Infinite Machines, 1ms Latency: The Future of Speed with Solayer InfiniSVM
Solayer's approach of combining hardware offloading and scalable consensus models like hybrid Proof-of-Authority-and-Stake addresses longstanding scalability and performance challenges in blockchain networks
> Utilizes SDN (Software-Defined Networking) switches and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) to dynamically shard a single machine's SVM (State Virtual Machine) into infinite, scalable machines
> Offloading to hardware circuits (rather than software processing) spans multiple layers of functionality, including ingress, sequencing, scheduling, banking, and storage
> Aims to achieve 1ms latency, pushing the boundaries of execution speeds
> Implements a hybrid consensus mechanism
> Hardware offloading is leveraged for accelerated transaction processing, especially by mega leaders in the network
> Solayer enables high throughput even under extreme stress, such as billions of simultaneous USDC transfers or millions of memecoin trades on platforms like Raydium
