Solana development companies: how to evaluate a team
Criteria for assessing Solana development: accounts, permissions, programs, integration and testing. Public references with explicit scope and limits.
Developing a product on Solana requires connecting its functions to the network’s account and program model. The provider needs to understand how each operation is authorized and how application components interact. That experience affects initial implementation, testing and maintenance.
A useful way to compare teams is to ask them to explain a project operation and its required checks. Experience with EVM contracts can provide general knowledge, but it does not independently demonstrate familiarity with Solana’s specific requirements.
Criteria for comparing proposals
- Accounts: tests for identity, ownership and expected relationships.
- Compute: measurements of representative instructions.
- Client: IDL, SDK, wallet and indexing compatibility.
- Deployment: upgrade authority, recovery and transaction tracking.

How to use this selection
These references were selected for public information relevant to the engagement. They are not an exhaustive ranking or independent assessment of quality, pricing or results. Check advertised capabilities against deliverables, authorised references and a trial with comparable scope.
Metlabs publishes this guide and offers related services, so it has a commercial interest in the engagement. Compare our proposal using the same criteria and review our company.
What to request in a proposal
Request inclusions and exclusions, responsible parties, verifiable milestones, maintenance costs and exit procedures. Distinguish a commissioned audit from a commercial certification and check its version scope. Security, liquidity or fixed delivery claims need their own conditions and evidence.
