Solana is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain capable of processing thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality.
Kaleido integrates Solana’s high-performance Layer 1 into your enterprise stack, providing a unified API gateway for high-frequency use cases
Solana is a high-performance public layer 1 blockchain that processes thousands of transactions per second with fast finality and low fees. Its smart contracts, called programs, run on Solana's own runtime rather than the EVM, and SOL is the native token. Kaleido connects institutions to Solana with managed nodes, transaction management and custody on one platform.
Kaleido connects institutions to Solana Mainnet, Testnet and Devnet through managed nodes and a Solana connector that builds, signs, submits and confirms transactions. Keys live in Kaleido's key management service, and SOL and SPL token holdings sit in the same platform as EVM assets, so treasury and operations teams manage Solana without a separate stack.
Kaleido's Solana connector works with the SPL Token and Token-2022 programs, so institutions can create token accounts, mint, transfer and hold SPL tokens through one API. A single request can combine several program calls, such as creating and funding a token account and then minting to it, as one atomic transaction.
Kaleido signs Solana transactions with Ed25519 keys held in its key management service. The Solana connector works out which keys an instruction needs, simulates the transaction to size compute units and fees, and checks the fee payer's balance before signing. Durable nonce accounts let teams sign offline.
Solana expresses finality through commitment levels. A transaction at 'confirmed' has been voted on by a supermajority of validators, usually within a second, while 'finalized' means the block can no longer be rolled back. Kaleido lets each workflow choose its commitment level, so a payment can wait for finalized while lower-value activity proceeds at confirmed.
Kaleido orchestrates the deployment and governance of on-chain Solana programs through automated pipelines. Once a program is live, teams supply its IDL in Anchor or Codama format, and Kaleido's transaction API builds instructions against it, so applications call custom programs the same way they call the System Program or SPL Token.
Institutions look at Solana for high throughput, fast confirmation and a low base fee per signature, which suit payments and high-volume trading. Solana is not EVM-compatible, so its contracts and tools differ from Ethereum's. Kaleido supports Solana next to EVM networks, so firms can use it where speed matters without a separate custody or operations stack.
