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

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
