# FAQ #### ❓ What is Solaxy? Solaxy is a high-performance Layer 2 rollup built on Solana. It scales the network by executing transactions off-chain while settling securely on Solana Layer 1. It supports Solana-native tooling and is compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). *** #### ❓ How does Solaxy scale Solana? Solaxy increases throughput by bundling transactions off-chain and committing them to Solana L1 in compressed batches. This reduces load on the base layer and improves performance without sacrificing security. *** #### ❓ Is Solaxy a zk-rollup or optimistic rollup? Solaxy is **modular** - it currently supports optimistic rollup logic and is integrating zk-proof support using the SP1 zero-knowledge virtual machine. Over time, it will support both modes depending on use case and infrastructure maturity. *** #### ❓ What’s the difference between Solaxy and Solana? Solaxy is a **Layer 2** rollup that runs on top of Solana. It executes transactions off-chain and publishes data and proofs to Solana L1. Solana remains the source of truth, while Solaxy provides scalability and better UX. *** #### ❓ Can I deploy existing Solana programs on Solaxy? Yes. Solaxy supports the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) natively, so you can use existing programs and tooling without rewriting code. *** #### ❓ How do I use the Solaxy bridge? You can access the bridge at . It supports transferring assets across Sol <> Solx <> Eth. *** #### ❓ What chains does Solaxy support bridging to? * **Solana ↔ Solaxy** * **Ethereum ↔ Solaxy** * **Solana ↔ Ethereum** *** #### ❓ Is there a token? Yes. Solaxy will have a native token, **$SOLX**, which will be used for transaction fees. *** #### ❓ Where can I track development progress? You can follow Dev Updates on our website or join the community on X (Twitter) and Telegram for real-time updates. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
