Introducing Solana Permissioned Environments
The Solana Foundation is pleased to introduce Solana Permissioned Environments (SPEs), a new solution for enterprise businesses.
SPEs are customizable Solana Virtual Machine private instances that allow enterprises to use the Solana protocol to power their internal infrastructure or collaborate with partner networks.
The Solana Protocol
The Solana protocol is one of the leading protocols when it comes to scalability. Its fast settlement times, unparalleled transaction speed, affordable fees, and minimal environmental impact have made it an attractive place for enterprise businesses to build their web3 projects.
Solana has gained popularity among enterprise businesses, with companies like Visa, ASICS, and Google Cloud using the protocol for their web3 projects.
What are Solana Permissioned Environments?
Solana Permissioned Environments enable a category of products in the Solana ecosystem that combines the Solana protocol’s unparalleled blockchain technology with the high customizability required for large-scale businesses.
Key Features of SPEs
- Customizable Experience: SPEs allow enterprises to build directly to their custom requirements, from creating a geofenced node network to ensuring specific regulatory compliance.
- Ultimate Control: SPEs are Solana environments in which enterprises are the highest authority, acting independently of Solana mainnet-beta.
- Integration with Solana Tech Stack: All SPEs can potentially use the same innovative ecosystem-based tools as the rest of the Solana network, from state compression to Solidity language support and an enterprise-friendly token standard.
- Scalability: SPEs allow enterprises to take advantage of high throughput, parallelization, fast settlement time, affordable fees, and low environmental impact.
How Do SPEs Work?
SPEs can be customized to meet the specific needs of enterprise businesses. They can be used to create private blockchain networks for internal use or collaboration with partner networks.
By creating an SPE, enterprises can enjoy the benefits of the Solana protocol without being connected to Solana mainnet-beta, which means they can customize their environment to meet their specific needs.
What are the Use Cases for SPEs?
SPEs are best suited for specific use cases that require customizable environments, such as:
- Create a geofenced node network
- Ensure specific regulatory compliance
- Build a private blockchain network for internal use or collaboration with partner networks
Conclusion
Solana Permissioned Environments offer a new solution for enterprise businesses looking to use blockchain technology to power their internal infrastructure or collaborate with partner networks. With their customizable features, scalable architecture, and innovative ecosystem-based tools, SPEs are an attractive option for companies looking to build their web3 projects.
