Solana Foundation is making a clear push toward fully onchain derivatives markets. The announcement says the network wants to support teams building perps and related products that keep execution, settlement, and price discovery onchain. That is a meaningful signal for the ecosystem because it frames onchain integrity as the target state rather than a compromise.
The post calls for fully onchain execution, competitive price discovery, Solana-first development, innovation, experienced teams, and open source. It also says the Foundation is prepared to support these teams through distribution, technical assistance, and capital.
This should concentrate more derivatives infrastructure around Solana and encourage teams to move away from hybrid systems that rely on offchain sequencers or matching engines. It also reinforces Solana's push to become the venue for demanding financial markets, not just consumer DeFi.
Teams building perps, vaults, aggregators, frontends, or market-making tools should read the support criteria and assess whether their architecture is truly onchain-first. Builders with existing hybrid perps systems may want to use this as a trigger to plan migration work.
