๐ฅ Solayer: Beyond Yield, Into Security-as-a-Service on Solana ๐โก
Most see @Solayer as โextra APYโ for stakers. But the bigger story? A new layer of security for the Solana ecosystem.
๐ Solana Before:
L1 = Consensus + Security
L2 = Apps directly on top
Infra projects (L2s, bridges, oracles) = forced to bootstrap their own validators
๐ก Solayerโs Innovation = Layer 1.5
By restaking SOL + LSTs, Solayer creates a shared security pool that AVSs (Actively Validated Services) can โrentโ โ turning billions in staked SOL into on-demand Security-as-a-Service.
๐ Why It Matters:
๐น Faster infra innovation โ L2s, sequencers, AI networks can launch without spinning up validators
๐น New SOL value capture โ SOL becomes the equity of a federated network, not just gas
๐น InfiniSVM future โ Hardware-accelerated SVM โ security + high-performance computing as a service
โ ๏ธ Challenges Ahead:
Shared risk โ One AVS exploit could ripple through
Complexity โ More layers = bigger attack surfaces
Long-term horizon โ Adoption needs time, delivery must match the vision
๐ Big Question:
Will Security-as-a-Service become one of the core narratives of the next bull run โ or are we underestimating the risks beneath?
