Solayer's core chain architecture blends innovation with proven SVM principles, creating a foundation for infinite scalability.
The execution model uses Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), hardware-accelerated via GPUs for parallel processing. Transactions execute speculatively before sequencing, reducing bottlenecks.
Consensus is hybrid: Proof-of-Authority (PoA) for leader selection among trusted verifiers, combined with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) where staked $LAYER weights votes. This achieves fast finality while maintaining decentralization.
Data flow starts with users submitting txs to RPC nodes, which forward to sequencers. Sequencers batch and propose blocks, verified by the cluster network connected via RDMA for sub-ms propagation.
Execution happens in parallel across clusters: each handles a shard of state, syncing via gossip. This multi-execution setup scales with hardware, unlike monolithic chains.
Why this matters: traditional consensus like PoW wastes energy, PoS alone can be slow. Solayer's hybrid cuts energy by 50x per tx, per benchmarks.
$LAYER plays a central role: staked for PoS, used in PoA rotations. Verifiers must hold minimum LAYER to participate, ensuring skin in the game.
@Solayer designed this for Solana compatibility: dApps port seamlessly, inheriting SVM's efficiency.
State transitions are atomic, with rollbacks only on invalid proofs. Data availability relies on erasure coding, distributing shards across nodes.
In practice, this architecture supports 1M TPS, as devnet shows, by offloading compute to hardware.
Upgrades integrate via on-chain proposals, forking softly.
Compared to Ethereum's sharding, Solayer's is hardware-native, avoiding complexity.
$LAYER es fund verifiers, accruing value as activity grows.
This core empowers diverse apps, from DeFi to AI, with reliable execution. #BuiltonSolayer thrives on such robust foundations.
