The Solana Money Summit just wrapped up 21 compelling talks that brought together the ecosystem's most influential builders and platforms.

The lineup read like a who's who of Solana's infrastructure layer. You had Figure pushing institutional adoption frameworks, Galaxy and Ellipsis working on sophisticated trading mechanics, while Corbits and Coinbase's development team tackled interoperability challenges. Mobile solutions got serious attention from Tala Mobile, and yield farming strategies were explored through Solstice Finance and AUSD's stablecoin mechanics.

On the more technical side, Anza, Gauntlet, and Drift Protocol dug into protocol optimization and risk management—the unsexy but crucial work that keeps everything running. Meanwhile, Project0 and Loopscale were pushing boundaries on scaling solutions, Kamino tackled concentrated liquidity mechanisms, and Jupiter's trading infrastructure discussions drew the biggest crowds.

Jito brought the validator perspective to the table, which honestly doesn't get enough airtime. When you step back, what's interesting isn't just the individual projects—it's that they all showed up to the same room. That kind of coordinated focus on ecosystem problems signals where Solana's heading next.
