Solayer launches InfiniSVM Devnet: peak throughput reaches 340,000 TPS

Solayer recently launched the InfiniSVM Devnet, with initial tests showing its peak throughput can reach over 340,000 TPS. This figure is impressive, especially considering other ecosystems are still striving to improve performance. So, where exactly do the advantages of InfiniSVM come from?

First, InfiniSVM has chosen a hardware-accelerated technical route. As pure software optimization solutions gradually approach their limits, hardware acceleration has become key to breaking through performance bottlenecks. In the past few years, improvements in blockchain performance have mainly relied on architectural innovations, such as from UTXO to account models, and from PoW to PoS, among others. However, such software-level optimizations have struggled to break through the threshold of tens of thousands of TPS.

InfiniSVM uses RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) technology to bypass the traditional bottleneck of the CPU, achieving direct memory-level communication between nodes. At the same time, it introduces a multi-executor parallel processing model and combines with SDN (Software Defined Networking) for real-time traffic optimization. These hardware-level innovations open up new possibilities for performance enhancement.

How does Solayer achieve 340,000 TPS with RDMA under hardware support?

Secondly, InfiniSVM is fully compatible with specific virtual machines, which means existing developers only need to change the RPC endpoint to migrate. This compatibility design has significant commercial value. The fast confirmation time of InfiniSVM (0.01 seconds) brings breakthrough opportunities for many application scenarios, such as real-time game state synchronization, millisecond-level settlement for DEX, and high-frequency automated trading for AI Agents.

Thirdly, InfiniSVM adopts a hybrid POAS consensus model, attempting to strike a balance between performance and decentralization. Daily transactions are processed quickly by a network of validators, while disputes or anomalies are ultimately arbitrated by the main network. This design concept of "fast lane + insurance mechanism" is quite pragmatic.

However, it is important to note that hardware acceleration solutions may raise the operational threshold for nodes. While RDMA and InfiniBand technologies offer strong performance, they also increase costs and technical complexity, which may lead to a tendency for validation node networks to become centralized. To address this, InfiniSVM adopts a layered processing strategy: it takes responsibility for extreme performance, while relying on a mature decentralized network as the ultimate security guarantee.

Currently, InfiniSVM Devnet is still in the internal testing phase and is still some distance away from being production-ready. The network status may reset from time to time, and data may experience intermittent instability. 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 choice, with real-time TPS nearing 100,000, showcasing its potential.
