Ankr’s Asphere Revolutionizes Enterprise Blockchain with Cutting-Edge Solana Integration
Solana gets a corporate upgrade—Ankr’s Asphere just dropped a game-changer for enterprises.
Why it matters: Forget clunky legacy chains. Asphere’s new service leverages Solana’s blistering speeds at institutional scale, letting Fortune 500s finally ape into web3 without the downtime shame.
The pitch: Enterprise-grade nodes, zero-config RPC endpoints, and compliance hooks that’ll make your CFO stop hyperventilating about ‘crypto risks.’ All running on Solana’s proof-of-history rails.
Bonus jab: Because nothing screams ‘serious adoption’ like TradFi dinosaurs paying 10x infra costs to avoid saying ‘blockchain’ in earnings calls.
What as the SPEs for?
Key use cases that SPEs support include financial networks that allow for permissioned validators, gasless transactions and private execution. The platform’s offer also allows for high-throughput decentralized applications across gaming, SocialFi and media.
“Each SPE combines Solana’s parallel execution, near-instant settlement, low fees, and energy efficiency – with Asphere’s global infra and 24/7 support,” Ankr wrote.
The launch of SPE comes as Asphere, which achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in 2024, says it is in the final stages towards Type 2 compliance. SOC 2 Type 2 is a security compliance standard for service organizations by AICPA, is a key certification for companies offered after a comprehensive auditing procedure.
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance
Asphere is eyeing the gold standard for the highest security, availability and confidentiality standards with the certification, progress that WOULD increase confidence from clients and partners as the project makes inroads in the market.
“Our SOC 2 compliance audit specifically covered the Security, Availability, and Confidentiality criteria—the foundational principles of any trustworthy technology partner,” Asphere noted in a blog post.
Asphere teamed up with the Web3 Foundation, an entity backing Polkadot’s multichain network in a partnership that aimed to unveil a no-code rollup solution. The service, which Asphere announced in May, allows users to pay for their custom rollup solution with ANKR, USDC, or USDT directly from their wallets on ethereum or Solana.
