Light Protocol is a Solana-focused technology project building infrastructure and APIs designed to make it less costly to scale applications. Its central offering is ZK Compression, which supports use cases involving payments, privacy, and program-derived addresses (PDAs) on Solana. The project presents its tools as building blocks for developers seeking to create or expand Solana applications, with documentation and a “Start Building” pathway available to help users explore the technology.

Light Protocol’s product areas include payments, developer tooling, PDA accounts, and zero-knowledge primitives. These offerings bring together practical application categories and foundational cryptographic tools, with the stated aim of supporting more affordable scaling. The site also provides a “Learn More” option and company contact information for visitors seeking further details. Light Protocol has announced that it is joining Helius, connecting its work with the Solana ecosystem company. Overall, the brand focuses on developer infrastructure for Solana, combining ZK-based compression with APIs and tools for payments, privacy, and PDA-related use cases.
