Solayer launches breakthrough InfiniSVM Devnet, peak TPS reaches 340,000+

Recently, Solayer launched the InfiniSVM Devnet test network and showcased an impressive peak performance of over 340,000 TPS. This groundbreaking advancement is particularly noteworthy in the current development of blockchain technology, especially compared to certain ecosystems that are still hovering around 4,000 TPS, where users suffer from transaction failures. Solayer's solution is not an incremental improvement, but a qualitative leap.

The technology support behind this amazing performance mainly comes from the following aspects:

First of all, InfiniSVM recognizes the new trend in industry development: pure software optimization has approached a bottleneck, and hardware acceleration has become the breakthrough point. In the past few years, the performance improvement of blockchain has mainly relied on software architecture innovation, from early improvements in consensus mechanisms to recent multi-layer architectures. However, this path is becoming increasingly narrow. Most high-performance chains find it difficult to break through the limit of tens of thousands of TPS, and the fundamental reason lies in the physical bottleneck of general-purpose hardware architectures.

InfiniSVM adopts RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) hardware acceleration technology, which essentially bypasses the traditional bottleneck of the CPU and enables direct memory-level communication between nodes. At the same time, it introduces a multi-executor parallel processing model and SDN (Software Defined Networking) real-time traffic optimization, seeking breakthroughs from the hardware level, representing an important shift in the development of the industry.

Secondly, InfiniSVM is fully compatible with a well-known virtual machine, which significantly reduces the migration costs for developers. For developers who have been deeply engaged in this ecosystem, migrating to InfiniSVM requires almost only a change of the RPC endpoint. This compatibility design has significant commercial value and is expected to open up new application scenarios such as high-frequency algorithm trading and real-time game state synchronization.

In addition, InfiniSVM adopts a hybrid POAS consensus model that seeks to balance performance and decentralization. Daily transactions are processed quickly through a network of validators, and in the event of disputes, a certain mainnet serves as the final arbitration. This design of "fast track + insurance mechanism" is quite pragmatic. Although hardware acceleration solutions may raise the operational threshold for nodes, by leveraging a mature decentralized network as the ultimate security guarantee, InfiniSVM cleverly layers the handling of "performance" and "security" needs.

It should be noted that the current Devnet is still in the internal testing phase, and the network status and data may be unstable, indicating that there is still some distance to a formal production environment. Especially when facing extreme pressure of over 1 million TPS, there are still many engineering challenges that need to be overcome.

Overall, InfiniSVM represents an important development direction for blockchain infrastructure - shifting from software optimization to hardware acceleration, and from theoretical innovation to engineering implementation. The advantage of Solayer lies in its forward-looking technology path selection, which may open up new possibilities for enhancing blockchain performance.
