Solayer has opened its Devnet to the public, marking the first step in launching InfiniSVM—an infinitely scalable, hardware-accelerated blockchain.

InfiniSVM Overview

InfiniSVM brings the compatibility of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to a custom hardware-accelerated architecture capable of processing over 1 million transactions per second. With sub-second confirmation times and ultra-low latency, it is designed as the fastest general-purpose execution layer for on-chain finance, starting from first principles to meet the needs of global-scale applications.

Devnet is our publicly available early-stage testbed. Developers can explore, build, and test our current developments here. Users can experience the potential of hardware-accelerated blockchain, and together we will begin stress-testing the foundation of this new financial internet.

Early Sandbox for Developers

Devnet is the initial version of our released network for public exploration. For developers, it is an opportunity to deploy applications using familiar Solana tools. RPC and API endpoints can be accessed at devnet-rpc.solayer.org, while the LAYER token faucet, blockchain explorer, and decentralized exchange (DEX) are also live.

For users, this is a place to experiment with Devnet-only applications, including token exchange via the native DEX interface.

We encourage developers to actively engage with Devnet. Deploy contracts, simulate production loads, find edge cases, report bugs. Everything in Devnet is in an early stage, but fully operational. We will continue to optimize performance, refine the network, and reset chain state when necessary during the Devnet phase. For full details, please see here.

Future Outlook

In the Devnet benchmark environment, InfiniSVM has been able to stably process over 250,000 TPS, with the goal of achieving 1 million+ TPS after eliminating bottlenecks. The network is designed for horizontal scalability, including:

· Hardware Offload for Dedicated Compute and Storage Clusters

· Transaction Parallel Execution with Speculative Preprocessing

· Sub-second Confirmation Time

Whatever you're building, InfiniSVM is designed to meet the needs of real-time, global-scale applications.

Support for Solana Ecosystem Developers

InfiniSVM is fully compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), providing developers already building in the SVM ecosystem with a faster, more scalable network without the need to redesign their applications.

· Deploy existing Solana programs with little to no code changes

· Use familiar tools: Solana CLI, Web3.js, Anchor, and more

· Maintain existing development workflows while unlocking significantly improved throughput and low latency

docs.solayer.org provides everything you need to get started, including faucets, RPC endpoints, and blockchain explorers.

Technical Support and Weekly Office Hours

To support the growing InfiniSVM developer community, the Solayer engineering team will regularly hold office hours on Discord to address technical questions, review integrations, and help teams make the most of the network.

You can join our builders Telegram to interact with the Solayer engineering team and get help with any questions.

Whether you're debugging smart contracts, testing throughput, or exploring architecture decisions, our engineers will help you uncover the potential InfiniSVM has for your application.

Global Execution Layer for the Open Internet

Until now, throughput limits, high latency, and fragmented execution environments have restricted what can be built on blockchain.

InfiniSVM changes this landscape by introducing a brand-new execution layer, built from the ground up, compatible with SVM, and featuring native hardware acceleration to support the next generation of financial infrastructure.

The Devnet is just the beginning.
