Accelerating Into Q2: Emerald Card, SVM Summit & Testnet
At the beginning of the year we announced (https://x.com/solayer_labs/status/1876360823540695210) InfiniSVM, a hardware-accelerated SVM blockchain designed from first principles. Our thesis (https://x.com/solayer_labs/status/1879775842529943750) is simple: blockchains won’t scale to support trillions of transactions through software alone. The future of on-chain finance requires a network that is infinitely scalable, real-time, and built on cypherpunk principles.
Since then, we’ve been heads down building. Internal devnet is now live. Explorer, RPC, and faucet are operational. Throughput has already exceeded 340,000 TPS, with most of the core pipeline offloaded to hardware.

To accelerate security and develop, we acquired Fuzzland (https://x.com/solayer_labs/status/1877055730890715539), a deeply technical team with expertise in formal verification, on-chain security, and compiler design. Their experience spans critical areas like symbolic execution, zkVMs, fuzzing infrastructure, and bytecode-level auditing.
They’ve now joined Solayer full-time, working across both core protocol development and on our vertical product stack. Internally, they’re focused on securing the InfiniSVM execution pipeline, building fuzzing frameworks for our programs, and contributing to developer tools across the ecosystem.

As part of the same integrated stack, we launched the Mega Validator — now the highest-yielding validator on Solana. Shortly after, we enabled native SOL staking (https://x.com/solayer_labs/status/1896908517329834090), giving users a direct path to stake without LSTs, while maintaining yield at the top end of the market.
To support the Solana network during periods of congestion, we also made our transaction acceleration endpoint public, giving users priority access when it mattered most, and contributing infra capacity during a time when the Solana ecosystem pulled together to solve hard problems.
We also made cross-chain access to RWAs more accessible. Our collaboration with Wormhole and Mayan allows users to bridge USDC from any supported chain and mint it as sUSD on Solana in a single transaction. No detours. Just direct access to on-chain US T-Bill yields, just like a savings or money market account.

But the success of Solayer isn’t measured solely in benchmarks. It’s measured in the community we build along the way. From the beginning, we’ve structured incentives to support our early adopters and supporters, rewarding long-term participation.

A major milestone in this journey was the launch of LAYER. To make this a reality, we launched the Solayer Foundation, brought season 1 to a close, and completed the Genesis Drop. The community sale (https://x.com/solayer_labs/status/1881055597744751073) followed with over 200,000 registrants and over $57M in subscriptions.
The subsequent token distribution was made possible by being the first large-scale airdrop in history to use cutting-edge technology such as ZK compression to make airdrop claiming efficient.
LAYER is now in the hands of the community and available on many of the top exchanges and DEXes.
This was Q1. The core systems are live. Execution is accelerating. Now we move forward.
What’s next
Emerald Card - Your on-chain checking and savings account

Emerald Card is our first flagship consumer product – integrated with sSOL (https://solayer.org/platform/ssol) and sUSD (https://solayer.org/platform/susd) – built on top of the InfiniSVM stack. Emerald Card processes transactions on-chain and spends assets off-chain, starting with USDC on Solana, coming soon to EVM and InfiniSVM.
Available in over 100 countries, access a global network of merchants, as well as direct cash withdrawals at any ATM machine – all without depending on any centralized entities to custody assets.
Unlock exclusive perks and rewards through Emerald Rewards, including:
Upcoming token launches / incentive programs of leading projects and protocols
Special roles, perks, and points from partner campaigns
Priority customer support
Early previews and beta testing of upcoming Solayer products
Exclusive merchandise and unique experiences through Emerald Rewards
Internal testing is complete. The first IRL purchases are already happening. The public rollout begins shortly.
SVM Summit - Scaling Infinite Possibilities
🖼️ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GoNTeJsbYAAD-Ch.jpg
The culmination of our massively popular SVM Nights which we hosted in Hong Kong and Denver. This May, during Solana’s Accelerate week in NYC, we’ll be hosting the first SVM Summit - a dedicated event focused on the future of SVM infrastructure and on-chain finance.
Speakers, panels, and hands-on sessions will cover hardware acceleration, new execution models, and the vertical design of InfiniSVM. We’ll also be running builder workshops tied to onboarding the first public testnet participants. If you’re building at the infra, protocol, or application layer stay tuned for early invites.
Full announcement and speaker list coming soon.
Public Testnet
The next milestone for InfiniSVM is testnet. Our internal devnet is already live and stable, docs are live, and early benchmarks and results will be published in the coming weeks. As we wrap up devnet we’ll be transitioning to internal testnet, and finally public testnet later this quarter.
Partners and top community members will have first access, followed by developers and ecosystem teams who want to push the limits of what’s possible on a hardware-accelerated chain.
As we move deeper into testnet and eventually mainnet we’re preparing to introduce more products to the vertical stack, along with more integrations and partnerships. Come mainnet, InfiniSVM will be a fully integrated financial ecosystem - designed from the base layer up.
Solayer. Q2. Accelerate.
