What is the Solayer (LAYER) coin?

Solayer is a blockchain infrastructure project developing InfiniSVM, a hardware-accelerated network architecture that moves blockchain components onto programmable chips and targets throughput above 1,000,000 TPS. The project launched in 2024 as a restaking and liquidity-staking protocol on Solana, built around sSOL and sUSD. LAYER is the native governance token, issued on February 11, 2025 as a Solana SPL token. Solayer also builds Solayer Pay and the Emerald Card for payments and spending.

Is Solayer a Layer 2 for Solana?

No. Solayer is not a Solana Layer 2; the team describes InfiniSVM as a standalone, hardware-accelerated SVM Layer 1 blockchain. The Layer 2 label appears in older venue descriptions and reflects Solayer's origin as a Solana restaking protocol, which remains its main classification on DropsTab alongside Solana Ecosystem, DeFi, and Neobank categories.

What is LAYER's total supply and tokenomics?

LAYER has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, per DropsTab data, with no inflationary mint beyond scheduled unlocks. The Solayer Foundation allocation from February 6, 2025 distributes the supply as follows: R&D and Ecosystem Growth 34.23%, Core Contributors and Advisors 17.11%, Investors 16.66%, Foundation 15%, Community Incentives 14%, and the Emerald Card Community Sale 3%. Insiders hold a concentrated share: Investors and Core Contributors combined control 33.77% of total supply.

How does the LAYER unlock schedule affect sell pressure?

Solayer's insider allocations carried a 12-month vesting cliff that expired on February 11, 2026. After the cliff, Investor tokens (16.66% of supply) unlock linearly over two years, to roughly February 2028, and Core Contributor tokens (17.11%) unlock linearly over three years, to roughly February 2029. These insider unlocks run on top of the four-year ecosystem and Foundation tranches. The overlap concentrates sell pressure in the 2026 to 2029 window.

Who backed Solayer and how much did it raise?

Per DropsTab fundraising data, Solayer raised $12M in a seed round on August 27, 2024 at an $80M pre-valuation, led by Polychain Capital with Hack VC as co-lead. Participants included YZi Labs (previously Binance Labs), Wormhole, Race Capital, Big Brain Holdings, and Maelstrom. An earlier angel round on July 1, 2024 included Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana's co-founder, and Sandeep Nailwal. A community sale on Buidlpad on January 16, 2025 raised $10.5M at $0.35 per token.

What does Solayer's funding signal about project maturity?

The backer mix combines tier-1 venture capital with direct Solana-ecosystem endorsement. Polychain Capital led the seed round, YZi Labs participated in two separate rounds, and Anatoly Yakovenko's angel investment ties Solayer to Solana's founding team. The $350M pre-valuation at the January 2025 community sale, up from $80M six months earlier, shows investors repriced Solayer as core infrastructure before the token generation event.

How did the Solayer Genesis Drop airdrop work?

The Solayer Genesis Drop ran from February 11 to March 4, 2025, distributing LAYER to eligible sSOL and sUSD holders and partner communities. The airdrop marked LAYER's token generation event on February 11, 2025, and Genesis Drop tokens were fully unlocked at launch. DropsTab also records a Bitget Launchpool from February 13 to 16, 2025 with 434,000 LAYER in rewards for locking BGSOL, plus Restaking Epochs point farming that began June 4, 2024. All three campaigns have ended.

Which Solayer campaigns are still open?

Solayer runs "the Basement", an ambassador program for creators, educators, and community builders, launched on November 24, 2025. This program is the only Solayer campaign DropsTab lists as active. The Genesis Drop, Bitget Launchpool, Restaking Epochs, and Buidlpad sale have all concluded. Current participation status appears on the Activities tab.

Where is the LAYER token available to trade and how deep is the liquidity?

LAYER trades primarily on centralized exchanges. Per DropsTab data, spot venues span tier-1 platforms including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Upbit, OKX, and Bybit, with fiat quote pairs in USD, EUR, KRW, TRY, and IDR. Derivatives markets add perpetual futures on Binance Futures, OKX Futures, Bybit, and Hyperliquid. DropsTab records no DEX pairs for LAYER, so liquidity is CEX-centric despite the token's Solana SPL contract, and market depth across the major venues is deep.
