Speaking of Solayer, this project truly takes an unconventional route. While others are slowly building protocols through staking, it comes in swinging with L2 + hardware acceleration + re-staking all at once, aiming to upgrade Solana into a performance monster.
Its flagship weapon is called InfiniSVM, which you can think of as giving Solana a 'super overclocking tool', targeting millions of TPS and bandwidth soaring above 100Gbps+. This is not just talk; it's specifically tailored for heavy applications like AI and DeFi.
The gameplay is even more interesting: the SOL staked by users is not locked on-chain but minted into sSOL, allowing users to continue earning staking rewards while also being utilized to protect oracles and cross-chain bridges in various AVS applications. Coupled with the sUSD stablecoin, the capital efficiency is doubled.
The LAYER token is the 'engine key' of the entire ecosystem, governing and incentivizing all at once. The most impressive part is that it has already attracted the first wave of users through the Binance HODLer Airdrop, generating significant buzz right from the start.
Solayer is like turbocharging Solana, while also converting idle SOL into liquidity, allowing the ecosystem to run both fast and stable.
