Solana Foundation has launched SDP, a blockchain platform integrating AI and compliance, which has already been implemented by Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union.
The Solana Foundation has officially introduced the Solana Developer Platform (SDP), a next-generation blockchain infrastructure designed specifically for banks and large enterprises. Instead of forcing financial institutions to build from scratch, the SDP provides a unified set of APIs integrated with over 20 infrastructure partners, significantly shortening time to market.
Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union have deployed this platform for stablecoin payments and cross-border transactions, clearly demonstrating that SDP has moved beyond the testing phase and into practical application.
SDP is structured as a modular system comprising three core components. The asset issuance module enables the creation of stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and physical assets (RWA). The payment module handles the entire transaction lifecycle, from fiat currency to stablecoins, including in/out gateways and B2B, B2C, and P2P flows. The trading module, scheduled for deployment in 2026, will support Atomic Swaps and foreign exchange (FX) trading. The first two modules are commercially ready and running on the Devnet environment.
Compliance and privacy infrastructure — key factors in retaining businesses.
What sets SDP apart from conventional blockchain solutions is its built-in compliance layer, rather than requiring businesses to add it later. The platform includes customer verification tools (KYC, KYB), Travel Rule compliance, and transaction monitoring systems, all functioning as an integral part of the ecosystem, not as an external add-on.
SDP also integrates with AI-powered development tools from OpenAI and Anthropic, unlocking the potential for automating complex financial processes.
In terms of privacy, Solana employs a multi-layered architecture: from pseudo-anonymous transactions to completely private operations based on Cryptology and distributed computing. This structure allows each business to tailor the balance between transparency and security according to the legal requirements and business strategies of each market.
The launch of SDP took place in a favorable operating environment: the Solana network processed over 100 million transactions per day with confirmation latency of approximately 200 milliseconds and costs amounting to a fraction of a US cent.
In particular, the volume of stablecoins on Solana exceeded $1 trillion in 2025, a figure that not only reflects the scale but also shows that the market is mature enough to embrace a standardized infrastructure specifically for corporate finance.
From that perspective, SDP is not just a technical product, but also a statement of Solana 's ambition in the race to become the next-generation global payment class.
