San Francisco, USA, July 24, 2025 – Asphere, the enterprise arm of Ankr and a global leader in blockchain infrastructure, today announced the launch of a service to create Solana Permissioned Environments (SPEs) on behalf of enterprise clients. SPEs are bespoke, enterprise-grade Solana networks designed for organizations that demand speed, sovereignty, and full-stack customizability.

Built in collaboration with the Solana ecosystem, SPEs empower businesses to tap into Solana’s iconic performance and developer experience while retaining total control over network rules, infrastructure, and compliance. Each SPE is meticulously tailored and built to the exacting standards of Asphere’s engineering team to ensure the fastest, most dependable deployment of purpose-built Solana Virtual Machines.

Tyler Sloan, Asphere Scaling Solutions Lead, said, “Solana Permissioned Environments enable institutions and financial orgs to integrate Web3 in a simple, trusted manner. We’re unlocking a new frontier for enterprises: custom-built networks that combine Solana’s formidable throughput with total operational control.”

For the launch of new SPEs, Asphere handles the full lifecycle – from architecture customization to deployment to ongoing network security, node management, and compliance tooling – ensuring every launch meets the unique demands of high-stakes applications.

The SPE framework is ideal for use cases requiring high performance and specialized control, such as:

  • Financial networks with permissioned validator sets, gasless transactions, and private execution.

  • High-throughput dApps in gaming, social, or other media requiring ultra-low latency and seamless UX.

  • Compliance-sensitive applications with regulatory tooling and regional infrastructure control.

Each SPE benefits from Solana’s core advantages: parallelized execution, near-instant settlement, affordable fees, and sustainable energy efficiency. Combined with Asphere’s globally distributed infrastructure and 24/7 operational support, clients gain a high-speed sovereign network with zero compromises.

Key features of the SPE model include:

  • Custom network topology – Whitelist RPC endpoints, geofence validators, or isolate block production.

  • Built-in Solana ecosystem tools – State compression, Solang-based Solidity support, native bridges, and more.

  • Flexible consensus & governance – Modify block frequency, tokenomics, or validator logic as needed.

  • Enterprise compliance suite – Custodial tools, KYC modules, and audit support across jurisdictions.

“With SPEs, your network runs on your rules,” added Sloan. “Asphere’s mission is to abstract away the protocol complexity so teams can focus on what matters—delivering secure, high-performance Web3 products backed by Solana’s tech and Asphere’s end-to-end support.”

Asphere provides a white-glove experience across the full lifecycle, from planning to deployment and evolution, while pairing deep infrastructure expertise with Solana’s global state machine to deliver the premier scaling solution for enterprises merging with Web3.
