Solayer has officially launched a strategic investment initiative amounting to $35 million, aimed at supporting projects built on the infiniSVM blockchain. This new fund will focus on high-throughput, real-time onchain applications that exhibit strong revenue models and solid technical foundations. With this initiative, Solayer seeks to enhance the capabilities of onchain financial applications, which have historically faced limitations due to the performance constraints of traditional blockchain infrastructure.
The initiative will primarily invest in early- and growth-stage teams developing applications that require low latency and high execution performance. The fund will specifically prioritize four key sectors: decentralized finance (DeFi), consumer applications, payment systems, and artificial intelligence-driven platforms that facilitate real-time blockchain transactions.
According to the company, infiniSVM has achieved impressive performance metrics, processing over 330,000 transactions per second with an average finality time of approximately 400 milliseconds. These capabilities allow for innovative financial applications that were previously unfeasible on legacy blockchains.
“Our focus is simple: back strong technical founders who are solving real problems and building businesses with durable fundamentals,” stated Jason Li, Co-Founder of Solayer. “We’re prioritizing revenue-generating, high-performance applications over short-term narratives or hype-driven startups.”
Building on Success with Solayer Accel
This new ecosystem fund builds upon Solayer Accel, the company’s engineering-focused accelerator program designed to nurture early-stage founders working with infiniSVM. The initial cohort of Solayer Accel has successfully onboarded three innovative projects currently in development.
One of these projects is buff.trade, an AI-powered trading platform where autonomous agents execute tokenized trading strategies. The performance of each agent directly impacts its associated token’s value, creating a feedback loop between execution quality and onchain economics.
Another project, DoxX, features a hardware-accelerated MetaDEX with a dual-engine architecture, providing institutional-grade trade execution fully onchain. This aims to enhance advanced trading and market-making workflows.
Lastly, Spout Finance is focusing on tokenizing traditional financial assets, such as U.S. bonds and ETFs, into fully backed onchain assets. This platform aims to facilitate compliant private lending and infrastructure for credit markets.
Through this ecosystem fund, Solayer plans to integrate capital deployment with comprehensive technical support, infrastructure access, and market resources. This approach is intended to accelerate the adoption of applications within the infiniSVM ecosystem, reinforcing its position as a foundational layer for developers focused on performance and sustainable growth.
About Solayer
Solayer is the driving force behind infiniSVM, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine. InfiniSVM is designed for real-time, high-throughput onchain applications, achieving over 330,000 transactions per second and around 400 milliseconds of finality while utilizing SOL for gas fees. This network enables developers to create performance-critical decentralized systems without compromising composability or execution speed.
With the launch of this fund, Solayer aims to solidify its role in fostering innovation and facilitating the growth of next-generation blockchain applications.
