Second article: The core technology behind the Solayer project
In the first article, we got to know @Solayer as one of the most prominent Restaking protocols on the Solana network, and today we dive deeper into the technical side to understand how the project achieves this outstanding performance and why it is considered different from others.
1. The concept of Restaking on Solana
Typically, when a user stakes SOL tokens, they earn returns for participating in securing the network. What’s new with Solayer is that it allows the reuse of these assets (SOL or LSTs) through Restaking.
In other words: your assets do not remain stagnant in just one security process, but can be utilized in:
Enhancing network security
Running protocols or services built on Solana
Earn additional rewards
2. InfiniSVM – the beating heart of the technology
What sets Solayer apart is its reliance on InfiniSVM, a new virtual execution environment designed to handle vast amounts of transactions at unprecedented speed.
1 million transactions per second (1M+ TPS): an extremely high processing capacity compared to competing networks.
Near-instant response time: makes the user experience closer to traditional applications.
Almost limitless scalability: by combining Solana's architecture with InfiniSVM's speed.
3. Comparison with other networks
On Ethereum, protocols like EigenLayer offer the idea of Restaking but with certain limitations and high gas costs.
As for Solayer, it offers this directly on Solana, where fees are low and performance is ultra-fast.
This point makes Solayer a strong competitor not only within Solana but in the entire Web3 ecosystem.
4. Why is technology important for the future?
Developers: They now have an environment capable of hosting massive applications (DeFi, games, data) without the fear of slowdowns.
Users: They enjoy faster transactions and a smoother experience.
Investors: They see a project built on a solid technical foundation, increasing its chances of sustainability.
Conclusion
The technical architecture of Solayer is not just a small improvement on Solana, but a qualitative leap through InfiniSVM and the Restaking mechanism. These foundations make the project more than just a protocol; it is a platform that can change the rules of the game in Web3.
