Approximately 45 employees — roughly half of Solana Labs' then-100-person workforce — transferred to the new entity. The founding team comprises Jeff Washington (CEO), Stephen Akridge (Solana co-founder), Jed Halfon (Chief Strategy Officer, former General Counsel of Solana Labs), Amber Christiansen (former head of operations), Pankaj Garg, and Jon Cinque, along with core Solana Labs engineers. The company is named after the Anza-Borrego Desert, located roughly 60 miles from Solana Beach, California. Anza's stated mission is to maintain and improve Solana's core infrastructure, deepen ecosystem decentralization, and develop new products and protocols for the Solana network.","heading":"Background and Formation","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Meet Anza, a New Solana-Focused Dev Shop — Anza official blog","type":"official","url":"https://www.anza.xyz/blog/meet-anza-a-new-solana-focused-dev-shop"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Former Solana Labs members form 'Anza' developer shop — The Block","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/275156/former-solana-labs-members-form-anza-developer-shop-prepare-to-unveil-agave-validator-client"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Former Solana Labs Team Launches Anza for New Validator Client — The Crypto Times","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/01/30/former-solana-labs-team-launches-anza-for-new-validator-client/"}]},{"content":"Anza's timing of incorporation drew scrutiny. The entity was registered in Delaware on June 20, 2023 — approximately two weeks after the SEC argued in the Coinbase lawsuit that SOL was an unregistered security. Fortune reported in January 2024 that sources familiar with the matter indicated the move was also partly in response to ongoing investor litigation, specifically a class action filed by investor Mark Young in July 2022 that alleged SOL was a 'highly centralized' unregistered security and that insiders held 48% of supply as of May 2021. Critics labeled the corporate restructuring 'decentralization theater,' with one unnamed blockchain attorney characterizing it as 'decentralization slash protecting your ass.' Halfon publicly disputed this characterization, arguing the spinout genuinely advances Solana's credible neutrality. An opposing legal voice quoted by Fortune praised the structure as a meaningful step toward decentralized management. Securities attorney Philip Moustakis noted that SEC enforcement would likely focus on Solana's initial launch period rather than the current structure, limiting the spinout's legal defensive value. Anza itself has not been named in any regulatory action and holds no SOL token allocation. The creation of Anza nonetheless remains a data point in the broader debate over Solana's governance centralization.","heading":"Regulatory Context and 'Decentralization Theater' Concerns","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Drama at Solana: Creation of new corporate entity raises questions of 'decentralization theater' — Fortune","type":"news_article","url":"https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/01/30/solana-anza-new-legal-entity-third-of-employees-decentralization-theater/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Exclusive: Anza Co-Founder Responds to Solana Centralization Concerns — CryptoNews","type":"news_article","url":"https://cryptonews.com/news/solana-anza-new-entity-centralization-concerns/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana Investor Sues Project Insiders, Claims Network Is 'Highly Centralized' — Blockworks","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.co/news/solana-investor-sues-project-insiders-claims-network-highly-centralized"}]},{"content":"On March 2, 2024, Anza forked the Solana Labs validator codebase and renamed it Agave, hosted at github.com/anza-xyz/agave. Agave is written in Rust and is a direct descendant of the original Solana validator client. It is the most widely adopted Solana validator client by stake weight. As of late 2025, roughly 86% of total staked SOL operated on Agave-derived software (including Jito-Solana, a popular MEV-enhanced fork of Agave, which accounts for the majority of that share). Agave 2.0 was released in November 2024, introducing compute unit pricing improvements. Agave 3.0, released to testnet in late 2025, delivered approximately 30–40% faster transaction processing, doubled cross-program invocation depth (from 4 to 8 levels), integrated eXpress Data Path (XDP) networking for lower validator-to-validator latency, and reduced validator restart time. The repository has received over 11,000 merged pull requests as of reporting, indicating substantial ongoing community and team contributions.","heading":"Agave Validator Client","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"GitHub — anza-xyz/agave","type":"official","url":"https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Learn More About the Solana Labs to Agave Fork — Solana.com","type":"official","url":"https://solana.com/news/solana-labs-anza-fork"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Agave 3.0 Update: All You Need to Know — Helius","type":"research","url":"https://www.helius.dev/blog/agave-v3-0"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana Agave 3.0, 40% Faster, Smarter, Stronger — Tatum","type":"news_article","url":"https://tatum.io/blog/agave-3-0-solana-performance-boost"}]},{"content":"Because Agave and its derivatives (most notably Jito-Solana) collectively underpin the majority of staked SOL on the network, a critical software bug in Agave's core runtime could in principle affect the majority of Solana validators simultaneously. The February 6, 2024 network outage — which lasted approximately five hours and was traced to a JIT compilation cache bug causing an infinite recompilation loop in validators running v1.17 — illustrated this concentration risk: more than 95% of cluster stake at the time ran the same client version and stalled simultaneously. Recovery required coordinated restart instructions distributed by the Anza/Solana core team, which itself reflects a degree of centralized response capacity. Client diversity has improved materially since mid-2025. Jump Crypto's Firedancer client (an independent C/C++ rewrite) launched on mainnet in December 2025 and, combined with its hybrid predecessor Frankendancer, represents roughly 17–21% of staked SOL by early 2026. A significant portion of the remaining stake runs on Jito-Solana, which shares Agave's runtime ancestry. The concentration of protocol maintenance responsibility within a single private company — Anza — remains a noted governance risk, even though Anza participates in Solana's open SIMD (Solana Improvement Document) proposal process.","heading":"Centralization and Client Diversity Risk","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"02-06-24 Solana Mainnet Beta Outage Report — Solana.com","type":"official","url":"https://solana.com/news/02-06-24-solana-mainnet-beta-outage-report"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana's Client Diversity Moment: Firedancer, Agave, and the Race to One Million TPS — BlockEden","type":"research","url":"https://blockeden.xyz/blog/2026/03/16/solana-client-diversity-agave-firedancer-1m-tps-mainnet-validator-ecosystem/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Jump Crypto's Firedancer hits Solana mainnet — The Block","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/382411/jump-cryptos-firedancer-hits-solana-mainnet-as-the-network-aims-to-unlock-1-million-tps"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana outage caused by a previously identified bug — Blockworks","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.com/news/solana-downtime-post-mortem"}]},{"content":"In May 2025, Anza published a whitepaper proposing Alpenglow (SIMD-0326), described by the team as 'the biggest change to Solana's core protocol ever.' Alpenglow would replace Proof of History and TowerBFT with two new components: Votor, a block finalization mechanism that confirms blocks in a single round if 80% of stake is online or two rounds at 60% participation, targeting median finality of approximately 150 milliseconds (versus TowerBFT's roughly 12.8 seconds); and Rotor, a data dissemination protocol that replaces Turbine by using a single relay layer to reduce network hops. The whitepaper (v1.0, May 19, 2025; v1.1 updated July 22, 2025) bases its latency figures on simulations of the current mainnet stake distribution, excluding computation overhead. SIMD-0326 passed a community governance vote on September 2, 2025 with 98.27% in favor, 1.05% opposed, and 0.69% abstaining, on 52% stake participation. As of early 2026, Alpenglow is available on the Agave master branch for private cluster testing and has not been activated on production clusters. The proposal's passage reflects Anza's significant influence over Solana's protocol roadmap, as Anza designed and proposed the upgrade and is responsible for its implementation.","heading":"Alpenglow Consensus Proposal","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Alpenglow: A New Consensus for Solana — Anza official blog","type":"official","url":"https://www.anza.xyz/blog/alpenglow-a-new-consensus-for-solana"},{"credibility":1,"name":"What is Solana Alpenglow?

