The debut comes just before the arrival of Monad and its token, MON, on mainnet on Monday. This gives Solana users day-one access to the token without have to navigate the usual complex web of bridges and aggregators.

Sunrise targets a growing challenge inside Solana’s fast-expanding markets. While the chain has seen accelerating activity, new assets have struggled to make their way into the ecosystem efficiently.

Users often face fragmented liquidity, multistep bridging processes, and limited early stage trading venues. Sunrise positions 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 go live as well, 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 occur 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 on which users can engage with any asset, including crypto assets that aren’t originated on Solana,” said Kuleen Nimkar, the growth lead at the 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.”
