BREAKING: Mastercard is introducing always-on stablecoin settlement on Solana.
3.7 billion cards. 210+ countries. One of the largest payment networks on earth, now settling onchain.
Two days of real conversations at @tokennation_io
Presenting Defunds, discussing DeFi, and discovering even more real use cases for what we’re building.
The word is spreading. 🔨
Next Frontier category I looked at: DeFi 👇
515 projects entered this macro area across DeFi, Markets & Exchanges, Token Launch/Tokenomics and Stablecoins
After scrolling through the projects, this side of Frontier seems to be forming around a few clear DeFi primitives:
• Onchain funds need self-custody and transparent management
Example: @DefundsFinance, onchain asset management on Solana
• Credit needs proof, not just collateral
Example: @uLendMe, proof-backed launch capital for builders
• Token launches need better capital formation
Example: @sagapad_icm, a capital formation engine for Solana projects
• Perp markets want to be permissionless
Example: @PercolatorTrade, letting anyone launch perp markets for Solana tokens
• Yield needs to stay liquid and composable
Example: @backyard_fi, a yield manager for stablecoin, RWA and stock vaults
• DeFi credit needs to reach everyday spending
Example: @xplaceapp, a crypto credit card for spending without selling assets
• Stablecoins need local financial rails
Example: @norafinancexyz, Brazilian Real stablecoin infrastructure for neobanks
The strongest DeFi angle here is simple:
more financial products moving from speculation to usable rails.
What Frontier DeFi project are you watching most closely?

Maybe one of them is hiding among the 540 AI projects that entered Solana Frontier 👇
One of the biggest categories in the hackathon
After scrolling through the projects, a lot of it seems to be forming around agent primitives:
• Trading agents need brakes, not just alpha
Example: @0xGeckoRails, a strategy layer for autonomous trading agents
• Agents need permissions before they touch money
Example: @usekixa, permission controls for what agents can do on Solana
• Agents need native payment rails
Example: @ryvonetwork, an open agentic payment network
• Agents need security layers before they handle funds
Example: @bento_guard, a security layer for onchain AI agents
• Agents need capital and credit rails
Example: @krexa_xyz, credit infrastructure for AI agents on Solana
• Agents need marketplaces to work and get paid
Example: @Cogladius, an onchain arena for AI agents
• Agents need identity and reputation
Example: @Hyre_agent, an agent identity layer on Solana
I’m pretty convinced some important Solana projects will come out of this category
