The Solana Foundation launched the Solana Developer Platform (SDP), bundling 20+ technology partners into a single API-driven interface for enterprises to build stablecoin settlement, cross-border payments, and tokenized real-world assets on Solana. Mastercard is exploring stablecoin settlement, Western Union is testing cross-border payments, and Worldpay is building merchant settlement and tokenized assets. The platform notably integrates Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex for AI-assisted blockchain development.
