In the current situation where Web3 infrastructure is deeply trapped in 'software optimization involution' and practical implementation stagnation, Solayer tears open the industry's breakthrough point with disruptive hardware acceleration of Layer 1 architecture—its self-developed InfiniSVM engine, with its 'customized FPGA chips + high-speed interconnect networks' underlying original design, achieves over 1 million TPS, infinite scalability, and 0.8 milliseconds ultra-low latency, completely breaking through the core bottleneck of traditional Layer 1 'performance that does not meet daily needs'; the accompanying Emerald Card deeply binds this technical advantage, creating an innovative product closed loop for 'global instant consumption + real-time earning commissions on-chain'. This model of 'technology-driven practical implementation' not only makes Solayer a leader in Web3 practical infrastructure but also promotes Crypto from 'on-chain digital assets' to 'daily high-frequency tools', reshaping the value of the industry ecology.
1. InfiniSVM: Original hardware accelerating Layer 1, breaking the performance and scenario dilemmas of Web3
Solayer's core competitiveness lies in the original reconstruction of the Layer 1 technology paradigm—unlike 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, with its technical value and implementation capabilities reflected in three dimensions:
• Original performance architecture: Over 1 million TPS and ultra-low latency hardware breakthroughs
The performance advantage of InfiniSVM is not 'parameter packaging' but the original logic of the underlying hardware:
◦ Hardware core: Embedding the transaction verification module in self-developed FPGA chips, with a chip computing power density 8 times higher than traditional x86 servers, a single chip can process over 150,000 non-conflicting transactions in parallel, avoiding efficiency wastage caused by 'computing power redundancy' of generic hardware;
◦ Network collaboration: Paired with a 100Gbps InfiniBand high-speed network and RDMA remote data transfer technology, transaction data does not need to be forwarded through the operating system, reducing transmission latency to the microsecond level, completely solving traditional Ethernet issues of 'peak congestion and latency fluctuations';
◦ Measured results: The test network has stably supported over 500,000 TPS, with the mainnet achieving over 1 million TPS entering the final launch debugging phase, transaction confirmation delays as low as 0.8 milliseconds, and supporting 'dynamic node expansion'—currently, the number of global hardware nodes has exceeded 170, covering emerging markets such as South America and Africa, with computing power linearly increasing as nodes are added, completely solving the traditional Layer 1 industry pain point of 'expansion equating to reduced speed.'
• Original industry value: Rewriting the core rules for DeFi and institutional entry
Solayer is the industry's first project to 'mass-produce hardware-accelerated Layer 1' with innovation directly breaking the two core obstacles to Web3 practicality:
◦ For DeFi: Traditional Layer 1 is unable to support high-frequency insurance claims and real-time cross-border settlements—InfiniSVM's over 1 million TPS can handle 22,000 on-chain insurance claim instructions per second, with a 0.8 millisecond latency ensuring real-time synchronization of claim amounts and risk assessments. Tests by a Web3 insurance company showed that after integration, claim efficiency increased by 400%, and user wait times dropped from 5 minutes to 3 seconds;
◦ For institutions: Institutions focus most on 'compliance, stability, and efficiency'. InfiniSVM achieves a 99.99% transaction success rate and resistance to T-level DDoS attacks through industrial-grade hardware design, and has completed the Singapore MAS digital asset service filing, meeting regulatory requirements in multiple regions—currently, five traditional institutions are using it as a 'RWA asset on-chain carrier'. A Brazilian agricultural cooperative feedback stated that 'the high concurrency of InfiniSVM allows us to safely manage tokenized RWA assets for soybean cultivation worth $200 million, with transaction response speeds comparable to traditional agricultural product futures markets.'
• Original practical scenarios: Unlocking new possibilities for multi-faceted implementation of Web3
InfiniSVM's hardware performance has been implemented in multiple 'non-copycat' scenarios, driving Web3 from 'concept' to 'practical':
◦ High-frequency cross-border e-commerce settlement: Cross-border e-commerce often suffers from order timeouts due to Layer 1 delays. InfiniSVM's 0.8 millisecond latency can increase cross-border order settlement speed by 20 times. In tests conducted by a Southeast Asian cross-border e-commerce platform, the settlement time for SOL-sUSD based on InfiniSVM was only 1.1 seconds, and the order success rate increased from 85% to 99.9%;
◦ AI + on-chain agricultural risk control: On-chain agricultural AI models (such as crop growth monitoring and disaster risk warning) require real-time processing of field sensor data. InfiniSVM's hardware computing power can offload 93% of the data processing pressure. After integration with a certain agricultural technology project, the risk warning response time was reduced from 1200 milliseconds to 45 milliseconds, supporting concurrent analysis of data from 5 million acres of farmland;
◦ High-frequency fund transfers for institutions: Traditional financial institutions' fund transfers take 4-8 hours; InfiniSVM achieves 'real-time on-chain transfers'. In tests conducted by a regional bank in South Africa, based on InfiniSVM, the transfer of Rand-sZAR took only 0.95 seconds, with fees reduced by 85% compared to local clearing systems.
