Solana officially stated that it will vigorously promote the construction of fully on-chain perpetual contracts, aiming to become the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure

Solana's official announcement "Building Fully On-Chain Perpetual Contracts on Solana" aims to vigorously promote the ecological construction of fully on-chain perpetual contracts (Perps) in the future, with the goal of making Solana the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure. Currently, the trading volume of crypto derivatives is mainly concentrated on centralized trading platforms or hybrid models that rely on off-chain matching engines, which Solana believes is a transitional phase. It hopes to make a truly fully on-chain derivatives market a reality through the characteristics of high-performance blockchain—where all processes such as order submission, price updates, matching, and clearing are completed on-chain, while maintaining institutional-level speed and low costs.

The Solana Foundation will provide funding, technical support, and resource allocation, focusing on supporting projects that meet the following criteria: fully on-chain execution, price discovery based on real bilateral liquidity (rather than purely pool pricing), Solana priority with revenue flowing back on-chain, teams with derivatives experience, and core code being open source. It also welcomes the co-construction of surrounding infrastructure such as front ends, aggregators, vaults, and market-making tools.
