# Solayer > The Fastest Network Hardware Accelerated Solayer enhances decentralized systems' security and scalability using Solana blockchain, with a restaking network and shared validator network. Solayer is a project focused on building a native restaking network on the Solana blockchain. It aims to enhance the security and scalability of decentralized systems by utilizing Solana's economic security and premium execution. Solayer's architecture includes a restaking network, a shared validator network, a decentralized sequencer, permissioned public mempools, MEV strategies, support for localized state management, and deep DeFi integration, enabling diverse financial interactions within decentralized systems. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer ## Products - [Solayer Stake](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): Solayer Stake is a restaking network built on Solana that allows users to restake SOL and liquid staking tokens to secure additional layers and applications. It features a native restaking token called sSOL and a dashboard for deposits, withdrawals, and reward tracking. Solayer aims to enhance Solana's scalability by extending base-layer security to parallel networks and custom applications. The protocol provides tools for developers to integrate restaking into their projects, focusing on shared security (Liquid Staking, Live, Main Product) - [Solayer Emerald Card](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): Solayer Emerald Card implements direct cryptocurrency spending through on-chain transaction processing, enabling global purchases with digital currencies and ATM access. The system integrates with digital wallets while providing optional yield from sUSD deposits. (Card, Live) - [InfiniSVM Devnet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): InfiniSVM Devnet is a live hardware-accelerated blockchain achieving 340k+ TPS (targeting 1M+) with ultra-low latency and full Solana VM compatibility. Built on InfiniBand RDMA, SDN, and multi-executor architecture with hybrid POAS consensus, it enables developers to test and deploy high-throughput dApps in a sandboxed environment while maintaining atomic state transitions and strong composability across distributed microservices. (L1, Live) - [InfiniSVM Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): InfiniSVM Explorer is a block explorer tool for the Solayer InfiniSVM blockchain, enabling users to inspect transactions, accounts, blocks, and cluster statistics. The explorer provides real-time monitoring of network performance including TPS metrics, slot information, and transaction history across mainnet and devnet environments. (Block Explorer, Live) ## Assets - [sSOL (sSOL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): sSOL is a liquid staking token representing staked SOL or liquid staking tokens on Solayer. It is used to earn restaking rewards by securing additional services within the Solana ecosystem and unlocks DeFi use cases such as liquidity provisioning, collateral, and spot trading. It serves as the universal liquidity layer for decentralized applications and liquid restaking tokens on Solayer, with each unit representing blockspace lent towards applications to secure network bandwidth. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs)) - [Solayer USD (sUSD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): sUSD is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Solayer and backed by U.S. Treasury Bills. It is used for payments and as collateral in DeFi applications on Solana, with holders earning yield from the underlying T-bill reserves. The token implements Solana's interest-bearing extension, which automatically increases the balance over time by adjusting a multiplier rather than transferring new tokens, allowing sUSD to generate returns while maintaining its dollar peg. (Stablecoin) - [Solayer (LAYER)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solayer): LAYER is the governance token of Solayer, a restaking protocol on Solana. It is used to vote on protocol upgrades and treasury allocation. The protocol allows users to restake their staked SOL to provide economic security to additional applications and services, enabling them to earn extra yield while supporting the broader Solana ecosystem.
