TL;DR
- InfiniSVM, a hardware-accelerated blockchain solution based on the Solana Virtual Machine, promises a transaction confirmation time of just 1 millisecond.
- Solayer, with nearly $400 million in total value locked, is developing its own blockchain to enhance Solana’s scalability and meet the demands of high-performance applications.
- The platform will integrate native yield-bearing assets like sSOL and sUSD, allowing users to stake these assets on the network.
Solayer, the restaking protocol within the Solana ecosystem, has made a groundbreaking announcement with the development of InfiniSVM, a hardware-accelerated blockchain solution based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The company published a litepaper outlining the capabilities of this innovative platform, claiming a transaction confirmation time of just 1 millisecond, which could revolutionize the Solana ecosystem.
The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) is the infrastructure that supports decentralized applications on the Solana blockchain, enabling thousands of transactions per second through a parallel processing model. This differentiates it from other solutions like the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which uses a sequential processing model. However, with InfiniSVM, Solayer aims to take this capability even further, allowing the platform to dynamically scale to meet the demands of high-performance applications while maintaining efficient transaction confirmation.
An Unprecedented Scalability Solution
Solayer, which began as a restaking protocol similar to Ethereum’s EigenLayer, currently has nearly $400 million in total value locked. This value is secured through staking SOL, Solana’s native token, which strengthens the security of decentralized applications on the platform. Now, the company is expanding its vision by developing its own blockchain with InfiniSVM, a project that promises to be “the grand finale” of Solayer’s long-term vision.
InfiniSVM will feature a multi-execution cluster architecture using software-defined networking, capable of supporting bandwidth up to 100 Gbps. It will also use a hybrid “proof of assigned stake” consensus mechanism to coordinate a network of validators for high-speed transaction verification. This unique infrastructure will ensure that the platform remains highly efficient, even as it scales to accommodate the increasing demands of decentralized applications and network users.
In parallel, Solayer has launched a non-profit foundation, aimed at promoting project governance through the launch of a governance token. With InfiniSVM, the platform will not only offer a more robust infrastructure but will also integrate native yield-bearing assets like sSOL and sUSD, allowing users to stake these assets on the network for additional rewards and participation.
The arrival of projects like InfiniSVM is expanding the horizons of the Solana Virtual Machine beyond the main Solana network. While the SVM has traditionally been tied to Solana’s ecosystem, it is now being used innovatively in Layer 2 solutions and new chains that leverage its performance, offering enhanced and optimized functionalities.
