# 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 <https://bridge.solaxy.io>. 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.
