Quicknode Joins Solana Developer Platform as Blockchain Infrastructure Partner
Quicknode brings enterprise-grade Solana infrastructure to SDP, the new AI-ready platform helping institutions build financial products on Solana.
Quicknode is proud to be a launch partner for Solana Developer Platform (SDP), a new AI-ready developer platform from the Solana Foundation that gives enterprises and financial institutions everything they need to build and launch financial products on Solana through a single, unified, and familiar REST API.
SDP is a big deal for institutional adoption. Instead of stitching together multiple vendors for node access, wallets, compliance, and payment rails, enterprises can now access the best of the Solana ecosystem through one interface. Quicknode provides the blockchain infrastructure layer, abstracting away complexity so enterprise teams can start building with no-code or low-code approaches from day one.
What is SDP?
Solana Developer Platform aggregates best-in-class infrastructure across the Solana ecosystem into three core API modules:
- Issuance module for launching tokenized deposits, GENIUS-compliant stablecoins, or tokenized RWAs
- Payments module for orchestrating fiat and stablecoin flows including on-ramp, off-ramp, and onchain transactions across B2B, B2C, and P2P use cases
- Trading module (coming later in 2026) for atomic swaps, vaults, and onchain FX
The issuance and payments modules are live today.
Early users of SDP include Mastercard (stablecoin settlement), Worldpay (merchant payments and settlement), and Western Union (cross-border payments).
What Quicknode brings to SDP
Quicknode was one of the first global infrastructure providers to support Solana at scale, and we've been deeply embedded in the ecosystem ever since. As an enterprise-grade infrastructure partner, Quicknode powers the foundational data layer on which SDP runs. Our role is to ensure enterprises never have to worry about running nodes, managing RPC endpoints, or dealing with blockchain complexity. They gain deep Solana expertise without diverting their focus from business outcomes.
This goes well beyond basic RPC access. Quicknode's Solana infrastructure includes:
- RPC endpoints for reliable, low-latency access to Solana
- Streams for real-time, filtered blockchain data delivery without polling
- Webhooks for no-code, event-driven notifications of onchain activity
- Indexed Data for Solana including the Metaplex Digital Asset (DAS) API for fast, queryable access to historical and real-time onchain data
- Yellowstone Geyser gRPC for high-throughput, low-latency data access at scale
- Staking Platform for native SOL staking with a dedicated portal
- Trading through Metis Jupiter Swap API, Titan Swap API, Pump Fun API, and more
- Transaction optimization through JITO Bundles, Priority Fee API, and MEV Protection & Recovery
Why Quicknode
Performance matters when you're building financial products, and Quicknode consistently delivers low-latency Solana RPC across global regions. For enterprises entering Solana through SDP, that reliability is table stakes.
Quicknode is also SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 1, and ISO 27001 compliant, meeting the security and audit requirements that enterprises and financial institutions expect from their infrastructure partners. That combination of performance and compliance readiness removes friction from day one.
AI-ready infrastructure
SDP is designed to work with AI coding tools like Claude Code by Anthropic and Codex by OpenAI out of the box. Quicknode is building in the same direction. We already support x402 on Solana, letting AI agents pay for RPC access with USDC instead of managing API keys. We've open-sourced code-generation tools for both Solana and multichain development, and we're working to make every Quicknode capability accessible to agents natively.
As enterprises bring AI-powered development workflows into their Solana builds through SDP, Quicknode's infrastructure is already built to support both human developers and autonomous agents.
Why this matters
SDP represents a shift in how enterprises approach Solana. Instead of hiring blockchain-native engineering teams and building custom infrastructure stacks, institutions can now go from zero to production using familiar API patterns.
