Solana Foundation Unveils Atomic Settlement Program for Banks
Solana Foundation launched Solana DvP, an open-source delivery-versus-payment infrastructure designed for major financial institutions.

The non-profit organization, which focuses on the decentralization, growth, and security of the Solana network, unveiled the program in New York.
Delivery-versus-payment, or DvP, is a settlement mechanism that links the transfer of securities to the simultaneous transfer of payment, eliminating counterparty risk in financial transactions. By building this infrastructure on Solana's blockchain, the Foundation is positioning the network as a viable backbone for institutional-grade settlement operations.
