Solayer: Scaling Solana with Performance-Driven Restaking

Scalability has always been the toughest challenge for blockchains. As usage grows, most chains eventually hit limits on throughput, latency, and cost. Solayer, a restaking protocol built natively on Solana, is approaching the problem differently. Instead of a modular design that splits functions across multiple layers, it introduces a vertically integrated performance layer powered by hardware acceleration.

At the core of Solayer is InfiniSVM, a re-engineered Solana Virtual Machine. It combines multi-execution clusters, RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), and InfiniBand networking to achieve ultra-low latency and throughput of over 1 million transactions per second. The goal is to make blockchain infrastructure fast enough to handle real-world finance, not just experimental dApps.$LAYER
