The blockchain industry is always introducing new things, and recently, Solayer (@Solayer ) has stood out in the Solana ecosystem. It is not just a project that follows trends; rather, it is a tool specifically designed for Solana, primarily helping users to repurpose their digital assets—such as 're-staking,' which simply means taking previously staked assets out to do something else and earn more returns. This approach allows users to extract more value from their assets, gradually making it a new force that cannot be ignored in the Solana community.
Recently, Binance's HODLer airdrop third round has made Solayer's token $LAYER known to more people.
This airdrop will distribute 6 million LAYER tokens. As long as users meet some simple conditions set by the platform (such as holding a certain amount of assets), they will be able to receive them. The event runs from 8:00 AM on July 20, 2025, to 7:59 AM on July 24, 2025 (all times GMT+8). Eligible users will receive their tokens within about 24 hours. Additionally, there are still 6 million $LAYER tokens to be airdropped, which continuously fuels the entire ecosystem, encouraging more people to participate.
The core goal of Solayer is to establish a more reliable 'foundation' for the Solana ecosystem. This foundation must meet several requirements: it should allow for layered scalability (simply put, it can handle more users and transactions), be more secure, and process transactions particularly quickly. Currently, in the blockchain space, everyone is competing to see whose underlying system (that is, Layer-1) is faster, and Solayer can already handle over 100,000 transactions per second, with the next target being a million transactions per second, aiming to become the 'fastest execution layer' in the Web3 era, fundamentally making it more user-friendly.
In terms of technical highlights, Solayer indeed has many innovative aspects that are easy to understand. For instance, it uses 'hardware acceleration (FPGA)' technology, akin to installing a dedicated acceleration chip in a computer, significantly speeding up underlying computations; it also employs 'pessimistic concurrency control,' which sounds complex but simply makes transaction queuing more reasonable, reducing conflicts when everyone rushes to process transactions, making the process smoother; moreover, the design of 'super sorter' and 'dynamic finality of sBridge' enables faster transaction confirmations, alleviating concerns about long wait times for results—these technologies combine to enhance its speed and stability compared to many other projects.
For users engaged in DeFi (decentralized finance), the benefits brought by Solayer are quite real. In the past, while trading, one might encounter unfair practices (for example, someone exploiting rules to trade ahead, known as 'malicious MEV'), but Solayer can prevent such situations, ensuring everyone starts from the same line; moreover, the 'slippage' (the difference between the actual transaction price and the expected price) has decreased, resulting in fewer failed transactions and a more worry-free operation.
It's also quite friendly for developers. Solayer is well compatible with Solana's system (SVM), allowing usage without significant code modifications; its performance is comparable to the apps we typically use (that is, the Web2 experience), and it won't lag; it can also collaborate across chains with other blockchains, making it easier for developers to create user-friendly applications without headaches over technical challenges.
$LAYER is not just the 'benefit' received during the airdrop; it is central to the entire Solayer ecosystem. On one hand, it is a token with actual value that can be used within the ecosystem; on the other hand, holding it may also allow participation in some ecosystem decisions (that is, governance). As Solayer's functions become more complete and the user base grows, the places where $LAYER can be used will increase, and its value will stabilize, growing alongside the entire ecosystem.
Overall, #BuiltonSolayer is essentially about using technological innovation to enhance the trading experience on Solana. When a system is fast, secure, and open, making it convenient for both users and developers, Solayer and $LAYER might truly lead the Solana ecosystem into a more vibrant and possibility-filled new phase. #BuiltonSolayerLAYER #BuiltonSolayer
