# Solaxy Network

**Solaxy Network** is the Layer 2 infrastructure that powers fast, scalable, and secure decentralized applications on top of Solana.

While Solaxy is built as a zk-rollup protocol under the hood, it's also a **full-stack product ecosystem** designed to deliver real utility to both developers and end-users.

***

#### 🔧 What is the Solaxy Network?

At its core, the Solaxy Network is:

* A **zk-rollup** that runs Solana smart contracts off-chain and settles on Solana Layer 1.
* A **developer platform** offering SVM compatibility, fast confirmations, and a familiar toolchain.
* A **cross-chain execution layer** with seamless bridging to Solana, Solaxy and Ethereum.
* A **production-ready rollup stack** integrated with Hyperlane, Sovereign SDK, and SP1 zkVM.

It’s everything you expect from a modern L2 - but native to Solana.

***

#### 🚀 Who is it for?

Solaxy Network is designed for:

* **Developers** building DeFi, gaming, or high-throughput applications that need more scalability than Solana L1 can offer.
* **Projects** looking to bridge liquidity or deploy multi-chain smart contracts.
* **End users** who want fast, low-fee transactions and a consistent experience across chains.

***

#### 🧱 Core Components

Solaxy Network includes:

* **Rollup Node Infrastructure**: Validates and sequences transactions off-chain
* **Bridge Interface**: Transfers assets between Solana, Solaxy, and Ethereum
* **Block Explorer**: Provides visibility into rollup activity and state
* **Testnet Environment**: Open to developers for experimentation and feedback
* **Public RPCs & APIs**: For permissionless app and frontend integration

***

#### 🌐 Live Network (Testnet)

Solaxy Testnet is currently live and supports:

* Bridging via <https://bridge.solaxy.io>
* SVM-compatible contract deployment using RPC endpoint in [Access Information](/developer-resources/access-information.md)
* Explorer at <https://explorer.solaxy.io/>
* Testnet Faucet at <https://faucet.solaxy.io/>

Mainnet launch will follow successful audits, performance validation, and community readiness.

***

#### 🛠 Built With

Solaxy Network integrates a range of modular components:

* **Sovereign SDK**: Rollup framework for SVM execution and modular design
* **SP1 zkVM**: Zero-knowledge virtual machine for provable computation
* **Hyperlane**: Interoperability protocol for trustless bridging
* **Solana L1**: Final settlement and data availability layer

***

#### 🌉 Ecosystem Vision

Solaxy isn’t just a scaling solution - it’s a **foundational layer** for the next wave of cross-chain applications. By making Solana-native tooling available in a rollup environment and bridging it to Ethereum, Solaxy becomes the hub for high-performance, multi-chain development.
