How Solayer Enhances the Solana Network #
Solayer is a new project within the Solana ecosystem built entirely for speed. The network can process over one million transactions per second. For comparison, Solana itself handles about 7,000, while many other blockchains are stuck at a few thousand.
This massive leap comes from InfiniSVM, an enhanced version of the Solana virtual machine that processes transactions. Instead of running everything through standard software, Solayer uses specialized hardware that can transfer data directly between servers. This bypasses most of the delay and handles transactions almost instantly.
Since its launch in February 2024, Solayer has grown rapidly. It focuses on better liquidity and making staking accessible to a broad audience. Over $45 million has been deposited by users, and the network already has over 300,000 accounts.
Solayer has also received support from major names in the industry. Last year, the project raised over $12 million from investors such as Polychain Capital and Binance Labs.
Finally, Solayer is co-founded by Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, the same founders as Solana. This makes it clear that Solayer is a strategic expansion of the Solana ecosystem.
