Nitesh Nath
CEO, DFLOW
Helius is super fast, reliable, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for the best developer experience on Solana. They power a great portion of our infrastructure at Backpack.
Armani Ferrante
CO-FOUNDER & CEO, BACKPACK
The Helius team makes building on Solana smoother and easier. They've done an amazing job at streamlining and removing complexity from app development on the network.
Anatoly Yakovenko
CO-FOUNDER & CEO, SOLANA
The Helius team's deep technical expertise in Solana and node management was absolutely critical during one of our most challenging and busiest days. Thanks to their support, we handled extreme congestion and enabled our users to complete more than 10 million transactions in just one day.
Jorge Valdeiglesias
STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER, PHANTOM
The Helius team is the GOAT. They ship fast, intake product feedback overnight, and power a great deal of Crossmint infrastructure. A big percentage of Crossmint products couldn't exist without Helius.
Alfonso Gomez Manas
CO-FOUNDER, CROSSMINT
Having personally built our own in-house indexing and data pipelines at Zeta, I know how much of a headache it is for new teams. Being able to save countless hours of data engineering work and costly AWS bills is a big advantage for us.
Tristan Frizza
FOUNDER & CEO, ZETA MARKETS
Helius has been instrumental in kickstarting our Pythnet operations. Their seamless infrastructure management ensures everything runs smoothly, allowing us to focus on building and scaling our trading operations without worrying about the details of running Solana nodes.
Jeremy De Groodt
CO-FOUNDER & CTO, KEYROCK
As Solana activity continues to grow, Helius stands out as one of the leading Solana infrastructure providers, enabling our team to access reliable data that meets the demands of an enterprise-grade platform.
Jonathan Levin
CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, CHAINALYSIS
We tried every strategy to land transactions on Solana, but nothing was working. The moment we switched our RPCs to Helius and started sending transactions through staked connections, all of our problems disappeared. Now we can confidently scale our business on Solana without worrying about our customer's transactions getting dropped.
Cody Lambert
SOFTWARE ENGINEER, BRALE
When it comes to SOL staking, Helius is truly differentiated. Helius is the industry leader when it comes to running secure, reliable, and performant validators. Since launching in 2022, they have championed Solana's success, built world-class infrastructure, and stewarded the network to become what it is today - the foundation on which the new financial system will be built.
Cosmo Jiang
GENERAL PARTNER AT PANTERA CAPITAL AND BOARD OBSERVER AT HSDT
We're thrilled to partner with Helius in building our own Solana validator for the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF. Not only is Helius the standard bearer for Solana validators when it comes to areas like performance, reliability, and security, but their native understanding of Solana and its ecosystem is unmatched. They've helped us build the perfect high performance validator—one that meets our stringent needs around security and reporting as an ETF issuer.
