The Settlement Layer
for the Modular Future
A high-performance L1 blockchain purpose-built for rollup settlement, smart accounts, and intent-driven execution.
A high-performance L1 blockchain purpose-built for rollup settlement, smart accounts, and intent-driven execution.
Solen is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built for rollup settlement, smart accounts, and intent-driven execution. Sub-second finality, fractions-of-a-cent fees, and a programmable account model that makes self-custody safer.
Native support for optimistic and ZK rollup batch commitments, proof verification, and cross-domain bridging — all at the protocol level.
Every account is a smart account — with programmable authentication, social recovery, spending policies, and session keys built in.
Declare what you want, not how. Solvers and bundlers compete to fulfill intents with optimal execution and MEV protection.
Parallel transaction execution and optimized consensus deliver the performance rollups demand from their settlement layer.
Proof-of-stake consensus with epoch-based rotation, slashing for misbehavior, and transparent reward distribution.
Comprehensive RPC API, TypeScript wallet SDK, devnet tooling, and a built-in block explorer to get building fast.
Solen is the only L1 that combines native smart accounts, protocol-level intents, and native rollup settlement on a deterministic WASM VM. Other chains pick one or two of these — Solen builds on all of them.
| Solen | Ethereum | Solana | Cosmos | Aptos | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart accounts | Native, by default | Opt-in (ERC-4337) | Not native | Not native | Native (resource accts) |
| Intent execution | Built into protocol | App-level (CowSwap, UniswapX) | None | None | None |
| Rollup support | Native settlement primitive | External L2 ecosystem | Monolithic, no rollups | App-chain model (IBC) | Monolithic, no rollups |
| Virtual machine | Deterministic WASM | EVM bytecode | Sealevel / SBF | CosmWasm or custom | Move VM |
| Finality | Single-slot BFT (<1s) | ~13 min (Casper FFG) | Optimistic (~12s) | Single-block (Tendermint) | Single-slot BFT (<1s) |
| Account model | 32-byte, smart by default | 20-byte EOA + contracts | Program / data accounts | 20-byte (cosmos1...) | 32-byte resource accts |
| Governance | On-chain by default | Off-chain (foundation) | Foundation-led | On-chain (per chain) | On-chain |
Comparison reflects each chain's default protocol behavior at the L1 level. App-level workarounds and proposed standards are not counted.
A modular Rust stack: rollups and app chains run their own logic and settle proofs to a unified L1 that handles consensus, smart accounts, intents, and bridging. Data availability is verifiable on-chain or via external DA layers.
Benchmarked on a live 4-validator testnet with BFT consensus, full Ed25519 signature verification, and deterministic single-slot finality.
| Chain | TPS (Real-world) | Finality | Block Time | Consensus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solen | 1,200+ | < 1s | ~2s | BFT PoS |
| Ethereum | ~15 | ~13 min | 12s | Gasper PoS |
| BNB Chain | ~100-300 | ~7.5s | 3s | PoSA |
| Solana | ~3,000-4,000 | ~12s | 0.4s | PoH + Tower BFT |
| Avalanche C | ~350 | ~2s | 2s | Snowman |
| Polygon PoS | ~100-200 | ~2 min | 2s | PoS + Checkpoints |

Common questions about Solen.
Solen is a Layer 1 blockchain built for rollup settlement, smart accounts, and intent-driven execution. It uses BFT proof-of-stake consensus with single-slot finality and a deterministic WASM virtual machine.
Solen ships modern primitives — smart accounts, intents, native rollups — as protocol-level features instead of bolt-on standards. It also has sub-second finality (vs. Ethereum's ~13 minutes) and fees measured in fractions of a cent.
Solen is modular by design: rollups and app chains run their own logic and settle to a unified L1. Solana is monolithic. Solen also has native smart accounts and a built-in intent engine, neither of which Solana provides at the protocol level.
wSOLEN trades on Uniswap on Base, and native SOLEN trades on Qutrade. See the Ecosystem section below for direct links.
See the validator setup guide in the docs at docs.solenchain.io.
Read the technical design proposal behind Solen's modular settlement architecture.
A proposal for a modular settlement network designed for native rollups, programmable accounts, bounded privacy, and intent-aware execution.
A fixed supply of 2 billion SOLEN tokens with a deflationary fee burn and no inflation at launch.
Validators earn epoch rewards from a 500M pool distributed over 10 years. Delegators share rewards proportional to stake. 7-epoch unbonding period.
50% of all transaction fees are burned permanently, creating deflationary pressure. At high volume, burns can exceed reward issuance.
Staked token holders vote on protocol parameters with 66.67% supermajority. 30% quorum required. Total supply cap requires a hard fork.
All allocations are subject to on-chain vesting locks enforced by the protocol. Tokens are released gradually to ensure long-term alignment.
Only ~130M SOLEN (~6.5%) is circulating at mainnet launch. All other tokens are locked in on-chain vesting contracts.
Two ways to earn validator rewards on Solen — pick the model that fits your style.
Delegate SOLEN directly to the validator of your choice. Native, simple, no wrapper token.
Best for users who want direct control over which validator they support, or who run their own validator and want to self-stake.
How delegation works →Deposit SOLEN, receive stSOLEN — a transferable receipt token whose value grows as the pool earns rewards. Stay liquid while you stake.
Best for users who want yield without picking validators, or who want their staked position to remain transferable and composable.
stake.solenchain.io →| Validator Delegation | Liquid Staking (stSOLEN) | |
|---|---|---|
| Receive a transferable token | No | Yes — stSOLEN |
| Pick the validator yourself | Yes, any validator | No — round-robin allowlist |
| Protocol fee on rewards | None (validator commission only) | 10% (90% to stakers) |
| Compound rewards | Manual re-stake | Automatic via exchange-rate growth |
| Exit time | 7 epochs (~24 min) | 7 epochs unbonding queue |
| Use in DeFi | No | Yes — stSOLEN is composable |
Operate a Solen node, sign blocks, and earn the full validator share of rewards plus delegator commission. Highest yield potential, highest commitment.
Best for operators with the SOLEN to self-stake, the ops appetite to keep a node up around the clock, and the willingness to take on slashing risk for the highest yield.
