I. Reasons Why Solayer is the Most Promising Layer1 on Solana
1. Breakthroughs in Technical Performance:
Hardware Acceleration and High Performance: Solayer achieves dedicated hardware (such as ASIC/FPGA) and software co-design through InfiniSVM, offloading high computation load tasks (such as signature verification) to chips, with EdDSA signature verification speed reaching 1.4 million times/second (FPGA solution improves 17 times compared to CPU), combined with RDMA network optimization (latency reduced to microsecond level) and smart network cards (latency 0.7μs), transaction processing efficiency approaches physical limits.
Dynamic Sharding and Infinite Scalability: Utilizing dynamic sharding technology to automatically allocate computing resources based on load, a single cluster TPS has reached 227,000, and performance can scale linearly with the number of clusters, with a theoretical target of 1 million TPS, completely breaking through the scalability bottleneck of blockchain.
2. Ecosystem Compatibility and Developer-Friendly:
Seamless Migration of the Solana Ecosystem: Fully compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), supporting zero-cost migration of existing projects (such as Raydium AMM contracts), reducing transaction slippage by 62%, improving liquidation efficiency by 89%, accelerating ecosystem expansion.
Hybrid Consensus Mechanism: Combining PoA (Proof of Authority) and PoS (Proof of Stake), achieving sub-second finality (transaction confirmation time 1 millisecond) while ensuring security, balancing high-frequency trading and decentralization requirements.
3. Strategic Positioning and Market Potential:
Filling the Gaps in the Solana Ecosystem: Solayer addresses the performance bottlenecks of Solana's single chain through hardware acceleration and sharding technology, while relying on Solana's vast developer base and ecosystem resources to form a closed loop of 'high-performance public chain + native applications'.
Compliance Layout: Collaborating with institutions like OpenEden to connect to the fiat system through compliant channels, reducing regulatory risks and attracting traditional capital and institutional investors.
II. Why Should Everyone Have an Emerald Card?
1. Seamless Connection Between Crypto and Reality:
Global Payment Capability: Supports direct spending of USDC at global VISA merchants, covering mainstream channels such as Apple Pay and Alipay, without the need to exchange for fiat, addressing the circulation pain points of cryptocurrency.
Compliant Cross-Border Withdrawals: Physical cards support ATM withdrawals of fiat currencies (such as RMB, USD), with no risk of card freezing, international transaction fees as low as 1.5% + $0.1, suitable for cross-border payment and fund entry and exit needs.
2. Combining Income and Consumption:
Deposits as Wealth Management: Depositing USDC can be converted to sUSD (annual yield 4-5%) or used to purchase U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills), achieving an integrated approach of 'payment + value addition'.
Consumption Incentives: Accumulate points to redeem assets such as BTC/SOL, participating in ecosystem activities (such as spending at specific merchants) can earn Layer token airdrops, activating user engagement.
3. Security and Low Entry Barriers:
Hardware-Level Security: Relying on Solana chain's multi-signature and cold wallet storage technology, transaction processing speed approaches VISA level (2000 TPS), ensuring asset security.
Compliance and Convenience: Access to the fiat system through compliant channels, simple account opening process, although there is a $75 card issuance fee, the long-term benefits and payment flexibility make it highly cost-effective.
Summary
With hardware acceleration, dynamic sharding, and ecosystem compatibility as three major technical advantages, Solayer becomes the Layer1 with the highest performance ceiling in the Solana ecosystem, while the Emerald Card serves as the key hub connecting on-chain crypto assets with the real world. For users, the Emerald Card is not just a payment tool but also an entry point into the DeFi yield system and the crypto-economic ecosystem, especially irreplaceable in terms of compliance safety, yield aggregation, and scenario coverage.
