Listing suspended on 2026-09-14
The principal contributor, Anza Technology, Inc., states in its terms of use that it is based in California, but its only published address (6977 Navajo Rd #1003, San Diego) is recorded by the Texas Comptroller as a private mailbox (PMB 1003), so no physical US headquarters is evidenced (Test 1). Its Delaware incorporation is reported by a single press source (Fortune), with no primary document or second independent source (Test 4). No founder evidence (Test 2) and no primary document or two independent sources evidencing US engineering, governance, or regulatory engagement by Anza (Test 3) was found; Solana Labs, Inc., not Anza, attended the June 2025 SEC Crypto Task Force meeting. Market data is withheld until verification meets the USCC evidence standard.

2026-09-14 · correction
Principal contributor corrected from Solana Labs to Anza Technology, Inc. (Agave client maintainer since the January 2024 spin-out); removed the claim that SEC litigation over SOL is ongoing (SEC v. Coinbase and SEC v. Binance were both dismissed in 2025); removed unsourced audits, investors and founder roles. Anza's San Diego address removed as headquarters evidence after the Texas Comptroller record showed it is a private mailbox.
