Solana (SOL) has become a popular blockchain platform, but it has also been criticized for its centralization and high transaction fees. Solayer, a restaking project on Solana, is transitioning to an independently developed Layer 1 blockchain in an effort to address these concerns. In a recent report, Web3 accelerator Undefined Labs analyzed Solayer's transition. The report found that Solayer is aiming to address key issues prevalent in the Solana network, such as centralization and high transaction fees. Solayer is taking a different approach to scaling than Solana. Instead of using software optimization, Solayer is leveraging hardware acceleration. This approach is said to offer higher transaction processing performance and scalability. However, concerns regarding centralization remain. Solayer is adopting a Proof of Authority and Stake (PoSA) architecture, which could lead to centralization. However, the report notes that Solayer is taking steps to mitigate these concerns, such as by using a decentralized validator network. Overall, the report from Undefined Labs is positive on Solayer's transition to an independently developed Layer 1 blockchain. The report concludes that Solayer has the potential to address key issues prevalent in the Solana network.
