The Solana Foundation has launched the Solana Developer Platform (SDP), an enterprise-focused API platform designed to help financial institutions build blockchain-based products. The platform consolidates over 20 infrastructure partners and offers three core modules: live issuance and payments APIs, and a trading module slated for 2026. Early institutional adopters exploring the platform include Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union.
The Solana Foundation recently announced the launch of the Solana Developer Platform (SDP). This API-driven infrastructure is designed to help organizations and financial institutions build and launch blockchain-based financial products.
SDP is an enterprise-focused development platform that consolidates several blockchain services into a single API layer. The platform is designed to be “AI-ready,” which means it can integrate with other developer tools and automation systems.
SDP offers three main modules with the issuance and payment modules currently live. The trading module is set to be launched in 2026.
The issuance module enables tokenized deposits and assets and supports stablecoins under regulatory environments. The payments module enables fiat and stable coin transactions and supports on-ramp and off-ramp services.
The future trading module will support complex financial operations like atomic swaps and on-chain FX. It is designed for complex trading operations.
Early institutional adopters exploring the platform include Mastercard for stablecoin settlement, Worldpay for merchant payments, and Western Union for cross-border payments.
SDP integrates over 20 infrastructure partners across categories like wallets & custody, compliance, ramps, and node infrastructure. By consolidating these services, SDP reduces onboarding complexity and speeds up product development.
The platform focuses on regulatory compliance and scalability while utilizing Solana’s high-speed network. It also integrates with AI-based coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex to aid development.
