The Solana Foundation, a non-profit focused on the decentralisation and growth of the Solana blockchain, has launched the Solana Developer Platform (SDP), intended to easily allow institutions to build and launch financial products on Solana.
The platform is powered solely by APIs — with an issuance, payments, and trading module at its core — unifying infrastructure from throughout the Solana ecosystem into a single interface.
SDP infrastructure partners were chosen across four categories: node infrastructure, wallets, compliance, and ramps, and include Alchemy, Anchorage Digital, Chainalysis, and Moonpay, among others.
By having its infrastructure partners’ services in a single platform, Solana intends for SDP to simplify “the onboarding experience for enterprises while funnelling activity into the broader Solana ecosystem”.
Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union are early adopters of SDP, with use cases ranging from stablecoin settlement to cross-border payments, according to the firm.
Speaking on the launch, Catherine Gu, head of product, digital assets, Solana Foundation, comments: “Solana Developer Platform provides an easy gateway for any financial institution to build on Solana from day one.
“It is entirely API-based, removing the technical and operational barriers that enterprise developers may encounter.”
Issuance and payments modules are currently live, with trading to follow later on in 2026, as reported by Solana.
