Wormhole Labs introduced the Sunrise platform on Sunday with the goal of becoming the primary entry point for new digital assets into the Solana ecosystem.
The platform introduces a unified gateway that allows issuers and users to move tokens from any ecosystem to the Solana blockchain.
The debut comes just before the arrival of Monad and its token, MON, on the mainnet on Monday. This gives Solana users day-1 access to the token without having to navigate the usual complex web of bridges and aggregators.
Sunrise targets a growing challenge within Solana’s fast-growing markets. While the chain has seen accelerating activity, new assets have struggled to effectively enter the ecosystem.
Users often face fragmented liquidity, multi-step bridging processes and limited trading venues in the early stages. Sunrise is positioning itself as Solana’s “canonical route” for new tokens, aiming to streamline that flow into a single, standardized interface.
Integrations with block explorer Orb and decentralized exchange Jupiter will also go live, so any cryptocurrency brought in through Sunrise can be immediately accessed and traded in the Solana ecosystem.
The team said it expects the first major test to take place when MON is introduced, allowing the token to move from Monad to Solana in one step.
“Solana’s vision for Internet Capital Markets means being the platform where users can engage with any asset, including non-Solana cryptoassets,” said Kuleen Nimkar, Growth Manager at Solana Foundation. “Products like Sunrise are a critical part of enabling this future by giving non-native new assets a seamless, high-liquidity path into the network from day one.”
