If we talk about which cryptocurrency has performed the most impressively during this round of bull and bear market cycles, SOL is definitely a presence that cannot be ignored. From the bear market low of $8, it surged all the way to a high of $298, with a price increase nearing 40 times, firmly holding a spot in the top five of the cryptocurrency market capitalization rankings. Behind this explosive rise are various protective moats—whether it's the meme coin craze that we are familiar with or the layer two network ecosystem, many have rooted themselves in SOL, among which $LAYER is worth mentioning.
From a technical perspective, Solayer has developed a parallel virtual machine framework called InfiniSVM. This architecture uses hardware-level acceleration solutions, allowing blockchain computing tasks to be offloaded to programmable chips (such as FPGA, SmartNIC). This technology has directly pushed performance to the ceiling: transaction processing capability exceeds 1 million TPS, bandwidth reaches 100Gbps, and inter-node communication latency has been compressed to the microsecond level.
In terms of staking, Solayer's approach is also substantial: users can stake their already staked SOL into various Dapps. This is similar to Ethereum's EigenLayer model, where users holding sSOL (the certificate for staked SOL) can participate in network validation and earn additional income.
Its token $LAYER has a total supply of 10 billion, serving as both a governance certificate and an ecological incentive tool—holders can participate in protocol decision-making, earn staking rewards, and potentially receive airdrops. The project is led by Jason Li and Rachel Chu and has already secured investments from top institutions such as Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, and Hack VC, with total financing exceeding $12 million. As for the total locked value (TVL) performance, it is also quite impressive.
