Lightspark Joins Solana Developer Platform as an Infrastructure Partner
Today, we're excited to announce that Lightspark is joining Solana Developer Platform (SDP) as an infrastructure partner — bringing Lightspark Grid's global money movement capabilities directly to Solana developers and enterprises.
What is SDP?
Solana Developer Platform is an AI-ready, API-first platform designed to help enterprises and financial institutions build and launch financial products on Solana. SDP aggregates best-in-class infrastructure across the Solana ecosystem into a single, unified interface — covering issuance, payments, and trading — so teams can get to market faster without stitching together dozens of providers.
What Lightspark Brings to SDP
Through this integration, Solana developers building on SDP will have access to Lightspark Grid — our modular API platform for real-time global money movement across fiat, stablecoins, and Bitcoin.
What this means in practice: developers using SDP can now tap into Grid to buy and sell BTC and access Grid's full suite of payment capabilities directly through the SDP SDK. No separate integration required.
We're starting with devnet and sandbox access — and the integration is already fully live. The next phase will move Grid into production within SDP, giving developers a seamless path from prototyping to scale.
Why This Matters
Enterprises building tokenized deposits, stablecoins and cross-border payments still need reliable infrastructure to connect onchain activity to real-world money movement.
That's exactly what Grid does. It connects 65+ countries, over 14,000 banks and wallets, and moves value in real time — whether that's fiat-to-fiat, fiat-to-crypto, or stablecoin-to-Bitcoin. By embedding Grid into SDP, we're making it dramatically easier for Solana developers to build products that move money globally from day one.
What's Next
This is just the beginning of Lightspark's presence in the Solana ecosystem. As we move into production, expect deeper integrations, expanded corridor coverage, and new capabilities purpose-built for the enterprise use cases SDP is designed to serve.