The company has authored or co-authored several significant SIMDs beyond Alpenglow: SIMD-0204 (Slashable Event Verification), which establishes infrastructure for detecting validator misbehavior; SIMD-0212 (Slashing Economics), which proposes a parabolic slashing curve for malicious validator behavior; and earlier proposals on compute unit pricing and priority fee distribution. Critics have noted that Anza, as the primary Agave maintainer, exercises de facto control over which protocol changes are implemented in the dominant client, giving it an outsized gatekeeping role irrespective of formal governance votes. In December 2024, Anza hired Ethereum researcher Max Resnick (formerly of Consensys / Special Mechanisms Group) as an economist and researcher, signaling continued investment in protocol-level design capabilities.","heading":"Governance and Protocol Influence","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"SIMD-0204: The First Step To Slashing On Solana — Anza blog","type":"official","url":"https://www.anza.xyz/blog/simd-0204-the-first-step-to-slashing-on-solana"},{"credibility":1,"name":"SIMD-0212: Slashing On Solana — Anza blog","type":"official","url":"https://www.anza.xyz/blog/simd-0212-slashing-on-solana"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Ethereum researcher Max Resnick moves to join Solana development firm Anza — The Block","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/330068/ethereum-researcher-max-resnick-moves-to-join-solana-development-firm-anza"},{"credibility":2,"name":"A peek into Solana's core governance — Blockworks","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.co/news/lightspeed-newsletter-solana-core-governance"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana staking may become riskier as Anza proposes slashing — Blockworks","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.co/news/solana-slashing-proposal-validators"}]},{"content":"On December 24, 2024, Elisa Rossi, the ex-wife of Anza co-founder and Solana co-founder Stephen Akridge, filed a civil lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court alleging that Akridge secretly staked her SOL tokens and retained the resulting staking rewards without her knowledge or consent. The couple were married for approximately ten years and filed for divorce in 2023, having amassed substantial wealth largely attributable to Akridge's role in founding Solana Labs. The complaint alleges Akridge gave Rossi nominal wallet authority over three accounts containing her SOL tokens while continuing to stake them and collect rewards; Rossi alleges she discovered the alleged deception in May 2024. The exact SOL amount and dollar value are redacted in the public filing, though an accompanying sealed filing referenced 'significant sums.' The complaint quotes Akridge as saying 'good luck getting those staking rewards from me.' This civil matter pertains to Akridge personally and does not directly implicate Anza as a corporate entity, and Akridge has not faced regulatory or criminal charges in connection with it. However, it represents a reputational consideration for a company whose co-founder is a key technical figure in Solana's infrastructure.","heading":"Co-Founder Personal Litigation (Stephen Akridge)","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana co-founder allegedly kept millions in staking rewards from ex-wife — DL News","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.dlnews.com/articles/people-culture/solana-cofounder-allegedly-kept-millions-from-ex-wife/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana co-founder sued by ex-wife over millions worth of staked SOL — CoinTelegraph","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/solana-co-founder-sued-ex-wife-sol-staking-rewards"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Solana Co-Founder Stephen Akridge Faces Lawsuit from Elisa Rossi — The Defiant","type":"news_article","url":"https://thedefiant.io/news/people/solana-co-founder-stephen-akridge-faces-lawsuit-elisa-rossi-over-millions-sol-96e367cd"}]},{"content":"Anza's core team has deep roots in Solana's original development.