2. Emerald Card: Binding InfiniSVM performance to create a practical closed loop of 'consumption + earning commissions'
The Emerald Card is not an ordinary Crypto payment tool, but an original product carrier designed by Solayer to release the technical value of InfiniSVM—deeply integrating hardware performance with user needs to solve the industry pain points of 'difficult Crypto consumption and slow earnings':
• Deep binding of performance: InfiniSVM ensures a 'seamless payment experience'
Solayer has specially developed a 'payment-specific computing cluster' for the Emerald Card, directly connecting to InfiniSVM's hardware parallel processing module. Consumption instructions do not need to compete for resources with other transactions on-chain: relying on InfiniSVM's 0.8 millisecond latency, 'Crypto → local fiat currency' settlement can be completed within 1.2 seconds, with a success rate of 99.9%, covering over 48 million Visa/Mastercard merchants globally. Whether buying a mountain bike in Rio de Janeiro or paying ballet class fees for children in Johannesburg, 'scan to pay and receive funds in seconds' is achievable, far exceeding traditional Crypto payment tools (average settlement time of 7-10 seconds).
• Global consumption breakthrough: Crypto truly 'boundary-less, universal, and low-cost'
With the help of InfiniSVM's global node network (covering over 150 countries across six continents), the Emerald Card realizes 'cross-regional, non-discriminatory payments': Users in emerging markets such as Brazil, South Africa, and India can use SOL, sSOL, or sUSD for consumption, with a cross-border payment exchange rate error of <0.01%, and no traditional bank exchange fees of 1.5%-5.5%. A certain cross-border sports equipment importer reported that using the Emerald Card to pay for mountain bike goods from an Italian supplier ($38,000) saved $2,090 in bank wire transfer fees, with a settlement time of only 0.92 seconds.
• Emerald Rewards: Original 'earn while you spend' mechanism, enhancing user retention
The Emerald Rewards program designed by Solayer is one of the few 'real-time on-chain commissions + diverse value-added' original models in the industry:
1. Real-time on-chain commissions: Users can instantly receive 0.01 LAYER (Solayer's native token) for every $1 spent, with commissions pushed to their wallets within 10 seconds, with no expiration or exchange thresholds—based on the current LAYER price ($0.55-$0.62), a user spending $2,700 monthly could earn $14.85-16.74; if it returns to the historical high of $2.55, the monthly reward could reach $68.85, covering the full fee for a month of children's ballet classes;
2. Diverse value-added commissions: The LAYER earned can not only be staked to InfiniSVM hardware nodes for an annualized return of 8%-10%, or exchanged for sSOL and then staked (6.5% APY), but can also be exchanged for merchant discount vouchers (such as discounts on sports equipment or ballet institution discounts), forming a closed loop of 'consumption → earning LAYER → value-added/discount → re-consumption'—currently, 94% of activated users use the mechanism more than five times a month, with a user retention rate 52% higher than the industry average.
3. Technology-product dual drive: Building a new closed loop for Web3 practical ecology
Solayer's core value lies not in the innovation of a single technology or product, but in the synergistic resonance of original technology and products—InfiniSVM addresses the underlying issue of 'insufficient performance in Web3', while the Emerald Card solves the practical issue of 'not knowing how to utilize technical advantages', together constructing an ecological closed loop of 'perceptible performance, consumable practicality, and cyclical earnings':
• For users: No need to understand the technical details of hardware, users can intuitively experience the 'instant payment and stability' advantages of InfiniSVM through the Emerald Card, while the Rewards program enables 'earning while spending', significantly lowering the practical threshold for Crypto;
• For merchants: By integrating the Emerald Card, merchants can enjoy hardware-level computational support from InfiniSVM, reducing the payment failure rate from the industry average of 4.8% to 0.05%. They can also customize discounts and commission activities through the 'Merchant Rights Management Backend', with the proportion of Crypto payments increasing by an average of 40%;
• For institutions: The compliance performance of InfiniSVM combined with the consumption scenarios of the Emerald Card allows RWA assets (such as agriculture and energy) held by institutions, as well as stablecoins, to shift from 'on-chain accumulation' to 'daily circulation'. A certain agricultural cooperative reported that 'after integration, the circulation efficiency of RWA assets increased threefold, and the capital turnover cycle was shortened by 50%.'
Summary: Solayer—An original transformer of Web3 practical infrastructure
While most projects are still obsessed with 'software optimization copying' and avoiding the core pain points of practicality, Solayer breaks the industry's inertia with original hardware acceleration of the Layer 1 architecture—InfiniSVM not only reconstructs the performance ceiling of Web3 but also redefines the technical paradigm of Layer 1; the Emerald Card then transforms this technical advantage into everyday user-perceived value, promoting Crypto from an 'investment target' to an 'essential tool'.
The current market value/TVL ratio (0.37-0.45) corresponding to Solayer's 350 million TVL is far lower than the average level of Web3 financial infrastructure (0.6-0.8). Coupled with the upcoming launch of InfiniSVM Mainnet with over 1 million TPS and the Emerald Card merchant coverage exceeding 2000, the value brought by its original technology and products still has enormous release potential. After all, what Web3 lacks the most is not 'copycat features' but 'original infrastructure that directly addresses pain points and defines new rules'—Solayer is becoming the core engine of the practical ecology of Web3 with this transformative power.
