The team behind Solayer, a restaking protocol in the Solana ecosystem, has announced its work on InfiniSVM—an SVM-based blockchain with hardware acceleration.

Solayer InfiniSVM – a hardware-accelerated SVM blockchain – the grand finale of our vision

According to the project’s litepaper, the new solution dynamically scales to meet application demands, with transaction confirmations reportedly taking just one millisecond.

SVM refers to the Solana Virtual Machine, which processes thousands of transactions per second using parallelization. Its architecture differs from the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which relies on sequential transaction execution.

Key Features and Governance

Recently, the Solayer team revealed plans for a non-profit organization and announced the forthcoming governance token LAYER.
InfiniSVM will use a cluster-based infrastructure with multi-execution powered by software-defined networking, supporting throughput up to 100 Gbps.
The chosen consensus mechanism is a hybrid “proof of delegated stake,” designed to coordinate a network of providers for rapid transaction validation.

Horizontal Scaling for Solana Developers say InfiniSVM will horizontally scale Solana’s network infrastructure. The plan includes integrating sSOL and sUSD (Solayer’s native revenue-generating assets) into InfiniSVM, allowing users to stake with these tokens.

Unlike the main Solana network, alternative SVM implementations (like InfiniSVM) operate independently. Such solutions can be used to create Layer 2 or even standalone blockchains optimized for specific use cases.

Context

In March, Injective introduced its interoperability solution Cascade, enabling Solana developers to deploy their applications within the Cosmos ecosystem.
