Solayer, a Solana restaking project, unveils high-performance InfiniSVM blockchain

The team behind the Solayer restaking protocol in the Solana ecosystem said it is building InfiniSVM — a SVM blockchain with hardware acceleration.

According to the project’s litepaper, the new solution scales dynamically with application demand; transaction confirmation takes just one millisecond.

SVM is the software infrastructure of the Solana blockchain, processing thousands of transactions per second through parallelisation. Its architecture differs from the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which uses a sequential processing model.

Days ago, the Solayer team announced the creation of a non-profit organisation and unveiled a LAYER governance token.

InfiniSVM will use a multi-execution cluster architecture based on software-defined networking, supporting throughput of up to 100 Gbps. As its consensus mechanism, it will employ a hybrid “proof of assigned stake” model that coordinates a network of providers for rapid transaction verification.

According to the developers, SVM will horizontally scale Solana’s network infrastructure. The team also plans to integrate the protocol’s native “yield” assets — sSOL and sUSD — into InfiniSVM, enabling them to be used for staking.

Alternative SVMs such as InfiniSVM operate independently of Solana’s main network. Such solutions can be used to build L2s or even standalone blockchains tailored to specific use cases.

In March, the Injective team launched the Cascade interoperability solution, enabling Solana developers to deploy applications in the Cosmos ecosystem.
