How to obtain airdrops, focus on the key points at the front, in simple terms. @Solayer
1. Get the Solayer airdrop for free
Participate #币安广场征文 Publish #Solayer无限硬件加速 related quality tweets, and winners can receive token airdrop rewards, and everyone can participate.
2. By staking sol and usdc on the official website (https://app.solayer.org/), you can participate in the second season Solayer airdrop. The annualized rate is higher for sol. $LAYER
The current coin price is around 0.7u, excluding the inflated price of about 3u on the first day.
3. Obtain a Solayer Emerald Card (virtual u-card) for free, which can be linked to Alipay and WeChat for direct consumption, avoiding issues with frequent small withdrawals due to risk control. Consumption can earn points for airdrops. Those who participated in the first season of staking and have a whitelist only need to spend 10u to activate it. If you do not have the qualification to activate, the current discounted cost is 75u. The Emerald Card has been out for a while, and there are currently no issues. The project team is continuously enhancing the card's capabilities and recently cooperated with Buildpad to participate in the $49 million financing pre-sale of Sahara AI, securing priority allocation.
The project team claims that it is still early, and those interested can participate.
Below is the project's technical introduction and views
In the blockchain world, performance has always been the core battlefield for public chain competition. Solana is known for its high throughput and low latency, but as on-chain demand continues to grow, bottleneck issues are gradually becoming apparent. The emergence of Solayer, especially the InfiniSVM hardware acceleration technology proposed in its 2025 roadmap, injects new vitality into the Solana ecosystem and marks the beginning of a technological revolution! #Solayer Infinite Hardware Acceleration
Solayer InfiniSVM: The Deep Integration of Hardware and Blockchain
Solayer InfiniSVM constructs a multi-execution cluster architecture that supports infinite scalability through SDN (Software Defined Networking) and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) technology, aiming to achieve network speeds of 100 Gbps and millions of TPS (transactions per second). This innovation in hardware acceleration is not merely a simple stacking of computing power, but a complete redesign of the execution environment of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) from the ground up.
Traditional blockchain expansion solutions, such as Ethereum's Layer2, usually share the pressure of the main network through sharding or side chains, but often sacrifice the atomicity of the global state. In contrast, Solayer's InfiniSVM enhances performance significantly while maintaining atomic state consistency by decomposing transaction processing into independent steps such as signature verification, deduplication, scheduling, and storage, utilizing FPGA hardware acceleration and distributed microservice architecture. This deep integration of 'hardware + software' not only breaks through the bottlenecks of CPU and network bandwidth but also provides more efficient solutions for high-concurrency scenarios (such as GameFi, DeFi, and RWA).
Why is hardware acceleration needed?
The current hardware requirements for Solana validation nodes are quite stringent: 3.1GHz+ CPU, 500GB high-speed memory, 2.5TB NVMe storage; however, in high-load scenarios, CPU utilization is only about 30%, and P2P communication approaches the consumer-grade bandwidth limit of 1Gbps. This indicates that performance bottlenecks arise not only from computing power but also involve network communication and architectural efficiency. Solayer achieves 1ms transaction confirmation through InfiniBand technology and enhances throughput to more than three times that of the Solana mainnet using a dynamic sharding mechanism and parallelized instruction set, laying the foundation for future large-scale on-chain applications.
Even more exciting is that Solayer Chain introduces a Hooks mechanism, allowing developers to embed logic for arbitrage, liquidation, etc., directly into the chain, and incentivizing participation through a bidding model similar to Dutch auctions. This design not only enhances on-chain functionality but also effectively prevents malicious MEV (Miner Extractable Value) behavior by distributing transaction fees (40% to transaction initiators, 40% to program owners, 20% to the network), creating a fairer ecosystem for users and developers.
The market potential and challenges of Solayer
Solayer's narrative shift is textbook-level: from re-staking protocols to RWA stablecoins (Solayer USD), and then to hardware-accelerated SVM, each step precisely hits market hotspots. As of January 2025, its TVL has reached $370 million, with approximately 275,000 depositors and an annualized yield of 13.41%, ranking ninth in the Solana ecosystem. The LAYER token surged 367% after being listed on Binance, reflecting strong market confidence in its technological prospects.
However, Solayer's ambitions also come with challenges. First, the implementation of hardware acceleration solutions needs to address hardware compatibility and security audit issues. The blockchain application of technologies such as RDMA is still a pioneering effort, and the actual effects still need to be verified. Secondly, the high inflation model of the LAYER token may trigger price fluctuations, and investors need to be wary of short-term speculation risks.
Future Outlook: Can Solayer become the 'ultimate answer' for Solana?
Solayer's technological innovation not only points the way for the Solana ecosystem but also for the entire blockchain industry. The realization of millions of TPS will give Solana an edge in scenarios such as PayFi, DePIN, complex chain games, and AI Agents. At the same time, Solayer strengthens chain security through the acquisition of Fuzzland and gains endorsements from top investors, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, showcasing strong technological and capital strength.
In my view, the real value of Solayer lies in its exploration of the limits of blockchain performance. Hardware acceleration is not just a technological breakthrough but a shift in mindset—from relying on algorithm optimization to collaborative design of software and hardware. This could become the key to winning the competition among the next generation of public chains.
