⚡ Solayer: Revolutionizing Solana with Liquid Restaking and 1M TPS Speed
Solayer Labs (@solayer_labs) is redefining Solana’s infrastructure through its pioneering restaking protocol, designed to tackle network congestion while unlocking unprecedented capital efficiency and yield opportunities. Built natively for Solana’s unique needs, Solayer avoids "copy-pasting" Ethereum models, instead innovating with vertically integrated solutions that merge security, scalability, and user rewards .
🔁 Core Innovation: Liquid Restaking
Solayer introduces liquid restaking—allowing users to stake SOL or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) like mSOL/jSOL while retaining liquidity. Unlike traditional staking, assets aren’t locked. Instead, users:
Earn base staking rewards (∼7.25% APY) + Jito MEV rewards.
- Receive sSOL (restaking receipt tokens), which can be delegated to Actively Validated Services (AVS) for extra yield from securing dApps, oracles, or bridges . Use sSOL across DeFi (e.g., lending, trading) for "one capital, multiple profits" .
💸 Dual-Token Ecosystem
- sSOL: Represents restaked SOL, enabling compounded yields and AVS delegation.
- sUSD: The first yield-bearing stablecoin on Solana, pegged to USD and backed by U.S. Treasury bills. It offers ∼4% APY passively, leveraging Solana’s Token-2022 standard for seamless yield accrual .
🚀 InfiniSVM: 1M TPS Hardware-Accelerated Engine
At Solayer’s core is InfiniSVM—a hardware-optimized execution layer using RDMA, InfiniBand, and software-defined networking. It achieves:
- 1,000,000+ TPS and near-zero latency.
- Horizontal scaling for high-throughput dApps (e.g., real-time trading, institutional DeFi) .
This addresses Solana’s congestion by allocating stake-weighted bandwidth (QoS): More stake = higher priority for transaction throughput .
🌐 Explosive Growth & Ecosystem Impact
Since its May 2025 mainnet launch, Solayer has:
- Surpassed $350M Total Value Locked (TVL), with $160M secured in record time post-launch .
- Partnered with protocols like SonicSVM and Bonk to expand AVS services .
- Integrated with Phantom, Orca, and Jito for MEV rewards, enhancing user reach .
🔮 The Road Ahead
Solayer’s roadmap focuses on:
- Exo-AVS expansions (supporting external networks like Wormhole).
- Emerald Card: A Visa-backed card to spend crypto anywhere .
- Scaling decentralized cloud infrastructure via validator synergy .
"We’re not just a restaking company—we solve Solana’s core infrastructure problems."
