Solayer is considered the most promising Layer1 on Solana primarily because it has made revolutionary upgrades based on the Solana ecosystem, launching InfiniSVM, a hardware-accelerated blockchain execution layer. In simple terms, it’s like installing a 'super engine' on Solana, boosting transaction speed and processing capacity to new heights.
Ultra-high performance: InfiniSVM achieves up to 1 million transactions per second (TPS) through hardware acceleration (such as RDMA and InfiniBand technologies), with extremely low latency, comparable to traditional financial systems. This means Solayer can handle massive transactions, suitable for high-frequency scenarios like finance, AI, and gaming. In contrast, ordinary blockchains might only have a few thousand TPS; Solayer directly elevates performance to 'supercar levels'.
Vertically Integrated Ecosystem: Solayer is not just a blockchain technology; it has built a complete financial ecosystem. Including sSOL (staking tokens for earning), sUSD (stablecoin, backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, ensuring 4-5% annualized returns), and the Emerald Card (for direct on-chain spending). These products fit together like puzzle pieces, covering all aspects from underlying technology to practical applications.
Decentralization and User Control: Solayer emphasizes that users have complete control over their assets, unlike traditional finance which relies on banks or third parties. Its non-custodial model allows users more freedom and security when trading and spending, which is the core spirit of Web3.
Community and Investment Backing: Solayer has received investments from major institutions such as Binance Labs and Polychain Capital, and the community boasts over 200,000 active users. This support provides resources to continuously expand its ecosystem, such as collaborating with SolanaID to create an on-chain identity system that further connects the real world with blockchain.
In summary, Solayer is like an 'upgraded version' of Solana, redefining the possibilities of blockchain with faster speeds, a stronger ecosystem, and applications that are closer to real life.
Why should everyone have an Emerald Card?
The Emerald Card is the star product of the Solayer ecosystem; simply put, it is a card that allows you to spend cryptocurrency (such as USDC) directly in the real world, regarded as the 'on-chain Visa'.
Directly consume with cryptocurrency: You can directly spend USDC from your Solayer wallet at over 100 million merchants in more than 150 countries (both online and offline), and even withdraw cash from ATMs. There’s no need to convert cryptocurrency into fiat currency, eliminating cumbersome exchange steps, making it super convenient.
Non-custodial, safer assets: Unlike traditional bank cards or some centralized crypto cards, the Emerald Card allows you to have complete control over your assets. Transactions are settled directly on-chain, eliminating the need to hand over money to third parties, reducing the risk of hacking or platform failure.
Stable returns of 4-5%: By holding sUSD (Solayer's stablecoin, backed by U.S. Treasury bonds), you can earn about 4-5% annualized returns. It’s like keeping your money in the card; not only can you spend it, but it can also appreciate like bank wealth management, even small amounts like $5 can earn money!
Attractive reward mechanism: Spending with the Emerald Card earns you Emerald Points, which can be redeemed for airdrops, staking rewards, and even exclusive products. Moreover, by inviting friends to use the card, you can earn 10% of their spending points permanently! It’s like a 'money-making card'.
Globally accepted, highly compatible: The Emerald Card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, usable in over 100 countries, and will also support Ethereum and other chains (EVM) in the future. No matter where you are, spending is as smooth as using a regular bank card.
In simple terms, the Emerald Card combines the convenience of cryptocurrency with the practicality of traditional bank cards, offering benefits and rewards, making it the 'magic card' of the Web3 era.
The Solayer ecosystem is rapidly expanding and has the potential to become a 'super hub' for Web3 finance in the future. Solayer's future resembles a 'decentralized financial empire': InfiniSVM provides super performance, sUSD becomes the benchmark for on-chain dollars, and the Emerald Card brings cryptocurrency into daily life. It may challenge the centralized model of traditional finance and become a composite of 'Visa + Bank + Investment Platform' in the Web3 era. Imagine a future where you use an Emerald Card to buy coffee, earn rewards, participate in on-chain governance, and invest in metaverse assets—this is the Web3 financial blueprint that Solayer is paving!
