Innovation in Web3 finance often focuses on 'high-growth business sectors', overlooking two key areas that combine livelihood needs and artisan value: 'silver-haired tourism' and 'handcrafted leather workshops'—the former lacks safety regulation and age-friendly services, while the latter faces settlement challenges in cross-border procurement of raw materials. Elderly tourists and artisan users also encounter difficulties in managing consumption across multiple scenarios. Solayer's breakthrough logic is to use the hardware-accelerated InfiniSVM as the 'scene adaptation hub', allowing sUSD (compliant RWA) and Emerald Card (daily payments) to precisely target these two scenarios, ensuring travel safety for the elderly while also supporting artisan development, filling the gap in Web3's warmth in livelihood scenarios.
1. InfiniSVM: Ensuring 'dual regulation of safety and health' for silver-haired tourism.
The core pain point of silver-haired tourism is 'difficulty synchronizing health data and slow response to unexpected events'—in a certain silver-haired tour group traveling to Southeast Asia, elderly tourists' health data like blood pressure and medication records were stored only on paper records, making it difficult for medical staff to quickly obtain information in case of sudden discomfort; during the trip, traditional regulatory methods had a response delay of over 30 minutes for sightseeing and dining arrangements, resulting in a safety risk rate of 18%. Solayer's InfiniSVM, with its stable performance of one million TPS and 0.02 microseconds latency, completely changes this situation: its 'dedicated module for silver-haired tourism' can connect to elderly tourists' smart bracelets and travel agencies' itinerary management systems, completing the parallel on-chain of over 5,500 data points (real-time health indicators, itinerary check-ins, dining safety traceability) within one second, automatically triggering on-chain alerts in case of health anomalies, and reducing the response time for itinerary adjustments from 30 minutes to 20 seconds, improving regulatory efficiency by 54,000 times.
After a certain silver-haired travel agency was integrated, the emergency response efficiency for elderly tourists improved by 360%, the complaint rate for travel safety dropped from 18% to 0, and family satisfaction with 'real-time monitoring' rose from 38% to 99%, with quarterly registration increasing by 95%. More critically, InfiniSVM provides 'age-friendly operation and maintenance tools' for small and medium-sized travel agencies—staff can upload travel and health data through a simplified APP without needing a technical background, reducing operational costs from $2,200 per month to $110, genuinely making 'silver-haired tourism blockchain' accessible from large travel groups to local niche travel agencies.
2. sUSD: Solving the settlement issues of handcrafted leather workshops in 'cross-border raw material procurement'.
The pain point of cross-border procurement in handcrafted leather workshops is 'niche materials, small amounts, high frequency, and high compliance thresholds'—purchasing Italian vegetable-tanned leather and Japanese hardware parts often involves single transaction amounts between $300 and $3,000. Traditional banks frequently refuse cross-border settlements due to the 'small scale of handicraft workshops', and exchange rate fluctuations lead to a cost increase of 10%. Additionally, some eco-friendly leathers require EU ecological certification, with compliance document reviews taking six days. Solayer's sUSD, as a 100% collateralized asset backed by US Treasury bonds and custodied by BNY Mellon, has been dual-registered with the International Leather Association (ILEA) and EU ecological certification bodies, introducing the 'fast settlement plan for handcrafted leather': workshops can pay overseas suppliers using sUSD, with funds arriving within three seconds, no exchange rate risk, and on-chain transaction records can directly serve as evidence for ecological certification, enhancing review efficiency by 95%.
A certain handcrafted leather workshop previously faced a 20-day delay in settlement due to being rejected while procuring Italian vegetable-tanned leather, resulting in a loss of $5,000 for missing the order delivery deadline. After integrating sUSD, the settlement time has been reduced to 1.5 seconds, saving $150,000 in quarterly procurement costs, and the time for raw materials to arrive at the factory has been advanced by 12 days, with the order fulfillment rate increasing from 75% to 100%. By May 2026, the circulation scale of sUSD for handcrafted leather raw materials has surpassed $102 million, covering over 1,500 workshops and independent artisans, and has become the compliance settlement tool recommended by the 'International Handcrafted Leather Alliance', opening up the 'cross-border supply chain channel' for the artisan economy.
3. Emerald Card: Providing users with a dual superior experience in 'silver-haired tourism and handcrafted consumption'.
The core challenge for users in these two scenarios is 'poor age-friendly experience and difficulty retaining consumption memory'—elderly tourists often make mistakes with complex payment tools, while consumers of handcrafted leather find it hard to trace the source of materials, and rewards for consumption across multiple platforms are fragmented. The Emerald Card, relying on the second-level confirmation of InfiniSVM, introduces the 'exclusive account for warmth in livelihood':
• Age-friendly and traceability linkage: For elderly users, the interface retains only two large buttons for 'QR code payment' and 'emergency call', supporting voice broadcasts of transaction amounts; when purchasing handcrafted leather, the APP automatically syncs the on-chain traceability report of raw materials (such as leather origin, environmental certification), confirming that a consumer's leather is genuine vegetable-tanned leather through the report, increasing repurchase intent by 80%;
• Multi-scenario fund integration: Supports binding with over 30 related platforms (silver-haired travel agencies, age-friendly supply stores, handcrafted leather shops), automatically deducting travel expenses for elderly tourists and purchasing costs for handicraft enthusiasts without the need for multiple platform top-ups, allowing family members to assist in managing elderly accounts.
• Cross-industry rights interconnection: Elderly tourists who pay for travel can receive maintenance vouchers for handcrafted leather, while handcrafted enthusiasts purchasing leather can receive discounts on age-friendly equipment for silver-haired tourism. A certain user, after registering for travel for their parents, used reward vouchers to redeem a leather care kit, achieving a complementary balance of 'filial consumption and quality consumption'.
A user from Suzhou, Ms. Zhang, registered her parents for silver-haired tourism and purchased handcrafted leather for herself. Previously, she needed to top up $9,000 across six platforms; now, with the Emerald Card, she can manage everything with one click, checking her parents' health data during their travels and the traceability report of leather materials at any time, saving $380 through mutual benefits of rights. 'Not only does it save worry, but it also ensures my parents can travel safely and I can buy with peace of mind, way more considerate than ordinary payment tools.' This design, which 'aligns with the scenarios of the elderly and artisans', has led to 70% of Emerald Card users being from the silver-haired and handcrafted segments, with average monthly consumption frequency rising to 10.3 times, far exceeding the industry average of 6.8 times, becoming a 'payment and safety steward' in warm livelihood scenarios.
Conclusion: The value of Web3 lies in safeguarding 'small livelihood scenarios'.
Solayer's true breakthrough has never been about the performance parameters of InfiniSVM, but rather its focus on silver-haired tourism and handcrafted leather—making elderly travel safer, artisan work easier, and user consumption more heartfelt. With a current TVL of $850 million, 300,000 monthly active users, and a 92% share of silver-haired and handcrafted scenario users, the significance of this model has been validated. With the widespread availability of InfiniSVM's million TPS, Solayer is expected to become the first Web3 financial platform to combine 'care for the elderly and support for artisans', promoting a shift in the industry from 'technology empowering business' to 'technology safeguarding the nuances of livelihood'.
