The foundation is pouring real money into open-source derivative protocols, with genuine bilateral liquidity and income flowing back on-chain—this is the proper infrastructure approach.

Solana announces plans to promote a fully on-chain perpetual contract ecosystem, striving to complete the entire process of order submission, price updates, matching, and liquidation on the chain, while maintaining institutional-level speed and low costs, with the goal of becoming the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure. The Solana Foundation will fund projects that are fully on-chain, use real bilateral liquidity pricing, have revenue flowing back on-chain, possess derivatives experience, and have core code open source, and welcomes collaboration on infrastructure such as front-end, aggregators, and vaults.
