RedDuck runs 10 Rust engineers on Solana work — original Anchor programs, not forks, plus the off-chain half that actually keeps Solana products alive: indexers, keepers, and executor services. The portfolio is named and live: an index-token protocol with staking and DAO governance, prediction and betting economies settled by Pyth and Switchboard oracles, and consumer products like Prophet.fun and WARPR. Hiring Rust developers for Solana here means one team owns the programs, the services around them, and the deployment — with the same audit-ready baseline the company applies across 100+ mainnet deliveries.
A stable Solana bench — Anchor engineers plus the backend and indexer engineers your product needs — working against your roadmap. Composition shifts as the protocol grows: program-heavy early, service-heavy once mainnet traffic arrives.
Best for: Solana products in motion: new programs, new markets, and an off-chain fleet that needs constant care.
A scoped Solana engagement: programs designed and written in Anchor, tested against local validators and devnet, the supporting services built, and the whole system handed over with keys and infrastructure.
Best for: A defined build — a token economy, a betting protocol, a trading system — with a hard scope and a clean handover.
Stack counts overlap — the same engineers ship on more than one stack. These are company-wide facts, not the size of a single project team: your team is assembled from this bench to match the scope.
Solana engineering here is Anchor-native: account model and PDA design, token economies on SPL, oracle-priced settlement, and Merkle-tree distribution at scale. Just as important is the part most benches skip — the off-chain monorepos of keepers, arbitrage and payout services, price updaters, and indexers that production Solana systems stand on. The projects below are original programs written for their products, not forks with a new logo.
Original Anchor programs: an index token minted against a basket of Raydium-traded assets priced by TWAP NAV, staking with vote-escrowed governance, a DAO, and a monorepo of NestJS keeper services with KMS-managed signing.

Timed prediction rounds — lock, bet, settle, refund — on top of a season-based token economy with referral accounts, Merkle-tree reward distribution, and vesting, shipped as a full product with games and presale backends.

A prediction-market platform around Solana memecoins: Anchor programs hold market state and settlement, TypeScript services and a trading interface complete the product.

Round-based betting settled against real price feeds instead of a house server — Pyth (Hermes client and Solana receiver) and Switchboard On-Demand price the rounds; the program controls operator, treasury, and fee bounds.

A Solana program without its services is a demo. The index-token protocol above runs as a monorepo of independently deployable NestJS services — arbitrage and payout, keeper, mint/redeem executor, price updater, rebalancer, and a Solana indexer — over PostgreSQL and Redis, with KMS-managed signing. When you hire Solana developers here, that operational layer is in scope by default, because that is where production systems actually live or die.
The Rust bench is not single-chain. The same team has shipped CosmWasm contracts for Injective — CW20 interfaces, staking and vesting primitives rebuilt for a Cosmos app-chain — and a custom Substrate L1 with bespoke FRAME pallets carrying the economic design. If your roadmap crosses ecosystems, the Rust fluency travels with it instead of stopping at the Solana runtime.
Engineers on the call from day one: we map the program architecture, the accounts model, and the off-chain surface before anyone talks contracts or timelines.
A named composition matched to the scope — Anchor engineers, backend engineers for the service layer, QA — with an architecture take attached for your approval.
Programs, tests, and services land together in short iterations: local-validator test suites, devnet deployments, and indexers built alongside the programs they observe.
Deployment with full authority handover — program upgrade authority, service infrastructure, and repositories transferred to you, with a warranty window after release.
What da quack?
Tell us what you're building on Solana. We'll come back with a program architecture take and a named team composition — not a rate card.
