What for as SPES?
Key use cases that include SPES support include permitted valters, gas-free transactions and financial networks that allow private execution. Platform offers also enable high-throughput, distributed applications across games, social FI and media.
“Each SPE combines Solana’s parallel execution, proximity settlement, low fees and energy efficiency with Asphere’s global infrastructure and 24/7 support,” writes ANKR.
The launch of the SPE is as Asphere, which achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in 2024, and it says it is in its final stages towards Type 2 compliance. SOC 2 Type 2 is the security compliance standard for service organizations through AICPA and is a critical enterprise certification provided after a comprehensive audit procedure.
SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance
Asphere is focusing on the gold standards of the highest security, availability and confidentiality standards, using certifications that increase confidence from clients and partners as projects break into the market.
“Our SOC 2 compliance audit specifically covers security, availability and confidentiality standards, the fundamental principles of trustworthy technology partners,” Asphere said in a blog post.
Asphere collaborated with Web3 Foundation, an entity supporting Polkadot’s multichine network in a partnership aimed at launching a no-code rollup solution. The service announced by Asphere in May allows users to pay for custom rollup solutions using ANKR, USDC, or USDT from their Ethereum or Solana wallets.
