The Solana Foundation announced on Tuesday the Solana Developer Platform (SDP), an application programming interface (API) toolset aimed to assist corporations and financial institutions in developing and deploying blockchain-native products on the newly released platform.
Framed as an “AI-ready” environment, SDP boasts key infrastructure across the Solana ecosystem into a single interface intended to lower technical and operational barriers for institutional builders while ensuring compliance and scale.
Solana Dev. Platform BreakdownThe payments module supports orchestration of fiat and stablecoin flows — including on-ramps, off-ramps, and on-chain stablecoin transactions — to power business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and peer-to-peer (P2P) payment scenarios.
Catherine Gu, Head of Product, Digital Assets at the Solana Foundation, emphasized that SDP aggregates protocol features such as token extensions for permissioning and privacy and directly integrates with Solana’s developer ecosystem.
She noted the platform’s initial partner integrations and said the level of early interest from enterprises demonstrates strong demand for a simplified, compliant path to building on Solana.
Mastercard And Western Union Join SDP PilotsAs 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.
To meet institutional needs, Solana selected a slate of infrastructure partners across four categories: node infrastructure, wallets, compliance, and ramps.
Node providers such as Alchemy, Helius, QuickNode, and Triton are intended to abstract blockchain complexity and enable no-code or low-code onboarding.
The wallet cohort — including Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Coinbase, Crossmint, Dfns, Dynamic, and others — offers custody and experimentation options.
The platform also supports out-of-the-box use by artificial intelligence coding tools such as Claude Code by Anthropic and Codex by OpenAI.
