Solmate Confirms UAE-Based Solana Validator At 100% Functionality Following Recent Regional Events

Continues Fee-Free Staking and Industry-Leading Performance

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solmate Infrastructure (Brera Holdings PLC, NASDAQ: SLMT), a leading Solana infrastructure company with a strategic focus on Abu Dhabi, today confirmed that its UAE-based Solana validator operations remain 100% functional following recent regional events. The Company's bare-metal infrastructure, housed in high-security facilities, has not been impacted by recent attacks on cloud service providers in the region.

“While some providers have experienced disruptions, Solmate's validator is fully operational and has not been affected by any attacks in the region,” said Marco Santori, CEO of Solmate. “Our strategy to deploy bare-metal hardware in high-security facilities rather than relying on cloud-based instances has proven its resilience even during unrest in the region. The UAE’s infrastructure is world class, and our validator continues to offer the fee-free staking the Solana ecosystem has come to expect.”

Solmate’s purpose-built, bare-metal deployment ensures operational independence from cloud service providers and delivers superior performance for exchanges, traders, and market makers requiring low-latency access to the Solana network.

"The UAE is a leader for a reason, and recent events have reinforced our conviction in it as our strategic home," added Santori. "The region's infrastructure capabilities, regulatory framework, and commitment to blockchain innovation remain second-to-none, and we applaud actions the UAE government has taken to protect its residents.”
