Unlocking Full Access to Solana DeFi on Porto, Anchorage Digital’s Institutional Self-Custody Wallet

As institutional activity on Solana continues to mature, the infrastructure supporting its protocols is evolving to meet higher safety standards. Solana offers unparalleled execution speed, but its high-performance architecture often presents transaction details as serialized binary data. Without a layer to decode this information, users are often left “blind signing” transactions they cannot easily verify. For institutions, bridging this transparency gap is a key step in maturing their security and compliance workflows. 

Today, Anchorage Digital, home to America’s first federally regulated crypto bank, is bridging that gap by announcing support for Solana arbitrary interactions on Porto, starting with the network’s leading protocols: Jupiter, Orca, Kamino, DFlow, Neutral Trade, and OnRe. This expansion is backed by the rigorous security of the Visual Sign Protocol (VSP), establishing the safety standard required to make these interactions institutionally acceptable.

Institutional Solana, optimized for Porto

Support for arbitrary interactions on Solana is not new, but until now, it has lacked the security architecture required for institutional workflows. What sets Porto apart is leveraging VSP as a safety layer, ensuring that every interaction – whether swapping on Jupiter, providing liquidity on Orca, or lending on Kamino – is parsed into human-readable data before it ever reaches the signer.

Porto users can now navigate the Solana DeFi landscape with total confidence:

• Elimination of blind signing: Replace serialized binary data with plain-English summaries via a specialized decoding engine. This ensures signers can authorize transactions with clarity rather than guessing at complex program instructions.
• Transaction display integrity: Mitigate the risk of front-end spoofing by processing decoding logic in a hardened, air-gapped environment. This isolated architecture protects assets from malicious browser-based threats that standard tools fail to detect.
• Navigate DeFi with confidence: Verify that onchain intent matches expected execution using VSP for swapping, staking, or governance. Automating this verification allows firms to deploy capital from self-custody at speed without risking unintended outcomes. 

Solana DeFi access without the security trade-offs

Porto connects to Solana DeFi through a purpose-built extension that processes all decoding logic in an isolated environment while keeping private keys offline through HSMs. By leveraging VSP, institutions gain access to a high-velocity interface that ensures every transaction is fully transparent before it is signed.

‍“Institutions have long wanted to participate in the full depth of the Solana ecosystem, but the risk of blind signing was a non-starter. By bringing secure arbitrary interactions to Porto, we are providing the first institutional-grade bridge that doesn’t force a trade-off between speed and transaction clarity. Our clients can now engage with the best of Solana DeFi with absolute certainty in their onchain intent” — Nathan McCauley, CEO & Co-Founder, Anchorage Digital

“Jupiter aggregates the deepest liquidity on Solana, and institutional capital deserves the clarity to access it safely. Porto’s integration of VSP means every swap, every lending deposit, and every bit of execution is fully transparent before signing - exactly the standard this next wave of capital requires.” — Kash Dhanda, COO, Jupiter‍

“Institutional yield and liquidity strategies on Kamino require more than just speed; they require verifiable intent. This partnership ensures Porto users can deploy capital into our vaults with absolute certainty.” — Marius Ciubotariu, Co-Founder, Kamino

“Orca is committed to providing efficient and accessible liquidity on Solana. Porto provides the institutional-grade security and transaction clarity that allows firms to participate in our ecosystem with unparalleled transparency and control.” — Michael Hwang, CEO, Orca

The era of blind signing is over

This expansion represents a significant step in how institutions engage with the Solana ecosystem. By providing a secure, human-readable gateway to Solana’s premier protocols, Anchorage Digital is providing the transparency and control firms need to participate onchain with confidence. 

‍With Porto, institutional-grade clarity is now an accessible reality on Solana, empowering firms to engage with the ecosystem at scale – and with confidence.
