In discussions about public chain performance, a common approach is 'software optimization.' For example, parallel execution, compressed storage, L2 scaling, etc., can indeed improve efficiency to some extent. However, the problem is that they ultimately encounter bottlenecks because no matter how efficient the algorithms are, they are still constrained by the limitations of the hardware itself.
The hardware-accelerated Layer1 proposed by Solayer takes a different approach. It introduces hardware optimization and network technologies (SDN, RDMA) into the underlying execution environment of the chain through InfiniSVM, resulting in an order of magnitude improvement in TPS and latency. It's like transitioning from CPU rendering to GPU rendering, where the difference becomes immediately apparent.
The benefit of this architecture is 'scalability.' The limit of traditional software optimization may be tens of thousands of TPS, while Solayer can continuously expand the boundary through hardware acceleration, reaching millions of TPS. More importantly, it maintains low latency characteristics, making on-chain transactions, AI processing, payments, and other scenarios truly usable.
In comparison, it can be said that software optimization is 'squeezing performance by racking one's brains,' while hardware acceleration is 'directly switching tracks for speedup.' This is precisely the unique technical value of Solayer.
