Solayer Series (24): On-Chain Settlement of the Emerald Card
The Emerald Card is Solayer's killer product, a Visa-compatible card that brings on-chain assets directly into the real world. Its on-chain settlement feature is the coolest; when you spend USDC, transactions are processed in real-time on the Solayer network without third-party custody. This means that every expenditure you make is secure, transparent, and you can earn Emerald points.
Why is on-chain settlement so revolutionary? Traditional crypto cards often rely on centralized bridging, which carries high risks and significant delays. The Emerald Card leverages InfiniSVM's hardware acceleration to achieve millisecond-level confirmations. When you swipe your card in a store, the Solana VM is working rapidly in the background to ensure funds are received instantly. With the integration of sUSD, you can also spend using yield stablecoins, earning while you spend.
The actual use cases are rich and diverse. For example, you can pay for daily expenses through Apple Pay or Google Pay while accumulating points to unlock $LAYER rewards. Solayer's endoAVS mechanism allows developers to build dedicated dApps for the card, such as real-time point redemption or personalized discounts. This is not just a card; it is a gateway to a decentralized financial life.
In the long run, the Emerald Card will drive the globalization of the Solayer ecosystem. The convenience of on-chain settlement will attract more users to join, subsequently increasing the value of the $LAYER token. It proves that blockchain is not just an investment tool; it can truly change everyday life.
