Solayer: Original hardware accelerates Layer1 navigation, InfiniSVM and Emerald Card reconstruct the new practical ecology of Crypto

While Web3 infrastructure is mired in 'software optimization homogenization', Solayer has torn open a breakthrough with original hardware accelerating Layer1 architecture—its self-developed InfiniSVM engine, through 'custom FPGA chips + high-speed interconnect networks', achieves over 1 million TPS, infinite scalability, and 0.8 milliseconds ultra-low latency, completely breaking the performance ceiling of traditional Layer1; the accompanying Emerald Card is deeply tied to this technological advantage, creating an original product closed loop of 'global instant consumption + on-chain real-time earning commissions'. This model of 'technical originality driving practical implementation' not only positions Solayer as a benchmark for hardware-accelerated Layer1 but also propels Crypto from 'on-chain digital assets' to 'daily high-frequency tools', injecting new momentum into the industry's practical implementation.

1. InfiniSVM: Original hardware accelerates Layer1, reconstructing performance and scenario boundaries

Solayer's core competitiveness stems from its originality in overturning the Layer1 technical paradigm—distinct from the industry's short-term strategy of 'software sharding to improve performance', InfiniSVM achieves a threefold breakthrough in 'performance, stability, and scalability' through hardware-level design. Its technical value and implementation capabilities are reflected in three dimensions:

• Original performance architecture: Over 1 million TPS with hardware-level implementation and ultra-low latency

The performance advantage of InfiniSVM is not just 'parameter showmanship', but the original design logic of the underlying hardware:

• Hardware core: The transaction verification module is embedded in self-developed FPGA chips, with chip computing power density increased by 8 times compared to traditional servers. A single chip can process over 140,000 non-conflicting transactions in parallel, avoiding 'computing power waste' from generic hardware;

• Network coordination: Combined with 100Gbps InfiniBand high-speed networks and RDMA remote data transfer technology, transaction data does not need to be forwarded through the operating system, reducing transmission latency to microsecond levels, completely solving the traditional Ethernet 'congestion and stuttering' problem;

• Measured results: The testnet has stably supported over 500,000 TPS, and the mainnet with over 1 million TPS is entering its final countdown to launch, with transaction confirmation latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds, and supports 'dynamic node expansion'—as the number of global hardware nodes (already integrated with over 160) increases, computing power scales linearly, completely resolving the industry's pain point of 'slower speeds with expansion' in traditional Layer1.

• Original industry value: Rewriting the core rules for DeFi and institutional entry

Solayer is the industry's first project to achieve 'hardware-accelerated Layer1 mass production', directly resolving the core pain points for DeFi and institutional entry:

• For DeFi: Traditional Layer1 cannot support high-frequency options trading and real-time cross-chain clearing—InfiniSVM's over 1 million TPS can handle 20,000 option exercise instructions per second, with 0.8 milliseconds latency ensuring clearing prices sync with the market in real-time. Testing from a leading DeFi options protocol showed that after integration, slippage rates dropped from 0.8% to 0.015%, with average user exercise returns increasing by 22%;

• For institutions: Institutions are most concerned with 'compliance, stability, and efficiency' when entering the market. InfiniSVM achieves a 99.99% transaction success rate and resistance to T-level DDoS attacks through industrial-grade hardware design, and supports real-time compliance audits of on-chain data (meeting regulatory requirements from SEC, ESMA, FATF, etc. across multiple regions)—currently, four traditional financial institutions are using it as the 'underlying for on-chain trading of RWA assets', with feedback from a European asset management company stating, 'InfiniSVM's high concurrency and low latency allow us to safely manage $500 million worth of tokenized energy RWA assets, with transaction response speeds comparable to traditional energy exchanges.'

• Original practical scenarios: Unlocking new possibilities for high-frequency trading and AI + on-chain

InfiniSVM's hardware performance has already been implemented in multiple original scenarios, rather than remaining in the 'technical concept' stage:

• High-frequency quantitative trading: Cryptocurrency quantitative strategies often miss trading opportunities due to Layer1 delays. InfiniSVM's 0.8 milliseconds latency can enhance the execution speed of trading instructions by 18 times. A certain quantitative team developed an SOL/USDT arbitrage strategy based on InfiniSVM, achieving a monthly return rate 28% higher than traditional Layer1;

• AI + on-chain insurance risk control: On-chain insurance AI models (such as claim risk assessment, policy data verification) need to process multidimensional data in real-time. InfiniSVM's hardware computing power can offload 92% of data processing pressure. After integration by a certain Web3 insurance company, the response time for claim risk assessment decreased from 1000 milliseconds to 42 milliseconds, supporting concurrent verification of 3 million policy data;

• Institutional cross-border fund transfers: Traditional cross-border fund transfers require 1-3 business days. InfiniSVM's high-speed network and low latency can achieve 'real-time on-chain transfers'. In a test by a certain international bank, the cross-border transfer of AUD to sAUD based on InfiniSVM took only 1.0 seconds, with fees reduced by 82% compared to SWIFT.

