Wormhole launches Solana’s day-one listing platform Sunrise DeFi, with Monad’s MON as first listing
Sunrise will go live as Solana’s new day-one listing platform, giving major assets a direct path to launch with ready liquidity.
- Sunrise creates a single route for new assets to launch on Solana with day-one liquidity.
- Monad’s MON is the first token supported, with trading live today.
- The platform uses Wormhole’s NTT framework to streamline cross-chain movement.
Wormhole Labs has introduced Sunrise, a Solana-native listing gateway that lets major new assets launch on Solana with immediate day-one liquidity, starting with Monad’s MON token.
Announced on Nov. 23, Sunrise is a dedicated liquidity route for new assets entering Solana.
Solana gets a new gateway for day-one listings
The platform builds on Wormhole’s ( W ) Native Token Transfer framework, allowing assets issued on external chains to arrive on Solana ( SOL ) without wrapped tokens, multi-bridge flows, or fragmented liquidity.
Sunrise is designed as a “day-one listing platform,” matching Solana’s need for a unified entry point where new tokens can become tradable across decentralized exchanges within hours.
Sunrise noted that assets can now “arrive on Solana immediately with ready and liquid markets,” positioning the platform as the standard path for future major listings.
The rollout coincides with Monad’s mainnet activation on Monday, Nov. 24. MON will become the first asset supported by Sunrise, enabling users to deposit MON from Monad to Solana and begin trading it against USDC, SOL, and other Solana assets on day one.
How Sunrise works and its role in Solana DeFi
Historically, many major launches often occurred on other chains first, pulling capital away from Solana and delaying liquidity formation. Solana users can now access new assets without leaving the ecosystem thanks to Sunrise.
The platform abstracts cross-chain flows so issuers can push tokens into Solana with a single action, while liquidity providers can seed pools in advance. Instead of using wrapped representations, tokens enter Solana natively through NTT, making trading and integration with current DeFi apps easier.
Early users can interact through the Sunrise dashboard or integrated tools such as Orb, which offers direct swaps and portfolio views. Sunrise will support a range of incoming assets, including layer-2 tokens, institutional assets, commodities, and tokenised equities.
If adoption grows, Sunrise could enhance Solana’s position as a liquidity hub. A standardized listing pathway lowers barriers for new projects and establishes a predictable environment for liquidity migration from other chains,
It also expands Wormhole’s role as a cross-chain primitive supporting Solana’s throughput and low-fee advantages.
