What is Solayer?
Origins and distribution
Solayer developed Solana restaking products including sSOL and sUSD before introducing LAYER. Its genesis claim programme opened in February 2025. The original allocation contains one billion tokens. Community and ecosystem uses account for 51.23% of that allocation. Contributors receive 17.11%, investors 16.66% and the foundation 15%. Contributor and investor releases follow cliff and vesting schedules. The token’s initial governance role includes protocol decisions and grants.
Execution and staking development
Solayer’s later infrastructure direction uses a hardware-accelerated Solana Virtual Machine. Multiple executors and high-speed networking form part of the proposed architecture. These mechanisms target faster transaction processing. Their stated performance objectives should be separated from demonstrated production results. The project also describes token-based validator delegation. Its current staking documentation labels that programme prelaunch. Delegation, reward claiming and unstaking remain planned operations in that document. Administrative validator admission is part of the design. The original token allocation therefore does not establish that every planned staking mechanism is already available.
