Solayer achieves a breakthrough of millions of TPS through InfiniSVM
InfiniSVM is built on the core idea that 'future on-chain financial transaction processing needs cannot be met solely by software.' It reconstructs the blockchain transaction verification and storage core components by offloading to dedicated hardware, effectively addressing resource consumption issues such as signature verification.
On the technical side, InfiniSVM integrates several cutting-edge technologies: using InfiniBand and RDMA technology to achieve ultra-fast data transfer and microsecond-level communication between nodes, meeting the required 80-100 Gbps network throughput for over 1 million TPS; optimizing traffic and transaction routing with software-defined networking (SDN), combined with a multi-executor parallel processing architecture to flexibly scale network performance.
In terms of consensus mechanism, the innovative PoAS (Proof of Authority + Proof of Stake) model quickly aggregates transactions through super leaders and decentralizes validation through validators, breaking through the bottleneck of traditional PoS in high TPS environments. Regarding user experience, it supports direct interactions with existing Solana wallets without needing to switch networks or sign additionally, providing a 'single chain experience.'
Currently, the InfiniSVM internal development network has achieved over 340,000 TPS, with hardware offloading completed in the core pipeline, and will officially launch on May 21, 2025, at the New York SVM Summit 2025.
At the same time, the product matrix built around InfiniSVM forms a highly collaborative vertically integrated ecosystem, providing users with comprehensive on-chain financial services from underlying infrastructure to real-world payment solutions.
sUSD: Redefining the yield potential of stablecoins
Support for US Treasury innovative mechanisms
sUSD is a native interest-bearing stablecoin issued by Solayer, pegged to the US dollar and backed by real-world assets (RWA), especially US Treasury securities. This stablecoin employs an auto-rebasing mechanism, automatically adjusting the sUSD balance in holders' wallets to reflect accrued yields, allowing users to passively earn an annual yield of 4-5% just by holding.
Solayer collaborates with OpenEden, which is a 'fully managed and compliant RWA platform,' supporting the issuance of Treasury securities for sUSD. This partnership is crucial for the transparency and legitimacy of Treasury-backed assets. sUSD operates using a request for quote (RFQ) protocol to match engines for decentralized trading markets, allowing users to obtain US Treasury yields without relying on multiple platforms.
Cross-chain scaling and application scenarios
sUSD has been expanded to the Base network through Wormhole's native token cross-chain bridge (NTT), achieving broader on-chain financial connectivity. In addition to value storage, sUSD also supports on-chain tipping functionality and is designed for integration into lending, trading, and staking platforms. Reportedly, the total value locked (TVL) of sUSD has grown to over $30-32 million in a short period.
Technical features and security considerations
sUSD expands functionality through SPL Token 2022, supporting interest calculation features that grow over time, similar to bank interest calculation mechanisms. However, the Cyberscope audit results indicated that although the overall assessment was 'neutral risk' or 'low risk,' the security score was 35%, placing it in the bottom 10%. The audit pointed out several key permissions, including minting rights, freezing rights, and interest rate change permissions, all concentrated in specific addresses, presenting certain centralization risks.
Native staking of SOL: Maximizing the yield potential of Solana
Mega Validator high-yield strategy
Solayer launched the native staking function for SOL on March 4, achieving it through the high-yield 'Mega Validator,' reportedly the highest-yielding validator node on Solana, offering an annual yield rate of about 12%. Users receive sSOL, a liquid staking token that represents the staking position while maintaining liquidity, which can be used for trading or in DeFi when staking SOL through Solayer.
Yield enhancement
The yield from re-staking sSOL has always been high. sSOL can be delegated to AVS partners or used in collaborative DeFi protocols like Orca to provide liquidity and earn additional rewards. This design allows SOL holders to earn compound returns while participating in network security.
Emerald Card: A bridge linking the crypto world with real-world payments
Global payment infrastructure integration
The Emerald Card is a globally accepted on-chain Visa card designed to seamlessly connect crypto assets with real-world payment scenarios. The card supports USDC deposits, allowing users to earn a 4% yield derived from US Treasury securities. It is positioned for global acceptance and is said to be usable at over 1 million merchants in more than 150 countries, supporting Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Non-custodial features and fee structure
The Emerald Card is described as non-custodial, with transactions settling directly on-chain, allowing users to control their assets. Regarding the fee structure, there is a 1% top-up fee, a $0.15 fee for USD transactions, and a $0.10 + 1.5% fee for non-USD transactions. The balance in the card (sUSD) can still earn returns while pending consumption, which is its core feature.
Localized payment integration and user experience
User feedback indicates that the actual application of the Emerald Card is significant: it can be linked to Apple Pay and used for payments in the US App Store (e.g., Twitter Blue, ChatGPT), solving the problem of ordinary USD card payments being blocked; it can be linked to WeChat and Alipay for direct USD consumption in China, even for small purchases like coffee, providing a 'very smooth' experience.
Rewards ecosystem and partnerships
The Emerald Card comes with a complete rewards program, allowing consumers to earn 'Emerald Points' that can be redeemed for airdrops, staking rewards, exclusive products, international travel/hotel redemptions, and discounts. Enhanced rewards partnerships include:
Nubit collaboration: Emerald Card holders will receive Bitcoin worth between $5 and $100; the card is the first consumption card supporting the new Bitcoin scaling protocol, Bitcoin Thunderbolt.
Chaos Finance collaboration: Launch of the 'Emerald Rewards Airdrop,' with a total airdrop amount exceeding $20K in $CHAOS tokens.
Nansen collaboration: Cardholders can enjoy a 10% exclusive discount on Nansen analytics products.
Synergistic effects and strategic value of the product matrix
Vertically integrated flywheel effect
Solayer's products are not isolated but are designed as a highly collaborative ecosystem:
InfiniSVM provides high-performance tracks for all transactions
sUSD acts as a stable, interest-bearing medium of exchange and value storage within the ecosystem
The Emerald Card drives the utility of sUSD and brings transaction flow to InfiniSVM from real-world consumption
sSOL staking incentivizes SOL holding and network participation, with returns potentially enhanced by the efficiency of InfiniSVM
This creates a vertically integrated stack from L1 to payments, capable of generating a powerful flywheel effect where the growth of one product drives the adoption and utility of others.
A bridge between TradFi and DeFi
Choosing US Treasury securities as the backing for sUSD, collaborating with 'compliant RWA platforms' like OpenEden, and emphasizing performance comparable to 'traditional financial systems' signal Solayer's intention to attract institutions and connect TradFi with DeFi. This positioning allows Solayer to cater not only to retail users but also aims to become an infrastructure provider for institutional DeFi and large-scale financial applications.
Through this product matrix, Solayer is building an unprecedented on-chain financial ecosystem that integrates hardware-accelerated extreme performance, stable yield mechanisms, and seamless real-world applications.
