Solayer is the first hardware-accelerated blockchain that offloads blockchain components onto programmable chips to target 1MM+ TPS and 100Gbps+ network bandwidth, enabling near-zero latency use cases. Solayer’s InfiniSVM architecture infinitely scales the SVM leveraging SDN, RDMA, and dedicated hardware like InfiniBand technology together with a multi-execution model to increase bandwidth and reduce latency. LAYER is the native governance token that is used for: Protocol upgrades, such as adding supported assets Treasury management, such as diversification Key ecosystem initiatives, such as grants What is Hardware Acceleration? Solayer’s mission is to infinitely scale the SVM and decentralized technologies. The thesis is that software scaling has reached its limit and the next frontier for blockchain scalability would be unlocked by overcoming hardware limitations. Solayer supports a high throughput, near-zero latency blockchain that infinitely scales the SVM. This is made possible by offloading blockchain components onto dedicated hardware. The InfiniSVM framework scales the single execution SVM machine into a multi-executor machine that can horizontally scale on demand as applications need it. InfiniSVM multi-execution machines will be connected by InfiniBand, a high performance computing (HPC) networking technology for supercomputers to enable hyperfast data transfer and communication. InfiniBand uses RDMA to allow for direct memory access, bypassing the CPU and reducing latency.
