Cambrian and Ping Network Announce Partnership to Accelerate Decentralized Bandwidth Infrastructure on Solana

We at Cambrian are glad to announce a partnership with Ping Network, an innovative Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) focused on bandwidth. Together, we have successfully launched Ping Network’s decentralized validator and rewards distribution infrastructure as an NCN on Solana Devnet, setting a new standard for scalable, secure, and fair decentralized internet connectivity.

Ping Network aims to revolutionize the bandwidth market by leveraging a decentralized architecture powered by Solana and Jito Restaking. Utilizing the robust Cambrian Platform and Cambrian SDK (including CLI tools), Ping Network rapidly deployed a scalable validator infrastructure capable of handling millions of nodes, cross-validating node contributions, and securely managing reward distributions.

Cambrian platform streamlines the complex process of building NCNs, providing automated deployment for off-chain tasks, oracle integrations, and secure validation logic. This significantly reduces technical barriers and accelerates time-to-market for decentralized services. Cambrian seamlessly integrates with all Solana restaking protocols, allowing hundreds of new NCNs to emerge across the industry. This approach reduces complexity to a single script-based deployment and accelerates development for DePIN, DeFi, GameFi, and more.

“Cambrian’s tools drastically simplified our validator development, reducing complexity and enabling rapid deployment of our decentralized infrastructure,” said Nazar Fazylov, CEO of Ping Network. “This partnership is crucial to scaling Ping’s DePIN solution and providing businesses and users globally with truly decentralized and reliable bandwidth services.”

Ping Network leverages Cambrian’s platform to operate validators and decentralized Proof-of-Authority (PoA) governance models that enhance economic security through Jito Restaking. Currently live on Solana Devnet, this staged rollout ensures that Ping Network’s decentralized services remain secure, transparent, and economically robust, providing participants with confidence in the fairness and accuracy of bandwidth reward distributions.

“Our collaboration with Ping Network showcases the power of Cambrian’s streamlined NCN development tools to rapidly build and deploy sophisticated decentralized solutions, especially within the rapidly growing DePIN sector,” stated Gena Evstratov, CEO of Cambrian. “We're excited to support Ping Network in delivering scalable and secure decentralized bandwidth, ultimately advancing the broader Solana ecosystem.”

This partnership lays the groundwork for significant joint expansions, with plans to deploy on Solana Testnet in late Q2 2025, followed by a Mainnet launch targeted for early summer 2025. Additionally, the teams aim to introduce advanced mechanisms such as interactive verification protocols and reputation-based incentive models, thus further securing and optimizing network performance.
