Solana Breakpoint 2025: Key Announcements and Speeches of the Second Day

• During the second day of Solana Breakpoint 2025, it became known about the launch of Firedancer on the mainnet, a new token from Light Protocol, and the RWA release of R3.
• Jupiter also presented major updates.
• Phantom announced the opening of forecasting markets in cooperation with Kalshi.

The crypto industry’s attention is focused on the key technical and product announcements of the second day of the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference, which is taking place in Abu Dhabi from December 11 to 13. The Incrypted team attended the event and collected the main announcements. The full broadcast is available here.

The second day of the event was opened on the big stage by Solana Labs co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, who discussed the evolution of the ecosystem and announced Solana Breakpoint 2026 in London.

After three years of development, Jump Crypto’s high-performance validation client Firedancer has been officially launched on the Solana mainnet. It has been running for more than 100 days on a limited number of validators and has successfully generated 50,000 blocks.

Unlike the previous hybrid tests — Frankendancer and non-voting nodes — the client is now fully operational.

In September, the Jump Crypto team proposed to change the approach to block limits to increase network capacity. The SIMD-0370 proposal calls for the removal of fixed limits on computing blocks and incentives to upgrade outdated validator hardware. Some in the community have warned that this could carry centralization risks.

The functionality of betting on live events has become one of the trends of the day. For example, crypto wallet Phantom announced the integration of tokenized prediction markets from Kalshi and dFlow.

The company stated:

Earlier, Trust Wallet launched its own prediction market through integrations with Myriad, Kalshi, and Polymarket, so bets can now be placed directly from the wallet.

MetaMask has also added prediction markets by integrating Polymarket into its mobile app.

The Light Protocol project has introduced Light Token, a new token standard on Solana that, according to the developers, is “200 times cheaper than SPL” in on-chain account allocation and fully compatible with DeFi.

The technology allows you to avoid rental payments thanks to a special mechanism for subsidizing and compressing cold accounts.

The Light Token is already available on Devnet, and the mainnet launch is expected “soon.”

The corporate giant R3 has announced the launch of Corda Protocol, which is entirely built on Solana.

The solution should provide institutional-level RWA revenue integrated into Solana DeFi and simplify the work with real assets for both issuers and investors.

Bitget has announced the launch of UEX (Universal Exchange), a tool that allows more than 100 million users to trade any Solana token without a traditional listing.

Bitget CEO Gracie Chen explained:

The Jupiter team held the largest presentation of the day, announcing several products and upgrades at once:

• Jupiter Lend — out of beta and open source. It was the first to reach $1 billion in total supply in just 8 days
• JupUSD — a new stablecoin deeply integrated into the entire Jupiter stack; launching next week
• VRFD — an updated token verification system that extends Jupiter Verify to a full-fledged data layer. The system is designed to combat the scale of fake tokens (almost 30,000 launches per day)
• Developer Platform — a single portal for API analytics, logs, usage metrics, and debugging
• Terminal — a professional trading terminal on Solana with OCO orders, partial fills, real-time wallet analytics, and insights from Alphascan
• Rewards Hub — an updated reward system with a single pool of $1 million
• Rainfi Acquisition — Jupiter acquires Rain.fi to build a universal money market that can work with any asset. The new product will be launched in the first quarter of 2026