Jed Halfon served as General Counsel of Solana Labs (2021–2023) before assuming the Chief Strategy Officer role at Anza. Amber Christiansen led operations at Solana Labs. The company expanded its research capacity in December 2024 with the hire of Max Resnick, a prominent protocol economist formerly at Consensys, who cited dissatisfaction with Ethereum's layer-2 scaling direction.

   The Anza investigation page is largely accurate and well-sourced, with all major claims confirmed or partially confirmed by credible sources. Three notable inaccuracies were identified: (1) the Funding section incorrectly states Anza has not disclosed its funding source, when a Solana Foundation grant was publicly confirmed by the CEO at launch; (2) Agave 3.0 is described as 'released to testnet in late 2025' when it was in fact recommended for full mainnet deployment in October 2025; and (3) Rotor is characterized as 'replacing' Turbine when Anza's own documentation frames it as a refinement with Turbine remaining in the initial deployment. No claims were found to be actively disputed by credible counter-sources. The 86% Agave-derived stake figure is slightly stale for the 'late 2025' timeframe given rapid Frankendancer growth.

The 86% Agave-derived stake figure is slightly stale for the 'late 2025' timeframe given rapid Frankendancer growth.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}

   Score: 74 → 69 (-5)
   The reviewer confirmed 20 of 30 claims outright and found zero actively disputed claims, yielding a 0% disputed rate. A -5 modifier is applied to reflect a cluster of partially_supported findings that represent material imprecisions: claim_findings[29] (Funding section) incorrectly states Anza has not disclosed its funding source when CEO Jeff Washington publicly confirmed a Solana Foundation grant at launch; claim_findings[12] characterizes Agave 3.0 as 'released to testnet in late 2025' when official release schedule data shows it was recommended for full mainnet deployment in October 2025; and claim_findings[18] overstates Rotor as 'replacing' Turbine when Anza's own documentation frames it as a refinement with Turbine remaining in the initial deployment phases. These inaccuracies are correctible and do not rise to the level of disputed claims warranting a revise verdict, but they reduce overall accuracy confidence. Reviewer confidence was 0.88 and no link rot or stale critical citations were found.
