Sunrise Goes Live as Solana’s New Day-One Listing Platform, Bringing Immediate Liquidity for Major Assets
Summary
• Sunrise introduces a unified route for new assets to launch on Solana with day-one liquidity
• Monad’s MON is the first token supported, with trading live today
• Powered by Wormhole’s Native Token Transfer (NTT) framework for seamless, non-wrapped cross-chain movement
Wormhole Labs has officially launched Sunrise, a Solana-native listing gateway designed to allow major assets to debut on Solana with instant liquidity and same-day trading support. The first token to use the new infrastructure is MON, the native asset of Monad, which becomes tradable on Solana starting today.
A New Standard for Day-One Listings on Solana
Announced on November 23, Sunrise provides a single, dedicated liquidity route that projects can use to bring tokens into the Solana ecosystem. This eliminates the fragmented processes that previously relied on multiple bridges, wrapped assets, or parallel liquidity sources.
Sunrise is built on Wormhole’s Native Token Transfer (NTT) framework, enabling tokens that originate on other chains to arrive on Solana natively, not as wrapped copies. This significantly reduces complexity for both projects and users while strengthening liquidity depth across Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.
Why Sunrise Matters
Historically, many high-profile token launches happened first on other chains. Solana users often needed to bridge assets or wait for liquidity to form—creating delays and splitting capital across ecosystems.
Sunrise changes that dynamic by ensuring:
• Immediate tradability across Solana DEXs
• Faster liquidity bootstrapping
• Removal of multi-bridge risks
• Better integration with existing DeFi protocols
Sunrise positions itself as the default pathway for new tokens entering Solana, bringing consistency to listing infrastructure and reducing friction for teams seeking broad market access.
MON Becomes the First Asset on Sunrise
Sunrise launches just as Monad activates its mainnet on November 24, making MON the inaugural supported asset. Users can now move MON from Monad to Solana and begin trading it against USDC, SOL, and other Solana-native tokens immediately.
Trading and transfers can be executed through:
• The dedicated Sunrise dashboard
• Integrated panels such as Orb, which offer portfolio management, swaps, and tracking tools
How Sunrise Works
Projects can onboard their token to Solana with a single action via NTT. Liquidity providers can pre-seed pools before trading opens, ensuring that markets are ready the moment assets arrive.
Because assets enter Solana as native tokens, Sunrise allows seamless integration with the entire Solana DeFi stack, including DEXs, lending protocols, and liquidity providers.
Future Impact
Sunrise aims to support a wide range of asset types, including:
• Layer-2 ecosystem tokens
• Institutional and real-world assets
• Commodity-based tokens
• Tokenized equities
If adoption accelerates, Sunrise could significantly strengthen Solana’s role as a global liquidity hub, offering predictable on-chain infrastructure for new market entrants. It also deepens Wormhole’s position as a leading cross-chain middleware layer, benefiting from Solana’s high throughput and low fees.
