Solana Company has unveiled a roadmap for establishing high-speed infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region for the Solana ecosystem, dubbed Pacific Backbone. The initiative aims to develop a low-latency network initially connecting Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong, designed to directly support staking and validation on the blockchain, as well as diversify the company’s revenue.
The project will commence with the activation of several small nodes to ensure security and efficiency, followed by scaling. Solana Company also prioritizes meeting the needs of market makers, high-frequency traders, exchanges, and other traditional financial partners in the ecosystem. Deployment of technologies involves the purchase and deployment of modern equipment, with expected rollout in the second half of 2026. New products are planned to be introduced within the next 12-18 months. “We are preparing for the next Solana supercycle. By creating Pacific Backbone, we can better support the existing ecosystem of developers and partners while accelerating the onboarding of new participants, especially financial institutions and technology companies in the region,” said Solana Company CEO Joseph Chi.
CoinGecko data show the firm holds 2.3 million SOL, making it the second-largest corporate holder of the asset. In September 2025, the company, then known as Helius Medical Technologies, announced a shift to a treasury strategy in Solana, with financial backing of $500 million through stock purchases provided by Pantera Capital and Summer Capital, with participation from several other investors.
