Solayer’s sBridge + Emerald Card — turning SVM speed into real-world rails

Solayer just shipped sBridge, a native SVM bridge engineered for ultra-low latency cross-chain transfers between Solana and InfiniSVM/SVM networks — it uses PDA proofs and hardware-backed ED25519 signatures to move assets without EVM translation overhead.

Why that’s a fresh, high-impact angle: sBridge + InfiniSVM closes the performance → payments loop. Solayer’s Emerald Card (the project’s merchant-facing payment product) is expanding merchant coverage and cross-chain capability, meaning on-ramps and real-world spend can directly tap SVM liquidity and speed. That’s utility demand for $LAYER that isn’t just staking or speculation.

Verified anchors: Solayer launched an InfiniSVM devnet (performance benchmarks announced) and is targeting mainnet later in 2025 — sBridge is part of that rollout to unlock instant settlement across SVM chains.

Token context: $LAYER’s supply is 1 billion with an initial circulating tranche (~220M) and a community-forward allocation (including airdrop programs) — payments and merchant utility can convert transactional velocity into recurring protocol fees and organic token demand if adoption follows.

Quick take: if sBridge + Emerald Card deliver low-friction merchant rails, Solayer’s story shifts from “scalable chain” to payments network + settlement token — adoption timing and merchant liquidity will decide whether that narrative sticks.@Solayer #BuiltonSolayer $LAYER
