@Solayer shifts nearly all key processing tasks — including scheduling, signature verification, and deduplication — onto dedicated hardware such as programmable network switches and SmartNICs. Its "megaleader" architecture uses pre-execution clusters that send transactions to programmable switches for ordering. When more complex tasks like re-execution are required, the workload moves to an FPGA-powered network interface card (NIC) via InfiniBand, enhancing throughput and reducing latency. This design aims to optimize performance by minimizing software delays and leveraging hardware acceleration at every stage.
