The Native Interconnect for Every SVM Chain

Chains built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) share a powerful, common core architecture. However, they've historically depended on multichain bridges that fail to deliver the speed, security, and composability required for serious on-chain applications. 

Introducing sBridge

sBridge is purpose-built for ultra-low latency, high throughput, and the deterministic state model inherent in SVM chains. No EVM translation layers, no inflated fees, just native PDA proofs and hardware-backed ED25519 signatures moving data and value at chain speed.

Real-world Impact

Imagine executing seamless real-time liquidity transfers between Solana and InfiniSVM or performing cross-chain arbitrage in milliseconds rather than waiting for block confirmations. With sBridge, you can now compose multi-leg transactions, like initiating a swap on Solayer and depositing into a Solana liquidity pool, all within a single user signature.

InfiniSVM is already built as the ideal execution layer for high-frequency trading, on-chain payments, and performance-critical applications. sBridge enhances this by connecting seamlessly to Solana’s rich liquidity and active user community, without developers needing to rewrite logic or compromise performance.

Why Traditional Bridges Fall Short

Existing multichain bridges aim for broad compatibility, forcing compromises that result in higher risks, latency, and costs. Over $2.7B has been lost to bridge exploits since 2021. sBridge shifts this paradigm by exclusively serving SVM chains, reducing trust assumptions, lowering fees, and ensuring predictable, deterministic behavior.

Architecture Behind sBridge

sBridge utilizes a secure three-layer architecture:

Layer

What happens

Why it matters

1.  Origin Chain

User signs bridgeAsset / crossChainCall; a deterministic PDA is created as a proof‑of‑intent

Exactly‑once semantics start here

2. Guardian Network (Off‑Chain)

Guardians pull transactions via RPC, validate return‑data, sign ED25519 hashes; rotating leader aggregates multi‑sig

Crash‑resilient, hardware‑secured, automatic fail‑over

3. Destination Chain

Bridge program verifies multi‑sig with Solana precompile, checks bridge‑proof PDA, then releases or mints assets / executes calldata

Double‑spend impossible; replay protected

Performance (Devnet Metrics)

What Sets sBridge Apart?

  • Security by Design:

    • Multi‑sig guardian quorum with hardware‑backed keys

    • On‑chain PDA replay protection ensures transactions are secure

    • First bridge built from the ground up by dedicated blockchain security team, Fuzzland

  • Capital Efficiency:

    • Prioritizes canonical (original) assets over wrapped versions wherever possible

    • Minimal transaction fees with no rent‑seeking

  • Database-less Design:

    • Eliminates traditional database vulnerabilities

    • Stateless operation ensures resilience, scalability, and operational efficiency

  • Universal Token Bridging:

    • Supports bridging any token

    • Automatically creates secure, wrapped token versions if canonical versions don’t exist

Supported by Leading SVM Builders & Chains

A bridge for all SVMs only works when the ecosystem moves together. With SOON and Sonic supporting from day one, sBridge launches as the shared, native rail that lets liquidity and applications travel across SVM chains without EVM detours. The result is a connected, high-performance SVM network rather than a set of silos.

“For SOON, the promise of the sBridge isn’t just faster cross-chain transfers — it’s the ability to treat every SVM chain as if it were one unified environment. When your users can deploy and interact across liquidity hubs without feeling the seams, you stop thinking in terms of ‘chains’ and start thinking in terms of pure, unbounded composability.” — Joanna Zeng, Co-Founder of SOON

For Sonic, that extends that to the movement of users, apps, and liquidity.

“Sonic is excited to be an active participant in the Solayer Bridge network, helping connect the growing ecosystem of SVM-powered chains. This collaboration is more than just a technical integration - it’s a step toward a truly unified SVM network where liquidity, applications, and users can move seamlessly across chains. 

We see this as a big step towards a multi-SVM future, alongside other leading SVM projects. In this initiative and future ones, we’re laying the foundation for a more composable, performant, and collaborative SVM blockchain environment.” — Chris Zhu, CEO of Sonic

Try It Now on InfiniSVM Devnet

Getting started with sBridge is simple:

  • Step 1: Install CLI via npm install -g @infini/cli.

  • Step 2: Connect to devnet using infini config set cluster devnet.

  • Step 3: Start bridging SOL ↔ SOLR or test cross-chain calls immediately.

  • Community: Engage with the team in the #bridge-alpha channel on Discord.

Security & Audits

Security is paramount for high-performance cross-chain infrastructure. sBridge is uniquely positioned as the first bridge created by a dedicated blockchain security team. 

The Fuzzland team has rigorously designed and internally audited every component, leveraging advanced fuzzing, penetration testing, and formal verification methods. Central to this robust security model is our Guardian Network, initially operating under a secure 5-of-7 quorum, with clear plans to further decentralize into a resilient 7-of-11 community validator set by mainnet. 

Third-party security audits are planned prior to mainnet launch to further validate our stringent security standards. 

What's Next?

sBridge is already operational on Devnet. Guardian decentralization and mainnet launch are targeted for Q4 2024. Follow us on X and join our community for upcoming benchmarks, mainnet announcements, and validator opportunities.
