Ankr's enterprise branch Asphere launches a Solana permissioned environment providing customized private Blockchain networks.

【Coin World】Ankr's enterprise branch Asphere has launched the Solana Permissioned Environment (SPEs), providing customized private high-performance blockchain networks for enterprises seeking speed, control, and compliance. This move—combined with Asphere's push for SOC 2 Type 2 verification—positions the company as a vital infrastructure partner for industries such as finance, gaming, and media looking to leverage the powerful capabilities of Solana (SOL) in a secure and customizable manner. The Ankr (ANKR) team announced on Friday, July 25, the official launch of the Sphere new service, stating that this protocol product will assist enterprises in deploying networks on Solana, utilizing the key features of the blockchain: speed, security, and sovereignty.

According to the introduction by Sphere, SPE is a network tailored for enterprise clients, providing a private and high-performance environment. In addition to high performance and complete control over infrastructure, enterprise users deploying SPE can also enjoy the benefits of a compliant blockchain network. The main use cases supported by SPE include financial networks with permissioned validators, gasless transactions, and private execution. The platform also supports high-throughput decentralized applications in the gaming, SocialFi, and media sectors.

"Each SPE combines Solana's parallel execution, near-instant settlement, low fees, and energy efficiency advantages—with Asphere's global infrastructure and 24/7 support," Ankr stated. The release of SPE comes at a time when Asphere has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in 2024 and is currently in the final stages of Type 2 compliance. SOC 2 Type 2 is a service organization security compliance standard set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which is an important certification granted to companies after a comprehensive audit. Asphere looks forward to achieving the highest standards of security, availability, and confidentiality through this certification, and this progress will enhance the confidence of customers and partners as the project advances in the market.

Asphere pointed out in a blog post: "Our SOC 2 compliance audit specifically covers security, availability, and confidentiality standards – which are the cornerstone principles of any trusted technology partner." Asphere is collaborating with the Web3 Foundation, which supports the Polkadot multi-chain network, to launch a no-code rollup solution. This service was announced by Asphere in May, allowing users to pay for customized rollup solution fees directly through Ethereum or Solana wallets using ANKR, USDC, or USDT.
