Traditional rollup-based designs rely on commodity validators to verify transactions, but high-throughput verification (1Gb/s) exceeds the capabilities of most nodes. Posting such data on Layer 1 (L1) is bandwidth-intensive and costly. InfiniSVM addresses these challenges with a Proof-of-Authority-and-Stake (PoAS) model that combines sequencer-led verification, distributed proof generation, and fallback security on Solana.
To prevent hardware-intensive requirements for provers:
The sequencer uses a round-robin method to select 2/3 of online provers.
Subdivided verification tasks allow provers to distribute workload across multiple nodes.
Elastic cloud scaling allows provers to handle surges in verification demand.
Prover reward structure:
Earn fees from processed shreds and inflationary $LAYER rewards.
Malicious or inactive provers face slashing:
1st violation: Loss of epoch fees.
2nd violation: 1% slash on staked tokens.
Subsequent violations: 5% stake slash per offense.
The PoAS model in InfiniSVM achieves:
Scalable, high-throughput consensus without overloading L1.
Efficient, decentralized validation via sequencer-led voting.
Robust security with fallback mechanisms on Solana.
By optimizing prover participation, reducing L1 bandwidth costs, and ensuring censorship resistance, InfiniSVM scales consensus while maintaining decentralization and integrity.
