Wormhole Debuts Sunrise to Fix Solana’s Broken Token Listing Experience

Wormhole:- Launching a token in Web3 is one of the most critical moments in a company’s journey. Yet when a new token intends to launch on Solana, the excitement is often matched with confusion.

A Solana token launching on Ethereum?
An Ethereum token bridging into Solana?
A Polkadot token going multichain?

From scattered metadata to mismatched icons, rugged liquidity sources, and even spoofed contracts, Solana’s fast-moving ecosystem has long struggled with a less glamorous but very real problem. There’s no standardized, reliable way for users and apps to discover accurate token information.

This is the gap Sunrise, a new platform of Wormhole interoperability stack, aims to close. By serving as a single, authoritative source of truth for token listings, Sunrise wants to bring order to Solana’s chaotic token discovery process. And as Wormhole Labs co-founder Tony Jin puts it, “We’re just getting started.”

Here’s How:

We're just getting started.

Years ago, @solana brought me back onchain after a long break. No more token approvals, and apps I could actually see a non-native consumer using!

Wormhole Builds Solana’s Token Registry

For years, Solana’s token environment has been fragmented. Developers submitted token information across multiple platforms – Jupiter, Phantom, Solscan, or custom GitHub repos. No clear canonical registry existed, and no guarantee that wallet icons, decimals, or metadata were accurate.

This fragmentation didn’t just create UX headaches. It created opportunity for bad actors. Fake tokens slipped into aggregators. Users added wrong addresses. Wallets struggled to filter spoofed assets. Bridges importing tokens created duplicate entries.

To solve this, Wormhole’s new platform Sunrise aims to act as a Token Registry for the Multichain Era. Sunrise takes tokens coming from other chains and gives them an official, standardized “Solana-approved” format..

It then helps in making Solana tokens live across multiple chains, bridges, and formats. Sunrise does that by making the process of importing, verifying, and registering them unified and automated.

Solution to Solana’s Problem?

Projects launching on Solana can import their token with canonical metadata – name, symbol, icon, decimals, and more – into an official registry. Once verified, tokens will be listed across Solana-native applications which includes Wallets, DEXes, Aggregators. Explorers. Indexers.

Interestingly, because Sunrise sits on cross-chain Wormhole, it isn’t only about Solana. It will enables standardized token metadata across chains, allowing multichain deployments to maintain consistency at launch.

Did MON Launch Prove the Protocol?

The MON launch effectively validated Sunrise’s entire model. The protocol became the gateway that enabled MON to go live on Solana on Day 1. The data shows that within hours, Solana DEXes were already recording higher spot trading volume than Hyperliquid.

However, Sunrise itself did not execute trades. It simply ensured that MON could be imported, standardized, and activated across Solana’s liquidity venues instantly.

But that single action triggered the outcome the team has been promising: fast, seamless asset onboarding that unlocks real liquidity.

By enabling MON to flow natively into Solana through Wormhole’s NTT framework, Sunrise demonstrated that its “one-day listing” pipeline isn’t just marketing. It directly translates into deep trading activity, rapid price discovery, and competitive liquidity across Solana’s DEX ecosystem.
