Company profile
researched Aug 2026Solayer operates a vertically integrated on-chain finance stack built around Solayer Chain, a hardware-accelerated, SVM-native layer-1 blockchain positioned for high scalability, low latency and near-zero transaction costs. The chain's advertised architecture includes a stated capacity of 1 million transactions per second, a multi-executor execution model, consensus scaling, and the use of RDMA and InfiniBand networking. Solayer provides developer-facing resources including documentation, an explorer and an ecosystem program for teams building on the chain.
On top of the infrastructure layer, Solayer runs several consumer and trading products. Margin Trade is a perpetual DEX on Solana that supports spot and perpetual trading of crypto, equities and commodities from a single margin account, using a central limit order book, approximately 400ms settlement finality, a unified cross-asset portfolio and a fair auto-deleveraging mechanism; listed markets include major crypto pairs alongside equity and commodity references such as NVDA, TSLA, GOOGL, MSFT, TSM, ASML, gold and silver. Solayer Pay is a crypto-native Visa card, issued in virtual and physical formats, that lets users spend stablecoins from their wallet anywhere Visa is accepted, with more than 45,000 cardholders reported. Staking products include sSOL and native Solana staking through the company's Mega Validator, an institutional-grade, hardware-optimized Solana validator, and sUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin advertised at 9.5% yield backed by U.S. Treasury Bills and available on Solana, Base and Solayer Chain.
