Anza is a Solana-focused R&D lab working on the core infrastructure that powers the blockchain ecosystem. We build and maintain Agave, Solana's majority validator client, which runs the network. Our team comes from Solana Labs and has deep experience with the protocol's inner workings, so we understand what's needed to keep these systems running reliably at scale.
We develop tools like Pinocchio, a minimal Rust framework for Solana programs, and work on advanced consensus mechanisms like Alpenglow. We believe robust protocols are built in the open with multiple contributors, which is why we collaborate widely and maintain active GitHub repositories. Beyond core infrastructure, we create developer tools and SDKs that help teams build Solana applications more effectively.
