What Sunrise is (and isn’t)
Sunrise is not a bridge, not a market maker, and not a launchpad. It is the layer that ties all of those together. A bridge moves tokens between chains; Sunrise coordinates everything required for a real, tradable market to exist on Solana from the first minute: canonical asset creation, liquidity provision, and ecosystem-wide distribution.Why it exists
Blockchain’s promise is an open economy: open markets where assets move freely and trade continuously, in one connected place. Most new assets don’t launch into a market like that. They arrive scattered across chains and unofficial wrappers, with thin liquidity and no canonical version, disconnected from where onchain activity actually happens. Solana is where much of that activity lives: deep liquidity, continuous markets, and the wallets, DEXs, and traders of the onchain economy in one place. Sunrise brings new assets into it from day one, so an asset meets the open market the moment it goes live, instead of waiting for the market to find it.Track record
Sunrise launched on November 24, 2025, with Monad’s MON token, a pre-TGE asset that Sunrise listed on Solana from minute one. MON did $87M in Solana 24-hour volume and $240M in cumulative volume over the first seven days. Solana’s 24-hour spot volumes exceeded centralized exchanges such as Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, and Gate. As of June 2026, the biggest trading day for Sunrise saw nearly $200M in volume and $2B in trailing 30-day volume.Integrated across Solana
Sunrise-listed assets are integrated across the Solana ecosystem, including Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Jupiter, Titan, DFlow, Mayan, Meteora, Orca, Raydium, Kamino, and Portal.Who’s behind Sunrise
Sunrise is incubated by Wormhole Labs and built on Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure. See Infrastructure & security for details.Next steps
