Gm from the basedment:

Solayer's core focus is on infinitely scaling the SVM.

In 2024, with more than $500 million staked, over 200,000 active users, and bluechip AVS partners, we have become the leading restaking platform for enhancing internal Solana applications via stake-weighted quality of service.

In 2025, we are doubling down our thesis, introducing the concept of hardware offloading of blockchain into programmable hardware chips that is infinitely scalable – presenting the first 1MM TPS network in the world, InfiniSVM.

$LAYER - Connecting the Solayer Ecosystem

Infrastructure on the bottom. Vertical stack on the top.

Our team is doing more than just delivering the most scalable infrastructure through InfiniSVM. We're building a tightly integrated suite of vertical products within our own ecosystem. sSOL, sUSD, and our Emerald Card are only the beginning, with a number of other products in the pipeline being tested at the speed of light with InfiniSVM.

Underpinning all of this is $LAYER, which is both the native token for InfiniSVM as well as the governance token for Solayer’s protocol suites.

Token Distribution

To ensure broad decentralization, $LAYER is being distributed through both the community sale of our Emerald Card and our genesis airdrop for early adopters.

The max supply of $LAYER will be 1,000,000,000 tokens, distributed across three main categories, with an initial circulating supply of 220,000,000 $LAYER:

Community & Ecosystem [51.23%]

• 34.23% is for the continued R&D, developer program, and ecosystem growth, and other user activities

• 14% is for community events/incentives [12% is reserved for Genesis Drop, which includes rewarding early adopters and other initial claim activities]

• 3% is distributed via the Emerald Card community sale

Core Contributors

• 17.11% for core contributors and advisors

Investors

• 16.66% has been sold to investors

Foundation

• 15% is allocated to the Solayer Foundation to support our vertical product expansion and network development

LAYER Vesting Schedule

$LAYER tokens will be emitted over time. Vesting schedule follows the below:

• Genesis Drop: fully unvested at launch

• Emerald Card Community Sale: fully unvested at launch

• Community incentives: linearly vested for 6 months

• Community and Ecosystem: vested every 3 months over 4 years

• Foundation: vested every 3 months over 4 years

• Team & Advisors: 1 year cliff, 3 years linear vesting

• Investors: 1 year cliff, 2 years linear vesting

Token Design

$LAYER has utility across the entire Solayer ecosystem. At launch the utility will be centered on governance, with a Network-specific utility becoming available with InfiniSVM, and future protocol-level utility with our incoming vertical product suites.

• Governance [current]

  • Protocol upgrades, such as adding supported assets

  • Key ecosystem initiatives, such as grants

• Participate in Proof of Stake consensus for Decentralized Verification to earn block rewards [future, subject to design change]

  • By working to verify proofs securing Solayer, verifiers get rewarded with the Solayer token

• Gas token to transact on the Solayer network [future, subject to design change]
  
  

$LAYER Genesis Drop

The second LAYER distribution is for existing community members who’ve been with us since launching in 2024.

Solayer is reserving 12% total for Solayer community members, integration partners, and liquidity providers as recognition of bootstrapping an ecosystem, and those who will continue our journey in 2025:

• Solayer sSOL and sUSD holders

• Users that have delegated sSOL to AVS partners

• Users that have deposited sSOL or sUSD in partnered DeFi protocols

• Users that have deposited whitelisted LSTs on Solayer

• Users that have deposited with Solayer through partner and wallet campaigns

• Other claim initiatives

Vesting

• For early and eligible community members, genesis drop is immediately unlocked at launch, with additional $LAYER claimable over the next 6 months by Epoch

A Grassroots Movement for Hardware-Acceleration

With over 250,000 unique holders eligible at launch, we’re forging a path for hardware acceleration in blockchain. Whether it’s powering InfiniSVM or governing protocol-level products, $LAYER is an economic alignment force, s we move into the next phase of building an infinitely scalable, hardware-accelerated blockchain, $LAYER ties it all together.
