Solana is a public, open-source blockchain designed for high throughput and low transaction fees. Its design combines a proof-of-stake validator network with a timing mechanism called proof of history, which helps validators agree on the order of events. Our Solana platform development team uses it to build applications where speed and cost per transaction matter.
Sigmato works with founders and businesses that want to move from idea to a working product on Solana: choosing what belongs on-chain, writing the programs, and building the wallet-connected apps that people actually use.
Solana Development Services
Solana program development
Smart contracts (called programs on Solana) written in Rust, structured with frameworks such as Anchor.
Token and NFT development
Fungible tokens and collections using the SPL token standard, plus minting and distribution tooling. See our NFT marketplace work.
DeFi and payment apps
Swap interfaces, lending logic, staking and payment flows that take advantage of low fees.
dApp front ends
Web and mobile apps with wallet connection, transaction signing and clear error handling.
Testing and security review
Unit and integration tests, devnet trials and a structured review before mainnet launch.
Integrations and backend
Indexing, off-chain services and APIs built with Node.js to support your on-chain logic.
What You Can Build on Solana
- Decentralised finance. Exchanges, lending and stablecoin tools that benefit from cheap, quick transactions.
- Digital assets. Tokens, loyalty points, collectibles and ticketing.
- Supply chain records. Tamper-evident tracking of goods and provenance.
- Gaming and interactive apps. In-game assets and fast, frequent interactions.
- Identity and reputation. Verifiable credentials and user-owned records.
- Prediction markets. Platforms where users trade on the outcome of future events, subject to the laws that apply where you operate.
Our Solana Development Process
- Scoping. We decide what must be on-chain and what is better kept in a normal database.
- Architecture. Account structure, program design, token model and fee handling.
- Build. Rust programs and the client app, developed together and tested on a local validator and devnet.
- Review. Internal review, tests for edge cases and, for high-value contracts, an independent audit. Our post on smart contract audits explains what they cover.
- Deploy. Mainnet deployment, key management and monitoring.
Solana Compared With Other Chains
Chain choice depends on your users and your budget. Our article on Solana vs Ethereum covers the trade-offs, and we also work with Solidity on Ethereum and the Cardano platform.
| Factor | Solana | Ethereum-compatible chains |
|---|---|---|
| Programming language | Rust (programs) | Solidity (contracts) |
| Typical transaction cost | Very low | Varies by network and load |
| Tooling maturity | Growing, strong for consumer apps | Broad, long-established ecosystem |
| Good fit | High-frequency, low-value interactions | Applications that need the widest tooling and liquidity |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why build on Solana instead of Ethereum?
Solana tends to suit apps with many small transactions because fees are low and confirmations are quick. Ethereum-compatible chains offer a larger tooling ecosystem. The right choice depends on your users and product.
What language are Solana programs written in?
Mostly Rust, often with the Anchor framework, which removes much of the repetitive boilerplate. Client apps use JavaScript or TypeScript.
Do I need a smart contract audit?
If the program holds user funds or valuable assets, an independent audit is strongly advisable before mainnet launch.
Can you build a token or NFT project on Solana?
Yes. We build tokens, collections, minting sites and the wallet-connected front ends around them.
Is my project legal?
Rules for tokens, trading and digital assets differ by country. We build the technology; please take legal advice for your jurisdiction.
