem alongside tokens like sSOL .

Solayer redefines what’s possible with the Solana Virtual Machine. By marrying hardware acceleration and optimized infrastructure with seamless SVM compatibility, restaking mechanics, and built-in financial tools, it pushes blockchain usability into the next frontier:

  • ⁓1 million TPS opening doors to real-time, internet-scale use cases
  • Robust staking and governance ensuring aligned incentives and security
  • Full ecosystem integration from DeFi to fiat payments

The LAYER token fuels this ecosystem, offering a cohesive solution that goes beyond a mere ledger layer, it’s an entire financial platform, built on Solana, but supercharged by InfiniSVM.
