Wormhole Labs launched “Sunrise,” a Solana gateway that lets major assets list and trade on-chain from day one. The first listing is MON, the native token of the new Monad blockchain, which goes live for Solana users today. The aim is simple: remove slow, complex bridging so new tokens can appear with ready liquidity across Solana DeFi.
In its debut, Wormhole Labs introduce gateway that standardizes how outside tokens arrive on Solana. Sunrise uses Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers and integrates with apps like Jupiter and Orb, so assets can be swapped and tracked right away. The goal is to end “liquidity fragmentation,” where multiple wrapped versions of the same token split order books.
“Solana’s vision for internet capital markets means being the platform on which users can engage with any asset,” said Kuleen Nimkar, Growth Lead at the Solana Foundation. “Products like Sunrise are a critical part of enabling this future by giving non-native assets a seamless, high-liquidity path into the network from day one.”
The launch pairs with Monad’s mainnet event. CoinDesk detail launch of MON, noting initial supply and unlocks set in the project’s documentation. By syncing timelines, Sunrise gives Solana users immediate access to MON without leaving the ecosystem or juggling multiple bridges and wallets.
Industry outlets also report rollout, adding that Sunrise aims to be Solana’s “day-one listing platform,” with MON tradable against core pairs like USDC and SOL. If adoption grows, the standardized route could help future listings—tokens from other chains or even tokenized assets—arrive on Solana with faster, simpler market access.
