SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Solayer recently breached the 300,000+ TPS ceiling with <50ms in transaction finality for our devnet, on the path to our theoretical 1m+ TPS throughput goal. The future of decentralized networks should work as seamlessly as existing network infrastructure for our increasingly digitalized financial world, so Solayer is excited to share our thoughts and ideas for a future where real-time blockchain applications can truly exist with the growth of high throughput, near-instant finality blockchains such as our InfiniSVM.

We have developed four theses that showcase the new limits of what is possible to be built for the future of real-time blockchains like InfiniSVM. Below are some ideas that we at Solayer Labs are excited to see built on our most performant, fastest throughput, instant finality chain yet.

A word from Hack VC

Hack VC's Perspective^¹Hack VC has long believed that the next wave of Web3 adoption will be unlocked by scalable, performant blockchains that make entirely new categories of applications possible. Solayer embodies this vision. Its InfiniSVM architecture demonstrates that blockspace can finally operate at the scale of mainstream financial markets, payments networks, and even the trillions of autonomous AI agents we expect to see in the coming decade.

What excites us most is not only the technical milestone of breaking through 300,000 TPS with <50ms finality, but also the new design space this opens up for founders. Real-time markets, streaming payments, agentic AI economies, and live social applications have all been bottlenecked by blockchains that couldn't keep up. With Solayer, these use cases that were once theoretical now become buildable realities.

This aligns directly with the broad Hack VC thesis that infrastructure innovation drives the entire ecosystem forward. By pushing the limits of throughput and latency, Solayer isn't just another high-performance chain - it's a platform for the next generation of applications that blur the line between traditional financial rails, decentralized protocols, and AI-driven networks. We are proud to back Solayer as it leads the race to make real-time blockchains possible.

Real-Time Markets as Software

We believe that with our InfiniSVM hardware-accelerated SVM and parallel execution, we are able to turn markets into web-native software primitives that run at millisecond - or even microsecond - speed finality, allowing apps to become interactive through entirely on-chain activity. This shifts the paradigm such that now order books, derivatives, synthetics, auctions, FX, prediction, insurance, and RWAs are able to run at speeds where founders can build decentralized, high-frequency, and institutional-grade capital markets directly on-chain.

Here are specific ideas that are now enabled by the InfiniSVM:

Build a millisecond-matching CLOB DEX for high-frequency on-chain trading at global scale on InfiniSVM.
Build a CLMM DEX integrated with other DEX aggregators and launchpads as an anchor protocol for the DeFi ecosystem.
Launch a real-time derivatives venue with instant margin, continuous risk checks, and on-chain clearing.
Operate an atomic cross-chain arbitrage network that routes and settles spreads in milliseconds.
Launch a dynamic insurance exchange with real-time premiums and instant parametric payouts.
Tokenize equities and bonds with instant settlement and transparent order flow on a public ledger.
Operate a commodities DEX for oil, metals, and agriculture exposures with 24/7 programmable settlement.
Scale prediction markets with burst-proof trading and immediate event resolution.
Host an on-chain strategy fund marketplace for transparent, active-turnover strategies.
Provide timed atomic settlement that executes transactions at exact timestamps with SLAs.
Power a real-time on-chain auction house resilient to bid surges and last-second snipes.
Offer MEV-resistant sequencing as a service to rollups and apps for fair ordering at scale.
Stream tick-level oracle data directly on-chain to unlock true real-time DeFi.
Ship a rapid yield rebalancer that pivots funds minute-by-minute across pools for continuous optimization.
Build an on-chain prime brokerage with margin, custody, and leverage for funds and institutions.
Operate a fully on-chain casino suite with provable randomness and massive concurrency.

Streaming Economy

With InfiniSVM's throughput high enough to price and settle continuously faster than even Visa, we believe that transactions can now be truly streamed instead, allowing payroll by the second, micro-commerce at $0.001 per transaction, on-chain point-of-sale (POS), and instant cross-border remittance. This would all be composable with stable rails like sUSD (our stablecoin) and spendable via our Emerald Card (Visa + Apple/Google Pay).

