Introduction
Solayer is the hardware-accelerated SVM L1 blockchain to support high throughput, near zero-latency use cases with 1M+ TPS and 100+ Gbps network bandwidth. The InfiniSVM infinitely scales the SVM through a multi-executor model, dedicated InfiniBand technology, SDN and RDMA.
Solayer enhances the user experience on Solana by expanding network bandwidth through endoAVS delegations, while providing one of the best performing validator infrastructure on the market.
a) Read the docs (https://docs.solayer.org). This may be the most important thing to understand what Solayer is about, and how one can interact with it. Then, don’t hesitate to ask any questions on the Solayer Discord server.
b) If you are completely new to Solana, check our Solayer 101 Academy and start learning from scratch. (Coming soon to our Discord - discord.com/invite/solayerlabs)
Account Setup
a) The 1st step is to go to the App (app.solayer.org) and connect your SVM wallet.
b) Then, connect your socials (X and Discord).
c) You’ll need an invite code to register, you can find them on the #codes channel.
d) Once connected, you’ll get 5 unique invite codes you can share with your friends or on your socials/#codes channel on the Solayer Discord.
e) Staking 10+ SOL will grant you access to a permanent referral code that you can share for an unlimited time.
Codes can be found in the #codes channel on the Discord server. Alternatively, you can get some from friends or people sharing those on social media (under @solayer_labs posts for instance).
a) On the dApp, click the Home page on the top right corner (on the left of your wallet address).
b) You’ll be able to see directly on the dashboard (under the “Markets” tab) your status.
c) You can also check your deposit/withdrawals history in the “History” tab.
Delegation
sSOL is a liquid token on Solayer that unlocks a range of DeFi use cases such as liquidity provisioning, collateral, and spot trading.
The delegation process involves three steps:
- Conversion: Users deposit native SOL to receive sSOL.
- Delegation: SOL is delegated to Solayer-recommended validators, which then delegate it to Delegates (dApps) on Solayer, converting sSOL to a delegated form.
- Minting Tokens: Delegates mint delegated sSOL tokens, which serve as stake proof to retrieve staked SOL and claim rewards.
Delegates are endogenous Actively Validated Services (AVSs), which are essentially dApps built on Solana. They can receive delegations of sSOL to secure network bandwidth and transaction throughput.
Stake-weighted quality of service (swQoS) allocates network resources, like block space and transaction processing, based on the delegations committed by delegators. The more delegations allocated for a dApp’s RPC, the higher the quality of service it will receive.
Users can earn native yields through MEV-boost and APY from delegates. They can also support their favorite Solana dApps by delegating assets towards them.
Currently, Solayer supports the following tokens for deposits:
- SOL (Solana Native Staking)
- mSOL (Marinade Staked SOL)
- INF (Infinity)
- JitoSOL (JitoSOL)
- bSOL (BlazeStake Staked SOL)
- hubSOL (SolanaHub Staked SOL)
- jupSOL (Jupiter Staked SOL)
- hSOL (Helius Staked SOL)
- LST (Liquid Staking Token by Marginfi)
- jSOL (JPool Staked SOL)
- BNSOL (Binance Staked SOL)
- bbSOL (Bybit Staked SOL)
