Solayer Launches $35 Million Fund to Scale High-Throughput Apps on infiniSVM

New updates have been reported about Solayer.

Solayer has launched a $35 million strategic ecosystem fund to finance projects building directly on its high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, infiniSVM, in a bid to accelerate adoption of real-time, revenue-generating onchain applications. The capital will target both early- and growth-stage teams developing products that require low latency, high throughput, and continuous transaction processing, with a particular focus on DeFi, consumer applications, payments, and AI-driven systems that execute blockchain transactions in real time. By concentrating on use cases where speed and near-instant finality unlock new economic models, Solayer aims to position infiniSVM as core infrastructure for performance-sensitive financial and transactional workloads. InfiniSVM, which is compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine and uses SOL for gas, has demonstrated more than 330,000 transactions per second and approximately 400 milliseconds of finality, performance that could expand the range of viable onchain financial products relative to legacy blockchain architectures.

The new fund extends Solayer’s strategy initiated with Solayer Accel, its engineering-led accelerator designed to incubate technical founders building directly on infiniSVM. The initial accelerator cohort onboarded three projects now developing advanced financial applications on the network: buff.trade, an AI-powered trading platform where autonomous agents execute tokenized strategies whose onchain value is tied to real trading performance; DoxX, a hardware-accelerated MetaDEX built for institutional-grade, deterministic execution of sophisticated trading and market-making workflows; and Spout Finance, which tokenizes traditional assets such as U.S. bonds, ETFs, and equities into KYC-gated, fully backed onchain instruments to support compliant lending and credit markets. Co-founder Jason Li emphasized that Solayer will prioritize technically strong, fundamentally sound, revenue-focused businesses over hype-driven ventures, combining capital with hands-on engineering support, infrastructure access, and go-to-market resources. Strategically, the initiative is designed to deepen the infiniSVM ecosystem, attract institutional and advanced users to high-throughput blockchain applications, and reinforce Solayer’s position as a foundational platform for scalable, real-time onchain finance and commerce.
