Solayer has been gaining some traction in the Solana ecosystem recently, introducing new tricks in the staking protocol. Simply put, it allows users to stake SOL or liquidity staking tokens (LSTs) based on Solana and earn rewards through various AVS and blockchain solutions. However, what really excites the market is its InfiniSVM technology—this thing is driven by hardware acceleration and claims to provide over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) for on-chain finance, along with infinite scalability and ultra-low latency buffs.
Currently, most Layer 1 solutions on the market are focused on performance at the software level, while Solayer is taking a shortcut by directly using hardware acceleration. This technological breakthrough is quite appealing to DeFi and institutional users—the primary concerns for institutions are transaction speed and stability, and InfiniSVM's million-level TPS and low latency hit the nail on the head. Imagine high-frequency trading and AI-driven on-chain strategies, which have stringent performance requirements, running smoothly on InfiniSVM.
Even more relatable is Solayer's Emerald card. This card is directly linked to the performance of InfiniSVM, providing a payment experience close to the smoothness of traditional finance, but it also comes with the Emerald rewards program. Users can earn on-chain rewards while spending with the card, and this “earn while you spend” model is quite appealing to the younger generation. User feedback indicates that many people are drawn to this feature—after all, who doesn't want to earn some rewards while making everyday purchases?
$LAYER, as the project token, is now being closely watched by many. Solayer's technical architecture indeed has differentiation, and given the inherent vibrancy of the Solana ecosystem, if it can continue to implement practical application scenarios (like making AI and high-frequency trading use cases a reality), its valuation space could further open up. However, for now, the market is more concerned about whether it can translate the advantages of hardware acceleration into real ecosystem growth, because no matter how good the technology is, it still needs users to make it work.
