In recent years, blockchain has faced an unavoidable issue: performance bottlenecks. Whether it's a public chain or a layer two network, when user numbers and transaction volumes explode, delays and high gas fees become obstacles. Solayer has chosen a different path—hardware acceleration.
Traditional blockchains primarily rely on general-purpose CPUs to perform computations, while Solayer introduces customized hardware into the underlying architecture, allowing specialized hardware to handle cryptographic calculations, parallel computing, zero-knowledge proof verification, and other processes. This means that certain processes that would normally consume a significant amount of computational resources can be completed in a fraction of the time.
This transformation is not just a simple speed enhancement; it represents a brand new scalability model. In the future, Solayer's blockchain system will no longer be limited by software performance bottlenecks but will continuously optimize the underlying hardware like chip iterations, thereby allowing performance to enhance alongside hardware evolution.
While other projects are still struggling with sharding, rollups, and state compression to tinker with software, Solayer has chosen to fundamentally change the rules from the ground up. This approach will give it an advantage when large-scale applications are implemented, especially in scenarios requiring high-performance computing, such as decentralized AI, on-chain gaming, and real-time finance.
