Helius provides a full-suite developer platform and vertically integrated stack designed to simplify building on Solana by removing low-level infrastructure burdens such as unreliable RPC nodes, complex data streaming, and on-chain indexing. The company offers tools and open-source SDKs spanning from validator plugins up through developer-facing libraries to enable rapid dApp development. Founded in 2022 by former Coinbase and AWS engineers, Helius focuses exclusively on Solana to optimize performance and reliability for developers. It says it already powers a majority of the Solana ecosystem and supports integrations and migrations, including work related to the Jupiter airdrop, Helium’s migration to Solana, and enterprise integrations like Shopify and Discord. Helius plans to use its recent funding to hire low-level systems and backend engineers and to deepen its technical stack. The stated mission is to eliminate infrastructure complexity so developers can concentrate on building user-facing applications.
