Solana Foundation today announced the launch of Solana Developer Platform (SDP) – an AI-ready developer platform for enterprises and financial institutions to easily build and launch financial products on Solana, powered entirely by APIs. SDP aggregates best-in-class infrastructure across the Solana ecosystem into a single, unified interface that enterprises and institutions can use to get to market in an efficient, compliant and scalable manner.
SDP has three core API modules that enable a range of use cases:
- Issuance module: Enables users to issue a tokenized deposit, GENIUS-compliant stablecoin, or tokenized RWA
- Payments module: Allows users to orchestrate fiat and stablecoin flows, including on-ramp, off-ramp and stablecoin onchain transactions, to support a range of use cases including B2B, B2C, P2P
- Trading module: Enables users to support financial flows such as atomic swaps, vaults and onchain FX.
The issuance and payments modules are live today, with the trading module to follow later in 2026. Together, these modules allow enterprises to design, deploy and scale institutional-grade blockchain solutions with ease.
Early users of SDP include: Mastercard, for stablecoin settlement, Worldpay, for merchant payments and settlement, and Western Union, for cross-border payments.
Catherine Gu, Head of Product, Digital Assets, Solana Foundation, commented: “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. SDP aggregates the latest protocol features on the Solana network, such as token extensions for permissioning and privacy, and directly connects with Solana’s rich developer ecosystem. At launch, we have over 20 different infrastructure partners integrated and the early interest we’ve seen from enterprises and institutions signals strong demand.”
SDP infrastructure partners were chosen across four categories – node infrastructure, wallets, compliance and ramps – to specifically address the needs of institutions coming to market:
| Node Infrastructure | Abstracts away blockchain complexity from the user experience, making it easy for enterprises to start building with no-code or low-code | Alchemy Helius Quicknode Triton |
|---|---|---|
| Wallets | Provides a rich selection of custody solutions so enterprises can experiment with various offerings and use cases | Anchorage Digital BitGo Coinbase Crossmint Dfns Dynamic Fireblocks Para Paxos Privy Turnkey |
| Compliance | Ensures institutions remain compliant from day-one, across KYC / KYB / Travel Rule, etc. | Chainalysis Elliptic Range TRM |
| Ramps | Enables different payment flows for on/off ramp and stablecoin payments within the payments module. | Bridge BVNK Lightspark Modern Treasury MoonPay |
By aggregating infrastructure partners’ services into a single API-driven platform, SDP simplifies the onboarding experience for enterprises while funneling activity into the broader Solana ecosystem. At launch, SDP is available in a sandbox built on Solana devnet.
Additionally, Solana Developer Platform can be used out of the box by AI coding platforms like Claude Code by Anthropic and Codex by OpenAI.
As Solana continues to be the most trusted and innovative infrastructure for payments and financial companies worldwide, SDP provides an accessible and familiar experience for institutions and enterprises to start building products on Solana today.
“The next phase of digital asset innovation will be defined by practical use cases that integrate seamlessly with existing financial systems. As an early user of Solana Developer Platform, we're helping enable direct stablecoin settlement for customers on select blockchain networks — beginning with Solana — combining the speed and programmability of blockchain with the reliability, security and global reach of the Mastercard network.” – Raj Dhamodharan, Executive Vice President, Blockchain & Digital Assets, Mastercard
“Solana Developer Platform lets us extend what Western Union already does best—moving money reliably across borders—by adding an API‑driven, on‑chain layer that can orchestrate fiat and stablecoin flows end‑to‑end. It’s not a replacement for our network; it’s a modern extension that helps us innovate faster, expand new use cases, and bring more cross‑border activity on‑chain in a scalable, compliant way.” – Malcolm Clarke, VP Digital Assets, Western Union
"By leveraging SDP’s payments and issuance modules, Worldpay can offer merchants seamless access to on-chain settlement and tokenized assets, paving the way for new business models and unlocking the full potential of digital assets in everyday commerce.” – Ahmed Zifzaf, Head of Crypto Partnerships, Worldpay