Here are specific ideas that are now enabled by the InfiniSVM:

Offer live credit-scored under-collateralized lending that updates limits from streaming on-chain signals.
Run micro-loans with per-minute streaming repayments to reduce defaults and smooth cash flow.
Power an on-chain 'Buy Now Pay Later' that pays merchants instantly and schedules user installments.
Run an on-chain credit card network issuing crypto credit lines with instant merchant settlement.
Run a global micropayments rail for $0.001 pay-per-use actions across content, tools, and services.
Provide a money-streaming engine for payroll, SaaS, and metered services that pays by the second.
Launch a micro-task gig marketplace with instant on-chain payouts and escrowless fulfillment.
Deliver an on-chain POS for retailers with tap-to-pay stablecoin and instant finality at checkout.
Power crypto subscriptions and recurring billing at massive, synchronized scale.
Offer an AI-guided remittance app for chat-based cross-border sends that settle in seconds.
Provide real-time tax and compliance splitters that allocate every sale automatically on-chain.
Aggregate global on/off-ramps for fiat to crypto conversion with instant settlement.
Offer a Web3 paywall/ad toggle where users choose cents-level payments or provable ad attention.
Create a pay-per-API marketplace with metered calls, instant access, and programmable entitlements.
Run live crowdfunding with donation streams that can be used immediately and transparently.
Serve as an e-commerce settlement layer splitting funds to all parties (affiliates) at checkout.
Franchise decentralized remittance liquidity hubs with community-owned local cash rails.
Run mutual-aid crowd insurance with transparent pools and immediate relief payouts.
Ship a multi-currency savings app with instant FX toggles and programmable yield routes.

Agentic AI

As AI agents control wallets and act autonomously on behalf of users, this creates an agentic economy that is able to be run on blockchains. With a chain performant enough that can transact, coordinate, and settle in loop, the InfiniSVM is able to provide the economic and transaction rails for agents to trade, provision compute/data, price risk, enforce policies, and manage treasuries, while human networks layer in privacy-preserving proof-of-personhood to keep systems Sybil-resistant.

Here are specific ideas that are now enabled by the InfiniSVM:

DeFi, Payments, & Money

Create an on-chain algorithmic-bot marketplace where users allocate capital to verifiable strategies.
Offer an AI robo-treasury for DAOs that rebalances continuously and programmatically on-chain.
Enable IoT machine-to-machine payments so devices transact autonomously and continuously.
Orchestrate machine payroll for AI/robots with continuous payments and budget rules.
Host a bot battle arena platform where HFT agents compete transparently under fair on-chain rules.
Enable pay-per-crawl, enabling the pay-per-click model for agents

AI & Analytics

Provide AI-powered fraud/AML that flags and blocks suspect flows as they happen.
Build a decentralized AI compute grid with micropay-per-GPU-second and verifiable work.
Ship a personal AI wealth agent that micromanages portfolios, bills, and cash flows autonomously.
Serve a credit-risk oracle using AI to score wallets continuously from live on-chain signals.
Operate an AI-tuned AMM/LP layer with dynamic fees and liquidity that adapts every block.
Run an NFT appraisal oracle with real-time pricing, rarity, and risk scoring.
Launch autonomous AI DAOs and agents that operate budgets and policies on-chain.
Curate an AI strategy app store that generates, tests, and deploys trading strategies continuously.
Orchestrate an AI-optimized energy grid with dynamic pricing and micro-settlement.

Real-Time Social Graphs

When blockspace and finality aren't bottlenecks, social apps become truly live, allowing feeds, messaging, micro-tipping, creator splits, curation, governance, and events to operate with immediate settlement and portable identity. Live socials on a blockchain with provable identity unlocks decentralized creator economies and social streaming apps previously unthinkable, now made possible with InfiniSVM.

Here are specific ideas that are now enabled by the InfiniSVM:

Social & Real-Time Apps

Launch an on-chain X where posts and interactions settle instantly on a public, portable graph.
Provide chain-native encrypted messaging with built-in tips, receipts, and programmable automations.
Build video sharing with live micro-tipping and instant creator payouts tied to view events.
Offer a staked dating app that uses micro-stakes and proofs to reduce spam and ghosting.
Provide a unified on-chain reputation and identity layer with portable, composable credentials.
