Solayer: The Re-staking Infrastructure Reshaping the Solana Ecosystem, Why $LAYER Becomes the Core Narrative of 2025?
@Solayer , as a rising star in the Solana ecosystem's re-staking protocol, has recently completed financing led by Binance Labs with a valuation of $350 million, redefining the boundaries of security and scalability for high-performance public chains. This article will delve into its technological breakthroughs, ecological value, and participation pathways.
🔥 Core Innovation: From "Endogenous AVS" to Million-Level TPS
Solayer proposes "Endogenous AVS" (Actively Validated Services), differentiating itself from Ethereum's EigenLayer's "Exogenous AVS". This design directly serves Solana's native programs (such as DEX, NFT markets), allocating exclusive block space and transaction priority for dApps through a staking economic model, effectively alleviating network congestion issues.
What’s even more noteworthy is its hardware acceleration solution:
RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and InfiniBand network: Achieving end-to-end latency of less than 1 microsecond, with single-port bandwidth reaching 100Gbps;
Sharded database architecture: Breaking through the account size limit of Solana, combined with parallel scheduling algorithms to optimize transaction conflicts.
This enables Solayer's theoretical throughput to exceed 1 million TPS, making it the first re-staking protocol in the Solana ecosystem targeting million-level performance.
💰 Token Economics and Early Benefits
The total supply of $LAYER is 1 billion tokens, with an initial circulation of 22% (220 million tokens), and the core allocation is as follows:
Community and ecological incentives account for 51.23%: Far higher than the industry average (for example, EigenLayer is 45%);
Staking yield model: Depositing SOL can earn an 8.12% base annualized return + point rewards, early users (Epoch 1 phase) can also gain permanent invitation codes and airdrop weight bonuses.
It should be noted: In January 2026, there will be a 12.74% token unlock for the team and investors, requiring dynamic assessment of market pressure risks.
🚀 How to Participate in Solayer's Ecological Development?
Staking Entry: Deposit SOL, mSOL, or JitoSOL through wallets like Phantom, and deposits of over 10 SOL can generate invitation links to expand the points pool;
Developer Integration: Solayer provides CLI toolchain and smart contract interfaces, supporting dApps to call its AVS services to enhance throughput;
Governance Role: In the future, $LAYER holders can participate in the governance of the validator network, sharing MEV profits and protocol fee distributions.