2. Emerald Card: Binding InfiniSVM performance, original 'consumption + earning commission' practical closed loop

The Emerald Card is not an ordinary Crypto payment tool, but an original product carrier designed by Solayer to release the value of InfiniSVM technology—deeply integrating hardware performance with user needs to solve the industry pain points of 'difficult Crypto consumption and slow returns':

• Deep binding of performance: InfiniSVM ensures a 'seamless payment experience'

Solayer has developed a 'payment-specific computing cluster' exclusively for the Emerald Card. This cluster directly connects to InfiniSVM's hardware parallel processing module, allowing consumption instructions to bypass queuing for resources with other on-chain transactions: relying on InfiniSVM's 0.8 millisecond latency, 'Crypto → local fiat' settlement can be completed within 1.2 seconds, with a success rate of 99.9%, covering over 47 million Visa/Mastercard merchants worldwide. Whether buying camping gear at an outdoor store in Sydney or paying for a child's fencing class in Paris, users can achieve 'scan to pay, instant deposit', far exceeding traditional Crypto payment tools (average settlement time of 6-9 seconds).

• Global consumption breakthrough: Crypto truly 'usable, universal, and low-cost'

With the global node network of InfiniSVM (covering North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia), the Emerald Card achieves 'borderless payment': users can use SOL, sSOL, or sUSD for consumption in over 145 countries and regions, with cross-border payment exchange rate errors at <0.01%, and no traditional bank exchange fees of 1.5%-5%. A certain cross-border outdoor equipment importer reported that using the Emerald Card to pay a Norwegian supplier for camping tents ($35,000) saved $1,750 in wire transfer fees, with a settlement time of only 0.98 seconds.

• Emerald Rewards: Original 'earn while spending' closed loop, enhancing user retention

The Emerald Rewards program designed by Solayer is one of the industry's few original models of 'real-time on-chain rebates + asset appreciation':

1. Real-time on-chain rebates: Users can instantly receive 0.01 LAYER (Solayer's native token) for every $1 spent, with rebates pushed to wallets within 10 seconds, no expiration date, and no exchange thresholds—based on the current LAYER price ($0.55-$0.62), a user spending $2,600 per month can earn $14.3-$16.12 monthly; if it returns to the historical high of $2.55, monthly rewards could reach $66.3, covering the cost of a month's children's fencing class experience;

2. Appreciation of rebate assets: The obtained LAYER can be directly staked to InfiniSVM hardware nodes, enjoying an annualized return of 8%-10%; it can also be exchanged for sSOL to participate in re-staking (6.5% APY), forming an original closed loop of 'consumption → earn LAYER → stake appreciation → re-consume'—currently, 93% of activated users use this mechanism more than 5 times a month, with user retention rates 50% higher than the industry average.

3. Dual originality of technology and product: Building a practical ecological closed loop for Crypto

The core value of Solayer lies not in the innovation of a single technology or product, but in the synergistic resonance of original technology and original products—InfiniSVM addresses the underlying problem of 'insufficient on-chain performance', while the Emerald Card solves the implementation issue of 'not knowing how to utilize technological advantages'. Together, they build an ecological closed loop of 'perceived performance, tangible consumption, and circular revenue':

• For users: There is no need to understand hardware technical details; users can intuitively experience the 'instant payment, stability' advantages of InfiniSVM through the Emerald Card, while also achieving 'earn while spending' through the Rewards program, significantly lowering the practical threshold for Crypto;

• For merchants: Accessing the Emerald Card immediately benefits from the hardware-level computing support of InfiniSVM, reducing payment failure rates from the industry average of 4.5% to 0.06%, and allowing customizable discount and rebate activities through the 'merchant rights management backend', with the average share of Crypto payments increasing by 38%;

• For institutions: The compliance performance of InfiniSVM combined with the consumption scenarios of the Emerald Card allows institutions to shift their held RWA assets and stablecoins from 'on-chain sedimentation' to 'daily circulation', effectively integrating institutional funds into the practical ecosystem of Crypto.

Summary: The originality of Solayer defines a new future for Crypto infrastructure

While most projects are still obsessed with 'software optimization trends', Solayer breaks the industry's inertia with original hardware accelerating Layer1 architecture—InfiniSVM not only reconstructs the ceiling of on-chain performance but also redefines the technical paradigm of Layer1; the Emerald Card translates this technological advantage into tangible daily value for users, achieving a positive cycle of 'technology → product → ecology'. This originality not only makes Solayer an 'infrastructure entry point' for DeFi and institutional adoption but also drives Crypto from being an 'investment target' to a 'daily essential tool', providing a replicable new path for practical implementation in the industry.

Currently, Solayer's $350 million TVL corresponds to a market cap/TVL ratio (0.37-0.45) that is far lower than the average level for Web3 financial infrastructure (0.6-0.8). With InfiniSVM's mainnet set to launch with over 1 million TPS and the Emerald Card's merchant coverage exceeding 1,900, the value brought by its original technology and products still has enormous release potential—after all, what is most scarce in Web3 is not 'following functions', but 'original infrastructure that defines new rules and solves real pain points'.
