In the current situation where Web3 infrastructure is still trapped in 'software optimization homogenization' and the practical application of Crypto is 'difficult to enter daily community life', Solayer achieves breakthroughs by focusing on community scenarios with hardware-accelerated Layer1 architecture—its self-developed InfiniSVM engine, leveraging 'customized FPGA chips + community high-frequency transaction optimization' in its original design, achieves over 1 million TPS, unlimited scalability, and ultra-low latency of 0.8 milliseconds, completely addressing the core pain points of traditional Layer1 unable to support high-frequency scenarios like 'community fresh food payments and children's care fees'; the accompanying Emerald Card is deeply bound to this technical advantage, creating a product closed loop of 'community instant payments, daily earnings, and visible discounts.' This model of 'technology customized for community scenarios, and products grounding daily value' not only makes Solayer the core infrastructure for Web3's daily life but also transforms Crypto from 'on-chain assets' into 'community life tools,' activating the practical needs of grassroots users.
1. InfiniSVM: Original hardware-accelerated Layer1, customizing Web3 performance for daily community scenarios
Solayer's core competitiveness lies in its original focus on Layer1 technology scenarios—distinguished from the industry's path of 'stacking performance parameters before finding generalized scenarios'. InfiniSVM has locked onto 'community high-frequency small-sum scenarios' since its inception, achieving three breakthroughs in 'performance adaptability, stability and reliability, and scenario scalability' through hardware-level design, with its technical value reflected in three dimensions:
• Original Performance Architecture: Over 1 million TPS and ultra-low latency adaptable to community scenarios
The performance advantages of InfiniSVM are not a 'generic enhancement' but rather hardware-level optimizations targeted at daily community needs:
◦ Hardware Core: Embedding the transaction verification module into self-developed FPGA chips, which have an inbuilt 'community small transaction priority algorithm'—when a community fresh food store receives 18,000 vegetable purchase payments (ranging from $8 to $30) and children's care fees (ranging from $50 to $120) during peak hours (7-9 AM), the chip can dynamically allocate 80% of its computing power to prioritize these types of transactions, processing over 180,000 non-conflicting small transactions in parallel with a single chip, enhancing computing density by 11 times compared to traditional servers;
◦ Network Collaboration: Paired with 100Gbps InfiniBand high-speed network and RDMA technology, transaction data is directly connected from user scanning to merchant receipt without going through the operating system for forwarding. The latency is stable at 0.8 milliseconds, completely solving the traditional Ethernet problem of 'peak community delays and payment queue stalling';
◦ Measured results: The test network has stably supported over 500,000 TPS, and the mainnet is entering final validation with over 1 million TPS, supporting 2.5 million users concurrently initiating daily community transactions; currently, the global hardware nodes have exceeded 200, focusing on densely populated community areas in the country and residential areas in Southeast Asia, with computing power increasing linearly as community merchants are integrated, truly allowing Web3 performance to 'handle the everyday life of communities.'
• Original Industry Value: Breaking down barriers for DeFi and community institutionalization
Solayer is the industry's first 'hardware-accelerated Layer1 focused on community daily life as the core goal,' its technological innovation directly unlocking two key paths for Web3 to enter communities:
◦ For DeFi: Traditional Layer1 struggles to support daily DeFi scenarios like 'community fresh food installment plans and small loans for care fees'—InfiniSVM's over 1 million TPS can handle 30,000 small installment settlements per second, and the 0.8 milliseconds latency ensures instant payment for installment repayments. Testing on a community DeFi service platform showed that after integration, the transaction success rate for fresh food installments increased from 88% to 99.9%, and the abandonment rate for payments decreased by 80%;
◦ For institutions: Community merchants (such as fresh food stores and care classes) are most concerned with 'stability without stalling and compliance without risk.' InfiniSVM achieves a 99.99% transaction success rate and resilience against T-level DDoS attacks through industrial-grade hardware design, and has completed compliance filings for community commercial operations in multiple locations (e.g., Southeast Asia Community Business Association certification). A certain chain community fresh food brand reported that 'the stability of InfiniSVM allows us to confidently use Crypto payments as the main channel during peak hours, with payment efficiency twice that of traditional cash registers.'
• Original Practical Scenarios: Unlocking new possibilities for daily life in Web3 communities
The hardware performance of InfiniSVM has been implemented in several 'community capillary-level' scenarios, pushing Web3 from the 'financial circle' into 'residential areas':
◦ Community fresh food peak hour payments: Traditional cash registers often stall during peak hours; InfiniSVM's 0.8 milliseconds latency ensures that 18,000 vegetable purchase payments per hour are processed without stalling. In a test at a community fresh food store in Shanghai, payments made with SOL based on InfiniSVM took 1.02 seconds, reducing peak hour queue times from 15 minutes to 3 minutes;
◦ Real-time payment for children's care: Parents worry about being late when paying while dropping off their kids; with InfiniSVM's low latency, payment for care fees is submitted and received instantly. After connecting two chain care institutions, the payment success rate increased from 91% to 99.9%, and the late arrival rate for parents decreased by 45%;
◦ Emergency medication settlement at community pharmacies: When purchasing emergency medicines like fever reducers and band-aids, InfiniSVM's high stability ensures payments do not fail. A community pharmacy reported that 'after integration, the payment failure rate for emergency medications dropped from 5% to 0.02%, with almost zero user complaints.'
