Technology Overview

What is Solana?

Solana processes 50,000+ transactions per second at $0.00025 per transaction. We have been delivering Solana applications since its mainnet launch. 1,000+ blockchain projects. Here is what Solana is designed for and what we build on it.

Solana's throughput and transaction cost make it the correct chain for applications where Ethereum's throughput or gas costs are barriers: gaming with frequent on-chain actions, high-frequency DEX trading, and consumer applications requiring sub-cent micropayments. The trade-off: Rust development has a steeper learning curve and a smaller developer pool, which increases development cost.

When to Build on Solana

Capabilities

What we build with Solana

01

Your application requires more than 1,000 TPS at the base layer

02

Transaction cost must be under $0.01 per interaction (gaming, micropayments, social)

03

Sub-second finality is a UX requirement

04

You are building in the Solana-native ecosystem (Orca, Raydium, Jupiter, Magic Eden)

05

Your target users are in the Solana user base (Phantom wallet holders, Solana NFT collectors)

06

Solana Programs (smart contracts): Rust-based on-chain programs using the Anchor framework

Implementation

How we implement Solana

01

Discovery and fit

We validate requirements, user flows, transaction volume, security constraints, and integration needs.

02

Architecture

We define contracts, backend services, infrastructure, data flows, testing strategy, and deployment environments.

03

Implementation

Our engineers build, integrate, test, and document the production system.

04

Launch and support

We deploy, monitor, optimize, and support the system after production release.

Security

Security at every implementation layer

Threat modeling

Architecture is reviewed for asset custody, access control, external dependencies, and abuse cases.

Testing

Implementation includes unit, integration, edge-case, and regression testing before release.

Audit readiness

Smart contracts and critical infrastructure are prepared for independent security review where required.

Monitoring

Production systems include observability, alerts, incident response planning, and maintenance workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solana development FAQs

What is Anchor and why is it used for Solana development?+

Anchor is a framework for developing Solana programs that abstracts much of the low-level boilerplate of native Solana program development. It provides account validation macros, error handling, and client generation. Most professional Solana development uses Anchor for production programs.

What wallets support Solana?+

Phantom (dominant Solana wallet), Backpack, Solflare, and Glow. All major Solana wallets support the standard Solana wallet adapter, which we integrate into all Solana front-end applications.
