When I was a child, my mom was always worried that I would be scammed by 'virtual currencies', now she studies sUSD with an annualized return of 4% every day and asks me when the Solayer Emerald Card will arrive. Yes, reality is changing faster than I can change my phone.
In the past, we had unwavering faith in banks, believing that putting money in the bank was safe. Unfortunately, inflation hasn't changed, but deposit rates have - they have become increasingly low. My mom's fixed deposit for 3 years yields 2%, while I can deposit sUSD for 4% in 3 seconds, and it arrives in real-time, supporting deposits and withdrawals at will.
The sUSD behind Solayer is backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, which sounds 'honest and straightforward', but that is what finally changed my mom's perception of blockchain. It turns out that you can earn 'stable money' on-chain, and you can use the Emerald Card to scan for payments at the supermarket, just like using a bank card.
🔋 InfiniSVM: The alchemy of a performance monster.
Solayer can achieve these things thanks to its ultimate weapon - InfiniSVM, a super engine that combines hardware acceleration with protocol reconstruction. It is said that the target TPS is in the millions, which is ten times the current scalability of Solana, akin to my mom transitioning from a feature phone to a smartphone, experiencing a dramatic leap.
🚀 Emerald Card vs Traditional Bank Card: Who understands young people better?
• Bank Card: Swipe, pay fees, delayed arrival, and foreign exchange is required for overseas transactions.
• Emerald Card: One-click payment with on-chain USDC, directly linked to blockchain accounts, plus an exclusive 10% discount from Nansen (my mom doesn't understand Nansen, but she loves hearing the word 'discount').
The key is that the Emerald Card also has a rewards program + USDC deposits enjoy Treasury bond returns, and this 'easy money' experience made my mom say: 'This card is even better than your dad's civil servant card.'
📅 On May 21, at the SVM Summit hosted by Solayer, InfiniSVM Devnet was officially launched. I watched the live stream with my mom, and for the first time, she listened seriously as I talked about on-chain TPS and shared security issues. She even asked me: 'Will everyone use this kind of card in the future?'
🤖 Solayer is not issuing coins, but reshaping infrastructure.
From high-performance chains to sUSD, and then to on-chain Visa cards, what I see is a complete on-chain financial matrix, not for issuing coins to pump prices, but to solve real-life problems - like my mom's problems: low yields, complicated transfers, and lack of security.

Epilogue:
Solayer is not just about making a 'faster chain', but about creating a 'more useful chain'. It is not a toy factory for Web3, but a new infrastructure company. The widespread adoption of the Emerald Card, the cross-chain expansion of sUSD on Base, and collaborations with Nubit, Nansen, and others mean that we are no longer early speculators, but the first 'residents' of the new financial world.
I cut up my bank card, not to show off, but because my mom is now starting to say to me: 'Don't rush, the interest rate for USDC is pretty good today.'
