Architecture
Solayer Chain scales a single global state machine by distributing workloads across microservices and specialized hardware accelerators while maintaining atomic state transitions. This avoids the state fragmentation common in sharded or rollup-based designs. Solayer Chain delivers 1M+ TPS with low latency and full composability — no fragmented state, no cross-shard coordination overhead.
Performance Targets
- 1M+ TPS: Sustained transaction throughput (currently achieving 340k+ TPS in devnet)
- 100Gbps+ Bandwidth: Network capacity for high-throughput data processing
- Microsecond Latency: Ultra-low inter-node communication
- Atomic Composability: No fragmented state
- Solana VM Compatible: Deploy existing Solana programs with minimal changes
Hardware-Accelerated Execution
Solayer offloads critical blockchain operations to distinct, highly optimized hardware clusters:- Signature Verification: Dedicated verification accelerators
- Transaction Filtering: Pre-execution validation and filtering
- Simulation: Transaction outcome prediction
- Scheduling: Intelligent transaction ordering
- Storage: High-performance distributed storage
Network & Communication Layer
InfiniBand RDMA
Near-microsecond inter-node communication through:- Remote memory operations without CPU involvement
- Bypassing traditional OS network stacks
- Zero-copy, high-speed data transfers
Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
Programmable network control enabling:- Dynamic routing and traffic optimization
- Custom protocol deployment
- Consistent line-rate performance at scale
Execution & Consensus
Multi-Executor Architecture
Sharded execution across multiple nodes with:- Speculative transaction execution
- Fine-grained scheduling
- Database sharding with RDMA
- Concurrent transaction processing
Hybrid Consensus (PoA + PoS)
Combines Proof-of-Authority with Proof-of-Stake:- Megaleader model with decentralized verifiers
- Speculative execution before sequencing
- Fallback consensus secured by Solana
Network Access
Mainnet RPC Endpoint
For production applications:Devnet RPC Endpoint
For testing and development:The devnet is specifically for testing purposes only. As we’re in the internal devnet phase, the network may be intermittently unstable and the blockchain state might be reset during performance upgrades.
