Insights
GK8's expansion to Solana DeFi enhances Galaxy's institutional offering, positioning it to capture growing institutional demand for secure Solana access.
GK8 by Galaxy is strategically expanding its institutional custody platform beyond Ethereum-compatible chains to now include Solana blockchain, responding to increasing institutional demand for Solana's high-performance DeFi ecosystem. This expansion allows financial institutions and crypto funds to securely interact with popular Solana protocols like Orca, Radium, and Jupiter using GK8's existing infrastructure.
The platform's technical approach is particularly noteworthy. Rather than requiring institutions to use third-party wallets (which introduce security risks), GK8 routes all DeFi activities through their proprietary uMPC (Unlimited Multi-Party Computation) framework. This architecture maintains institutional-grade security while achieving impressive performance metrics of up to 7,500 signatures per second.
What makes this significant is how it addresses key institutional barriers to DeFi adoption. The solution incorporates critical governance features like transaction-based permissions, role-based access controls, and multi-step approval workflows—essential compliance requirements for regulated financial entities. By enabling seamless integration with MetaMask and WalletConnect while maintaining these controls, GK8 creates a bridge between institutional requirements and DeFi opportunities.
For Galaxy specifically, this expansion strengthens its competitive position in the institutional crypto infrastructure space, particularly as traditional financial institutions increasingly explore DeFi for trading operations and yield generation beyond simple custody. The timing aligns with growing institutional interest in Solana's ecosystem, which offers advantages in transaction speed and cost compared to Ethereum.
As DeFi becomes a vital component of institutional digital asset strategies, demand for access to Solana's high-speed, low-cost ecosystem continues to grow. GK8 meets this need by offering a seamless, compliant, and secure way to engage with Solana DeFi applications, without relying on third-party wallets or having to give up governance controls.
"Crypto funds are diving deeper into DeFi – not just for yield, but as part of their core trading and investment operations," said Lior Lamesh, Co-Founder & CEO at GK8 by Galaxy. "With Solana DeFi now available through GK8, our clients can act on new opportunities without compromising on usability, security, or compliance."
Seamless DeFi Access Across Solana and All Major Chains
GK8's DeFi integration allows institutional users to:
- Transact directly with Solana and EVM-based protocols via MetaMask and WalletConnect
- Maintain full control while interacting with DeFi from GK8-managed uMPC (Unlimited Multi-Party Computation) wallets
- Enforce internal governance policies, including transaction- and role-based permissions, and multi-step approvals
- Initiate trades, swaps, and liquidity activity directly from GK8 managed accounts
- Achieve unmatched performance, with up to 7,500 signatures per second
All DeFi activity, including on Solana, is routed through GK8's proprietary uMPC framework, ensuring institutional-grade security and compliance with internal policies.
Built for Institutional Scale
From OTC desks and asset managers to crypto funds and regulated financial institutions, GK8 empowers clients to tap into DeFi across multiple ecosystems, using their own infrastructure, with no fragmented tooling or vendor risk.
