Solayer has announced a strategic investment initiative worth $35 million aimed at supporting projects built on its high-performance blockchain, infiniSVM. This fund is designed to target high-throughput, real-time onchain applications that possess robust revenue models and technical foundations.
The new initiative follows the success of Solayer Accel, the company’s accelerator program, which focuses on nurturing early-stage founders. The ecosystem fund will allocate capital to both early- and growth-stage teams developing applications that are optimized for onchain use. These applications will require low latency, high execution performance, and the capability for continuous transaction processing.
Among the four primary areas of focus for the fund are decentralized finance (DeFi), consumer applications, payments, and artificial intelligence-driven systems that facilitate real-time blockchain transactions. The infiniSVM platform has demonstrated impressive capabilities, achieving over 330,000 transactions per second and approximately 400 milliseconds of finality. These metrics allow for the creation of financial applications that previously faced limitations due to the performance constraints of older blockchain infrastructure.
“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. He emphasized the initiative’s commitment to prioritizing revenue-generating, high-performance applications rather than short-lived trends or hype-driven startups.
Through the ecosystem fund, Solayer aims to merge capital deployment with hands-on technical support, infrastructure access, and marketing resources. This approach seeks to enhance the adoption and functionality of the infiniSVM ecosystem, establishing it as a foundational layer for developers focused on performance and scalability.
The fund builds on the accomplishments of the Solayer Accel program, which has already onboarded three notable projects. These include buff.trade, an AI-powered trading platform that utilizes autonomous AI agents to execute tokenized trading strategies. The performance of each agent directly impacts the value of its associated token, creating a feedback loop between execution quality and onchain economics.
Another project, DoxX, is a hardware-accelerated MetaDEX designed to deliver institutional-grade, deterministic trade execution entirely on-chain. This platform targets advanced trading and market-making workflows, aiming to enhance efficiency in the trading environment.
Additionally, Spout Finance focuses on tokenizing traditional financial assets such as U.S. bonds, ETFs, and equities. This initiative aims to create KYC-gated, fully-backed onchain assets, facilitating compliant private lending and credit market infrastructure.
By aligning capital, infrastructure, and ecosystem support, Solayer is positioning infiniSVM as a key player for builders committed to sustainable growth. The investments from the $35 million fund are expected to accelerate innovation and adoption within the blockchain space, supporting the development of applications that can thrive in a competitive landscape.
About Solayer: Solayer is the team behind infiniSVM, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine. The platform is specifically designed for real-time, high-throughput onchain applications, delivering over 330,000 TPS and around 400ms finality while using SOL as gas. This architecture enables developers to create performance-critical decentralized systems without compromising on composability or execution speed.
