Upgrading to Solana: A New Chapter for Soarchain




At Soarchain, we’ve always envisioned a world where vehicles are more than just modes of transportation. We see them as smart platforms that seamlessly share data, driving innovation, improving safety, and enhancing mobility for everyone. Today, we’re excited to announce a significant step toward realizing that vision: Soarchain is upgrading to Solana.


This migration is more than just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic move that allows Soarchain to align with a more mature, decentralized ecosystem designed for the future of real-world applications. As we move to Solana, our mission to transform mobility through secure, real-time data sharing remains stronger than ever.


Soarchain’s Vision: Stronger Than Ever


Our core vision is clear: Soarchain connects vehicles, data, and infrastructure to build a smarter, safer, and more connected transportation system. From real-time data sharing to AI-powered applications, we’re creating an ecosystem where vehicles generate valuable insights that improve mobility for everyone.

Whether it’s usage-based insurance, predictive maintenance, or AI-driven road monitoring, Soarchain continues to focus on turning vehicles into data hubs that fuel the next generation of mobility solutions. As we transition to Solana, we retain our focus on decentralized, real-time data sharing, while leveraging the strengths of Solana’s infrastructure to drive our mission forward.


Why Solana?


The decision to migrate to Solana was driven by several key factors that align with Soarchain’s long-term goals:


  1. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) Ecosystem: Solana is emerging as a hub for DePIN projects, providing Soarchain with the resources and community needed to foster innovation. This move allows Soarchain to integrate with a thriving ecosystem of decentralized applications, ensuring that our platform remains adaptable and future-proof.

  2. Ecosystem Growth: With Solana’s established and engaged user base, Soarchain will be able to tap into a wider audience of developers, users, and mobility enthusiasts. This enables us to bring new features, products, and applications to market faster and with greater adoption.

  3. Enhanced Decentralization and Security: Solana’s infrastructure allows Soarchain to maintain a fully decentralized network while leveraging Guardians—a key component of our security architecture. These Guardian nodes will ensure that all data passing through the network is verified, secure, and aligned with our decentralized ethos. Our Runner infrastructure will continue to provide the computational power needed for advanced AI and mobility applications, keeping the network secure and efficient.


By making this move, Soarchain strengthens its foundation as a decentralized mobility network, ensuring that we continue to deliver on our mission while adapting to the future needs of mobility and data-driven applications.


Existing Users: Genesis Drop and What’s Next


We’re excited to assure our existing users that there’s nothing they need to do immediately to continue benefiting from Soarchain’s ecosystem. Your Soarchain Minis will continue to function as they always have, and the Genesis Drop will be distributed as originally planned.


Before the mainnet launch, users will need to bind their current wallets with a Solana wallet, but details about this process will be shared in due time. Additionally, the Guardians in our new architecture will include the current testnet validators, ensuring that those who have already been supporting the network will continue to play a crucial role in securing Soarchain as we transition.


Moving Forward: Decentralization and the Future of Soarchain


As part of our migration, Soarchain remains fully decentralized. The introduction of Guardian nodes enhances the network’s integrity by securing all data passing through Soarchain. Proof of Availability (PoA) rewards will continue to be distributed efficiently. 


Our Runner infrastructure remains a key part of the Soarchain network, ensuring that data is not only verified but also powering AI-driven applications that require heavy computational resources. These components keep Soarchain at the forefront of decentralized mobility, making sure we stay true to our principles of security, transparency, and user empowerment.


Key Dates for the Transition


Here’s a look at the key milestones ahead as we complete the migration to Solana:


Mainnet: 25th October ~ 8th November


Token Generation Event (TGE): 8th November


Closing


This migration isn’t just an upgrade—it’s the beginning of an even stronger, more scalable Soarchain. By transitioning to Solana, we’re unlocking new opportunities for innovation, security, and growth while staying true to our decentralized vision. With enhanced features, a thriving ecosystem, and continued community support, Soarchain is poised to revolutionize mobility like never before. Together, we’re building a smarter, more connected world—and the best is yet to come.
