@Solayer moves virtually every critical processing step — from scheduling and signature verification to deduplication — onto specialized hardware like programmable network switches and SmartNICs. Its "megaleader" design employs pre-execution clusters that forward transactions onto programmable switches for ordering up. Once more sophisticated operations, like re-execution, are needed, the process migrates to an FPGA-based network interface card (NIC) via InfiniBand, providing greater throughput and decreased latency. This architecture is focused on maximizing performance through software bottlenecks minimized and hardware acceleration harnessed at every level.
