Solayer Series (6): Blockchain Performance of One Million TPS
Solana is known for its high throughput, and Solayer is pushing blockchain performance to new heights with its core technology, InfiniSVM, claiming to achieve one million transactions per second (TPS). What does this mean? Simply put, Solayer's performance is sufficient to support large-scale financial applications and even rival traditional payment systems like Visa. InfiniSVM greatly reduces transaction latency through hardware acceleration and a multi-executor model while maintaining decentralization. This allows Solayer to remain smooth even when handling complex DeFi transactions or high-frequency on-chain operations.
The key to this performance breakthrough is the innovative design of InfiniSVM. It utilizes RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and InfiniBand technology to optimize data transfer efficiency, ensuring transaction processing is close to zero latency. The multi-executor model allows for parallel processing of multiple transactions, significantly increasing throughput. Compared to traditional blockchains, Solayer's architecture resembles a supercomputer, specifically designed for high-performance financial scenarios.
For users, one million TPS not only means faster and cheaper transactions but also supports more complex on-chain applications. For example, real-time payments, high-frequency trading on decentralized exchanges, and even on-chain games can all become smoother due to Solayer's performance. More importantly, Solayer maintains compatibility with the Solana virtual machine, allowing developers to migrate applications without major code modifications.
However, the realization of one million TPS is still in the devnet phase, with current testing showing a performance of 340,000 transactions per second. The Solayer team is working on optimizing performance bottlenecks, aiming to push this number towards the million level. In the future, Solayer's ultra-high performance is expected to become a benchmark in the Solana ecosystem, opening new possibilities for decentralized finance and real-world applications. $LAYER
