# Overview Nitro Labs has built and open-sourced a set of Solana extensions for the broader community. These tools allow developers to extend Solana applications with modular execution, privacy, or data-focused components, without deploying a separate chain or managing fragmented state. They are provided as OSS building blocks for teams that want deeper control over how their applications execute on Solana: * **Private or permissioned computation** – Run isolated workloads without modifying Solana’s state. * **Data-intensive networks** – Store, compress, and retrieve large volumes of off-chain data efficiently. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
