Solayer ignites 2025: an airdrop and a revolutionary Solayer InfiniSVM blockchain revealed

In 2023, the Eigenlayer protocol introduced the concept of Restaking on Ethereum. Thus, this consists of reusing the ETH deposited in staking to secure other chains or protocols. Now, this concept has been ported to other blockchains, such as Solana with the Solayer protocol. After raising several million dollars in 2024, the protocol is starting 2025 with a bang with several major announcements.

The key points of this article:
  • In 2025, Solayer announced the creation of its Foundation and the upcoming launch of its governance token, LAYER, accompanied by a community airdrop.
  • The protocol unveiled its roadmap for 2025, highlighting the Solayer InfiniSVM blockchain project, capable of processing more than a million transactions per second thanks to optimized hardware performance.

Solayer prepares the launch of the LAYER token

Launched during 2024, Solayer quickly surpassed TVL’s hundreds of millions of dollars. Thus, the protocol currently has almost $400 million deposited into its protocol pools.

Thursday January 2, while we were barely recovering from the New Year’s Eve festivities, Solayer announced the creation of the Solayer Foundation.

“The Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization that powers protocols that accelerate the mission of scaling distributed systems. »

At the same time, the teams also announced the upcoming arrival of its governance token: the LAYER.

Without much surprise, the launch of the token will be accompanied by a community airdrop. This will finalize season 1 of the Solayer campaign and will reward:

  • Users who participated in restaking;
  • Those who provided liquidity to sUSD;
  • Ecosystem partners.

“To ensure this aligns with our goals of fairly rewarding early backers and participants, we use a stake- and time-weighted system, which also takes sponsorship points into account. This extends to anyone who has provided liquidity for sSOL and sUSD or used Solayer products on protocol partner applications. »

For the moment, no details regarding the launch date of the token or its exact tokenomics have been shared.

Solayer InfiniSVM: a new blockchain in the crypto landscape

Monday January 6, the Solayer teams returned to the charge. Thus, they revealed the roadmap of the protocol for the coming year.

At the center of this roadmap, the teams unveil the blockchain project called Solayer InfiniSVM. This is then presented as an SVM blockchain which takes advantage of hardware performance to improve scalability.

On the dedicated page of the Solayer site, the project reveals that InfiniSVM would be able to process more than a million transactions per second. It would also have a speed of up to 100 Gb/s.

In practice, this solution offers an interesting approach to say the least. While L2s and other rollups are multiplying on Ethereum, Solayer has adopted another approach.

“While rollups increase throughput, it fragments a once-unified global state, weakening composability, atomic transitions, and liquidity. For example, if an asset is spread across multiple pools on different rollups, a cross-rollup swap may suffer from greater slippage compared to a single, unified liquidity pool. »

Unlike rollups that fragment transactions across multiple chains, Solayer InfiniSVM maintains complete transaction consistency. In particular thanks to a modular architecture and the use of specialized hardware to maximize performance.

Some key features

Under the hood, this blockchain offers several innovative features.

On the one hand, it is based on a hybrid consensus, combining Proof-of-Authority and Proof-of-Stake.

On the other hand, unlike Ethereum and Solana, Solayer InfiniSVM processes multiple transactions at the same time conflict-free, thanks to a system that analyzes transactions and their execution in advance.

For their part, Solana users are eagerly awaiting another airdrop that has just been announced. Indeed, DEX aggregator Jupiter is preparing to distribute the second airdrop in its history during the month of January.