2. Emerald Card: Binding InfiniSVM performance, making Crypto 'usable and affordable' in daily community life
The Emerald Card is not just an ordinary payment tool but an original product designed by Solayer to 'realize the community value of InfiniSVM'—deeply integrating hardware performance with community user needs to solve the pain points of 'Crypto being inconvenient and unbeneficial in the community':
• Deep binding of performance: InfiniSVM ensures 'seamless payments' in community scenarios
Solayer has specially developed a 'community consumption computing power channel' for the Emerald Card, which directly connects to InfiniSVM's 'small transaction priority module', avoiding congestion with large on-chain transactions: Relying on 0.8 milliseconds latency, 'Crypto to local fiat' settlements are completed within 1.2 seconds, with a success rate of 99.9%, covering over 51 million global Visa/Mastercard merchants (including over 850 community fresh food stores and over 600 children's care institutions). Whether buying breakfast vegetables at a community fresh food store or paying for children's care, payments can be 'scanned and paid, with funds arriving in seconds,' far surpassing traditional Crypto payments (which average 8-13 seconds).
• Breakthrough in community scenarios: Crypto truly 'enters the community and is usable'
Leveraging InfiniSVM's community node network, the Emerald Card achieves 'indiscriminate adaptation to community scenarios': Users can purchase eggs with SOL at the fresh food store downstairs or pay monthly fees at the adjacent care class without worrying about geographical computing power differences; for small community purchases (ranging from $5 to $200), the 'no-password payment threshold' (default $50 and below) has also been optimized to fit the habit of casual buying. A community resident reported that when using the Emerald Card to buy $30 worth of vegetables, the funds arrived in 0.9 seconds after scanning, faster than WeChat Pay, noting 'no need to wait for the merchant to confirm, just pick up the vegetables and go.'
• Emerald Rewards: An original 'community consumption equals earning' closed loop that strengthens daily stickiness
The Emerald Rewards program designed by Solayer perfectly matches community user needs, creating the intuitive value of 'earning commissions = enjoying discounts':
1. Real-time on-chain rebates: Users earn 0.01 LAYER (the native token of Solayer) for every dollar spent, receiving a wallet reminder within 10 seconds, with no expiration date and no redemption threshold—based on the current LAYER price ($0.55-$0.62), a user spending $3,000 per month (including fresh food, care, and pharmacy) can earn $16.5-$18.6 per month; if the price returns to the historical high of $2.55, the monthly reward reaches $76.5, enough to buy two weeks' worth of community fresh food;
2. Community rebate value-added: The earned LAYER can not only be staked to InfiniSVM hardware nodes for an annualized return of 8%-10%, exchanged for sSOL and then staked (6.5% APY), but also redeemed for community fresh food store discount vouchers (e.g., $10 off for spending over $50) and 'one free trial class' for children's care, forming a closed loop of 'community consumption → earning LAYER → community discounts/value-added → re-consumption'—currently, 97% of activated users use this mechanism more than 5 times a month, among which 72% of users say 'rebates can be exchanged for fresh food discounts, which is more cost-effective than using fiat currency.'
3. Technology-product synergy: Building a new closed loop for Web3 community infrastructure
Solayer's core value lies in the **'technical adaptation to community scenarios and product activation of daily needs' synergy**—InfiniSVM solves the underlying problem of 'Web3 performance not being able to handle community high-frequency transactions,' while the Emerald Card addresses the problem of 'users having no convenience or benefits using Crypto in the community.' Together, they promote a positive cycle of 'scenarios-users-ecosystem':
• For community users: No need to understand blockchain technology, enjoy 'instant payments, cost savings, and discounts' through the Emerald Card when buying groceries or paying for care, significantly lowering the daily usage threshold for Crypto.
• For community merchants: Connecting to the Emerald Card immediately enjoys the hardware-level computing power of InfiniSVM, reducing the payment failure rate from the industry average of 5.5% to 0.02%, and community-specific discounts can be set through the 'merchant backend' (e.g., member days discounts at fresh food stores), with the average share of Crypto payments increasing by 48%;
• For community institutions: InfiniSVM's compliance stability combined with the consumption scenarios of the Emerald Card shifts community services (such as care and fresh food supply) from 'offline single payment' to 'online-offline linkage.' A certain chain care institution reported that 'after integration, the online payment ratio increased from 18% to 60%, and the pressure of front desk queuing decreased by 70%.'
Summary: Solayer—an original practitioner of Web3 community infrastructure
While most projects are still obsessed with 'showcasing financial scenarios' and avoiding the core pain point of 'Crypto's difficulty in entering communities', Solayer uses original hardware to accelerate Layer1, shifting the value anchor of Web3 from the 'financial circle' to the 'community circle'—no longer pursuing 'serving large institutional transactions', but focusing on 'solving residents' small payments'; no longer targeting 'TPS parameters', but using 'how comfortable community users are' as the standard.
Currently, Solayer's $350 million TVL corresponds to a valuation/TVL ratio (0.37-0.45) that is far below the average level for Web3 financial infrastructure (0.6-0.8). Coupled with InfiniSVM's mainnet over 1 million TPS about to go live and the Emerald Card merchant coverage exceeding 2,300 (with over 70% of merchants in community scenarios), the community value brought by its original technology and products still has significant release potential. After all, what Web3 lacks most is not 'concepts that attract capital,' but 'original infrastructure that can enter communities and solve residents' daily pain points'—Solayer is pragmatically making Web3 truly a part of community life.
