In the crypto industry, the performance and scalability of blockchain have always been key issues in technological advancement. With the continuous development of applications such as DeFi, NFTs, and Web3, the processing capacity of blockchain networks has become a critical bottleneck. Solayer is an emerging project based on the Solana ecosystem, attempting to solve these issues and challenge the limits of existing blockchain architectures through hardware acceleration and innovative technology.
The Rise of Solayer: From Re-Staking Protocol to Hardware Acceleration
Solayer aims to achieve millions of TPS and one transaction confirmation time through hardware technologies (such as Infiniband RDMA) and dynamic network architecture, addressing the latency and bandwidth issues that may arise under high loads in Solana.
Technological Innovation: Hardware Acceleration and Infinite Scalability Blockchain Architecture
One of Solayer's core innovations is the adoption of Infini-second frequency RDMA technology, which allows communication between nodes in the network to be completed at a micro-level, reducing latency while decreasing CPU load. The application of this technology enables Solayer to support a higher transaction throughput and address the common bandwidth limitation issues faced by the Solana network under high loads.
Additionally, Solayer has created an infinitely scalable multi-load cloud architecture by introducing SDN (Software Defined Networking) and dynamic sharding technology. This architecture can flexibly scale according to network demands, solving bandwidth constraints while maintaining the efficiency and stability of the blockchain.
Ecological Positioning: Solana's 'Inherent AVS' Service Provider
Solayer is not just a technological innovation; it also focuses on providing optimized block space and transaction priority services for DApps (decentralized applications) within the Solana ecosystem. Solayer's goal is to help DApps choose the appropriate block space based on demand through an intelligent 'fast lane' and 'slow lane' model, thereby enhancing user experience. This service is referred to as inherent AVS, similar to a 'coordinator' on the highway, providing DApps with flexible and low-latency transaction channels.
Solayer's revenue sources are also quite promising, including Stake rewards from the Solana network, **MEV (Maximizable Extractable Value)** relaying, and token airdrops.
Gold Economy and Market Performance
The total supply of Solayer's original token LAYER is currently 1 billion, with 30 million tokens sold to the community at a price of approximately $0.35. The project has performed well in fundraising, successfully raising $10.5 million through community issuance and partner support, with a projected market value of approximately $350 million after launch.
In addition, Solayer plans to launch an airdrop event and collaborate with Binance to introduce financial products and leverage offerings to further enhance liquidity. Notably, Solayer initially postponed the community launch due to the number of registered users exceeding 15 times, demonstrating extremely high market enthusiasm.
Future Outlook: Becoming the Core Infrastructure of the Solana Ecosystem
Solayer's long-term vision is to become the foundational infrastructure for drivers in the Solana ecosystem. In addition to current technological innovations, Solayer also plans to further enhance blockchain performance through breakthroughs in InfiniSVM blockchain technology. Meanwhile, Solayer is actively promoting a partnership with Visa to launch the Solayer Emerald Metal Card (crypto debit card), thereby bridging payment scenarios between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies.
Through these initiatives, Solayer has the opportunity to become a leading protocol in the Solana ecosystem that combines performance and practicality, driving the development of the Solana network and even transforming the blockchain user experience.
Financing and Team Background
The seed round financing of Solayer has received support from well-known investors such as Polychain Capital and Binance Labs, with a financing amount reaching $12 million and a post-investment valuation of $80 million. On the project team side, founder Rachel Chu was a former core developer of Sushiswap, while Jason Li supported the founding organization of MPCVault. In addition, Solayer's technical team also includes outstanding members from Berkeley and has acquired the smart contract security company Fuzzland to provide technical security.
