Sunrise brand from Wormhole Labs has unveiled a public unified gateway. It delivers external assets directly to the Solana Network (SOL) with instant liquidity.

This service is designed to address a long-standing infrastructure gap in Solana: the lack of a standardized, seamless entry point for new tokens, whether from Ethereum (ETH) L2, Monad or institutional blockchains.

The launch is timed to coincide with the release of MON, one of the most anticipated tokens of the year, giving users the opportunity to purchase MON on Solana immediately after its launch. The token will be available via Sunrise and on Orb, providing first day access on key Solana platforms.

Solana continues to strengthen its position as a high-performance hub for marketplace operations.

According to Messari, total DeFi volume on Solana increased 32.7% quarter-over-quarter to $11.5 billion, with average daily spot trading volume on DEX reaching $4 billion in the third quarter of 2025.

However, asset onboarding has lagged behind growth, with users often having to navigate multiple bridges, aggregators and wallets, and liquidity often fragmented or unavailable on the day an asset is launched.

Sunrise offers a unified, standardized channel that allows issuers and liquidity providers to bring assets to Solana and launch markets from day one. Initial support includes major Solana platforms such as Orb, Jupiter, and other DeFi protocols that have pledged to list assets coming through Sunrise.

The gateway’s debut will be immediately tested on the MON token, which is expected to generate high user interest. Sunrise enables Solana users to access MON without leaving the ecosystem through two main scenarios:

Once MON is integrated into Solana through Sunrise, it becomes available for exchange, lending and borrowing across Solana’s broader DeFi stack.

While MON is the first significant asset coming through Sunrise, the infrastructure itself is designed for a wider range of onchain assets – from new tokens on other platforms to tokenized commodities, shares and real-world assets (RWAs) issued on corporate networks.

The solution is in line with Solana’s vision of an “Internet Capital Market”: a future where users, issuers and institutions can trade any asset in a single global ledger.

Sunrise provides the necessary infrastructure to ensure that new assets can be added to Solana with liquidity and immediate access across the ecosystem.

Sunrise is the asset tokenization layer for Solana, designed to ensure that new assets on the network – cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities and other instruments – become available on Solana with liquidity overnight. This gives users and developers instant access to active, tradable markets across the ecosystem. Sunrise is developed by Wormhole Labs.

Wormhole Labs is a technology firm focused on creating products, tools and reference implementations that enhance the cross-chain ecosystem.

Sunrise offers a single interface for moving assets from their source chains to Solana, abstracting away the complexity of bridges, routing logic and liquidity paths.

It leverages the Wormhole infrastructure to ensure assets arrive securely and are immediately usable in Solana’s DEX, wallets and applications.
