Technical Leap: Faster, Smarter, and Ready for DeFi Solana Native

Neon EVM’s tech stack just levelled up: The Solana Signature SDK, Infrastructure upgrades like Devnet optimizations and RocksDB/Protobuf migration turbocharge performance, while Raydium SDK integration, deploying a stableswap demo, and ERC20ForSPL audits ensure secure, scalable liquidity. Build faster, smarter, and Solana-native. Here’s a list of everything-tech we’ve achieved this month:

1. Solana Signature & SDK Enhancements

   • Expanded React/Vue framework examples for broader integration.
   • Optimized multi-transaction cost estimation (including Solana transactions).
   • Launched Solana Signature SDK UI Demo (Phantom wallet integration).
