Staking is about to be credited in these days, brothers, and the interest seems good, but I don’t have money to stake, really cried after missing a batch 😭

Solayer's roadmap is now very clear: on one hand, it is doing native restaking on Solana, reusing the security and yield of SOL/LST; on the other hand, it is launching hardware-accelerated SVM blockchain (InfiniSVM), pushing throughput and latency higher. The former thickens the security and capital efficiency of the Solana ecosystem, while the latter maximizes execution performance, with both lines complementing each other. In January 2025, the official introduced InfiniSVM, aiming to achieve millions of bandwidth and millions of TPS levels through programmable hardware, SDN, RDMA, etc.; at the same time, it retains Solana semantics (SVM compatibility), facilitating the migration or connection of existing toolchains and applications.

What does restaking actually solve? (Take a look)

Traditional staking can only provide a layer of security to the underlying network, with relatively simple yields and uses; restaking allows already staked SOL or LST to be delegated to a type of 'Active Validation Service' (AVS), such as oracles, cross-chain bridges, modular Rollups, etc., thus providing security for more upper-layer services without lifting the original staking, earning additional rewards, and keeping assets usable and circulating in DeFi. Recent educational materials and tutorials in the Solana ecosystem also emphasize that Solayer brings the 'EigenLayer model' to Solana, overlaying low costs and high throughput, reducing the entry and operational thresholds for AVS.

What is different about hardware-accelerated InfiniSVM

The idea of InfiniSVM is not to 'recreate a set of virtual machines', but to hardware accelerate and extend the SVM with multi-execution clusters: sinking key components into programmable chips/high-speed networks, using SDN, RDMA, and other technologies for network and memory path optimization. According to official and industry materials, the target level is 1,000,000+ TPS and 100Gbps+ network bandwidth, serving near real-time experience businesses (matching, streaming data, low-latency games/social, etc.). This creates a combination of 'upper-layer security + base performance' for restaking and high-performance execution.

Key points on coins and assets (not discussing price)

The native token LAYER has been registered on multiple data sites and trading platforms: public materials typically state a total supply of 1 billion, with an initial circulation of about 210-220 million (different platforms have slightly different statistics). In terms of use, the community and research papers generally mention: LAYER binds to network usage and participation, including providing incentives, governance, and staking participation for AVS/ecosystem; specific fees and allocation rules are subject to official documents and subsequent governance. The core point here is 'linked to actual network usage', rather than relying solely on inflation emissions.

Minimal steps for participants and developers

User side (looking to stack yields): Restake SOL or mainstream LST according to Solayer's guidance, choose supported AVS, and receive AVS rewards on schedule; during this period, assets can still be utilized in Solana DeFi (be mindful of each AVS's penalty/exit rules).

Developers/Project Teams (looking to share security/high performance): As AVS integrates restaking security, or evaluating deploying high-frequency business on SVM compatible InfiniSVM, leveraging its hardware acceleration path to obtain lower latency and higher throughput.

Risks and metrics you should track (this is important to note!)

Restaking is a good tool for 'bringing more security and economic incentives to upper-layer services', but it fundamentally depends on the quantity and quality of AVS, the TVL of restaking and its decentralization, and the clarity of penalties (slashing) and exit rules; regarding InfiniSVM, it is recommended to pay attention to the difficulty of developer migration (SVM compatibility), the actual usable throughput and latency, node/hardware costs, and degree of decentralization. These indicators are continuously updated on official sites, press releases, and exchange academy articles, and can serve as a daily tracking checklist.

(For those in a hurry): Solayer combines 'native Solana restaking' and 'hardware-accelerated SVM chain' into the same product line: the former improves capital efficiency and upper-layer service security, while the latter provides a high throughput and low latency execution base; LAYER serves as a lever for network participation and incentives, getting as close to real usage scenarios as possible. Next, focus on two points: AVS access and TVL trends, as well as the actual performance of InfiniSVM and developer adoption. If both of these curves rise simultaneously, Solayer's 'combined punch' will be considered solid.
