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.
Solayer Chain Architecture

​
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
This division enables massive parallelization and eliminates bottlenecks in transaction processing.

​
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: 
https://mainnet-rpc.solayer.org
Configure Solana CLI for mainnet: 
solana config set --url https://mainnet-rpc.solayer.org

​
Devnet RPC Endpoint

For testing and development: 
https://devnet-rpc.solayer.org
Configure Solana CLI for devnet: 
solana config set --url https://devnet-rpc.solayer.org
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.

​
Compatible Tooling

Solayer Chain works with standard Solana development tools:
  • Solana CLI
  • Web3.js
  • Anchor
  • Other Solana SDK libraries
