    // Project Summary

    Solayer is developing InfiniSVM, a next-generation blockchain architecture that can achieve unprecedented throughput, low latency, and robust composability. InfiniSVM architecture leverages Infiniband RDMA for near-microsecond inter-node communication and advanced concurrency control strategies. It pushes blockchain performance to hardware limits, targeting 1M+ TPS and 100Gbps+ network bandwidth. This design provides a path for next-generation applications that require high throughput, low fees, and a seamless composable environment. Solayer was launched in Q1 2024.

    // Key project highlights

    Solayer has previously established its foundation from its staking infrastructure on Solana with the launch of native SOL staking which accumulated $350 million in TVL. Additionally, Solayer has launched the first yield-bearing stablecoin backed by T-bill yield on Solana, Solayer USD (sUSD). sUSD introduces a stable, yield-bearing option, while allowing users to secure decentralized services.
    Solayer is now launching InfiniSVM, a high throughput and near-zero latency blockchain. This is made possible by leveraging Infiniband technology, dedicated hardware to enable wire-speed execution, and multi-executor clusters to power the fastest edge distributed processing.

    Technology

    InfiniSVM advocates for a multi-executor, hardware-accelerated SVM network. It uses Software-defined Networking (SDN) switches and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to dynamically shard a single execution machine of SVM, to infinite machines, as applications demand it.
    By offloading every component of Solana onto programmable hardware switches, it scales Solana infinitely while preserving a global atomic state. The architecture decomposes critical pipeline stages into microservices to scale non-atomic components like ingress and state publishing, hardware acceleration for scheduling and locking, a sharded database for scaling storage, and a new hybrid consensus protocol based on Solana that guarantees both security and low latency.
    To further increase usability, InfiniSVM introduces chain-level support of hooks, cross-chain contract calls, jumbo transactions, seamless wallet support, and OAuth-based signers. Overall, it aims to become the most user-friendly chain with 1M+ TPS and 100Gbps+ bandwidth.
    Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enables zero-copy data transfer directly between application memory spaces across the network. This architecture bypasses traditional operating system networking stacks, eliminating context switches and CPU overhead associated with network I/O processing. InfiniBand is a prominent implementation of RDMA, offering a high-speed, low-latency networking architecture tailored for high-performance computing and data center environments. Its efficiency and scalability have led to widespread adoption in distributed machine learning and other data-intensive applications.
    Software-defined Networking (SDN) separates the control plane from the data plane, enabling programmatic control over network behavior through a logically centralized controller. This programmability enables implementation of complex network functions like load balancing, traffic engineering, and network virtualization directly in the data plane while maintaining line-rate performance.

    Conditions to participate

    1. Complete KYC requirements before committing capital to the Community Sale, users' KYC statuses are tied to their Solana wallet addresses connected on Buidlpad.

    2. Commit capital in USDC (Solana) or USDT (Solana) or SOL, WIF and BONK within the subscription period set out above.

    3. Authenticate their X account and follow Buidlpad and Solayer on X.

    4. Enter a valid email address.

    $LAYER distribution

    Purchasers are eligible to receive Solayer's protocol token ($LAYER) in their KYC address at the token generation event.

    Solayer Emerald Metal Card

    Solayer Emerald Metal Card is a crypto debit card issued by Solayer. Participants of the Community Sale are whitelisted for the Solayer Emerald Metal Cards.

    Users who opt in for the card agree to allowing Buidlpad to share their information including but not limited to personal identity information, email address and optional physical address to third party card operators. Solayer Emerald Metal Cards will be sent virtually to users’ email addresses and sent to users’ physical addresses if requested.

    Subscription limits for Community Sale

    Minimum subscription: 50 USDC or USDT, or equivalent USD value of SOL, WIF, BONK, sUSD, and sSOL

    Maximum subscription: 2,000 USDC or USDT, or equivalent USD value of SOL, WIF, BONK, sUSD, and sSOL

    Whitelisted community contributors of Buidlpad are entitled to a maximum subscription of up to 5,000 USDC or USDT, or equivalent value of SOL, WIF, BONK, sUSD, and sSOL.

    A list of existing Solayer users based on the snapshot of 2025-01-10 at 6:05 AM (UTC) has been provided to Buidlpad by Solayer. The maximum subscription limit for these users is 3,000 USD. However, the list will undergo anti-sybil analysis. Please note that users are not able to change their wallet address previously registered with Buidlpad.

    Buidlpad will conduct eligibility checks after registration and KYC close on 2025-01-15 11:59 PM (UTC) and publish the results before the subscription begins. Only addresses who are confirmed as eligible will be able to subscribe and commit funds on our page anytime during the subscription period. Any attempts to circumvent our rules will be detected, and funds will be returned at a later date.

    The number of LAYER tokens each participant can purchase will be determined by the ratio of their committed subscription amount to the total subscription pool from all eligible participants. Excess subscription payment will be returned to users' wallet in their payment token(s).

    The subscription will go for the full duration of the sale to avoid any sophisticated setup and automated bots transactions from taking up the entire allocation. If the total interest exceeds $10.5M, all participants’ final allocation amount will be proportionally scaled down, and the remaining capital will be returned. For example, if the total subscription amount reaches $25M with 20,000 eligible participants contributing $1,250 each, the final allocation for each of these participants will be $525 and $725 will be returned to each. $10.5M is the total fundraising amount and $14.5M in total will be returned.
