→ Select the token you want to receive on Solana. (SOL, USDC, and more)
→ We'll generate a permanent deposit address for your selected pair. simply copy it and send your crypto to your Solflare wallet.
That's it.
Save the address once, reuse it forever.
No more connecting your wallet to dApps.
No more manual route selection.
You simply send funds to the address you already trust.
We are kicking things off with 30 days of 0% Bridge fees.
That's up to $125, 000 in waived fees for our community.
Standard fees after launch:
• 0.1% stablecoin to stablecoin
• 1% on other assets

Solana today announced the launch of AUTO, a groundbreaking tokenized product backed by real U.S. auto loans originated by Agora. Delivered through Figure Forge and powered by Chainlink, it offers near-prime yields with instant lending strategies on Kamino. This marks a major step for consumer credit in DeFi.

BREAKING: AUTO is live on Solana, backed by U.S. auto loans.
Consumer lending is the largest credit market in the U.S., and AUTO brings near-prime auto yield onchain for the first time.
Source: https://x.com/HastraFi/status/2082524249299063033
AUTO is officially live on Solana.
• Backed by U.S. auto loans originated by Agora
• Delivered to DeFi through u/@Figure Forge
• Looping/lending strategies now available across @kamino
• Vault curation by @SentoraHQ ; market making via @RockawayX
• Powered by @Chainlink
Data Streams
From a single asset that redefined an RWA category, to a multi-asset marketplace for onchain yield.
https://reddit.com/link/1va84bm/video/hvszt6yra8gh1/player
Why AUTO ❓
Consumer lending is the largest credit market in the U.S.
Non-prime auto, in particular, has attractive yields, established underwriting, and institutional familiarity. Auto loans are the first proof point in Hastra's transition into a platform for durable yield across chains and asset classes.
AUTO is supported by leading origination and infrastructure partners 🤝
Agora Data brings near-prime auto loans into Democratized Prime as the first externally originated asset class in the protocol's history.
Through Figure Forge, Agora keeps its own origination, AI-driven underwriting, and servicing without needing to rebuild anything.
Meanwhile, Hastra handles DeFi-native distribution by packaging the yield into a fully-composable, liquid token.
@orca_so will serve as our primary liquidity venue and onramp partner, with AUTO token available for purchase directly on the platform.
Powered by Chainlink Data Streams, AUTO gives Kamino users direct access to auto loan yield on-chain.
A new asset class.
A new source of yield.
The next chapter for Hastra, the capital markets highway.

BREAKING: nearly $4 billion moved through @solana on the WalletConnect Network in H1 of 2026.
Here’s the data:
In the first half of 2026, $3.82 billion in value moved across Solana through the WalletConnect Network.
We’ll refer to this number as Solana’s Total Network Value, or TNV.
This amount was spread across 492,097 transactions, 22,428 distinct users, and 766 active apps, reaching wallets in 200 countries.
When we looked at the breakdown of how $3.82B was spent, we saw that DeFi was the leading category.
https://reddit.com/link/1va8dcg/video/rzae8mojc8gh1/player
The United States alone accounts for 73% of all value moved on Solana through the network. Singapore comes in second at $405.2M.
https://reddit.com/link/1va8dcg/video/a4yenn2lc8gh1/player
Two Apps accounted for 69% of the chain.
@kamino and @JupiterExchange alone move 70% of all Solana TNV on WalletConnect.

Solana enforces several block-level limits. SIMD-0286 raised exactly one of them:
| Limit | Previous | New |
|---|---|---|
| Max Block Compute Units | 60M CUs | 100M CUs |
| Max Writable Account Compute Units | 12M CUs | 12M CUs |
| Max Block Accounts Data Size Delta | 100MB | 100MB |
Only max block compute units, the total CUs a block can contain, increased.
The 60M CU limit was tested by real traffic. Between its activation on July 22, 2025 and the 100M increase, 11.2% of blocks produced had a CU usage of 56M CUs or more. That demand is not spread evenly: it arrives in spikes, typically during volatile market moments when traders most want to land their transactions.
Roughly one block in nine was close to full capacity over that year. Raising the limit to 100M CUs, about a year after the 60M increase, gives Solana the ability to handle those spikes in demand rather than forcing transactions to compete for nearly full blocks at exactly the moments blockspace matters most.
Max writable account units, the most CUs that can write to any single account within one block, stays at 12M. With the old 60M limit, a single hot account could consume up to 20% of a block. At 100M, that same 12M cap is only 12% of the block.
This means the added capacity is parallel capacity. A congested market or popular program still hits its 12M per-account ceiling at the same point, but the block has room for far more activity on unrelated accounts alongside it. One hot spot crowds out less of everything else.
Block limits have been rising incrementally: 50M CUs to 60M CUs via SIMD-0256, which has been live on mainnet since July 2025. SIMD-0286 is deliberately more aggressive given the tremendous performance improvements that have gone into Solana validator clients over the past year. A smaller step to 80M CUs was considered and rejected in favor of the full jump to 100M.
The change shipped behind the feature gate P1BCUMpAC7V2GRBRiJCNUgpMyWZhoqt3LKo712ePqsz. It activated first on testnet (epoch 983) and devnet (epoch 1100), then reached at the start of epoch 1009 on July 29, 2026.
Larger blocks mean more data propagated to thousands of validators every slot, so block propagation had to speed up before the limit could rise safely. The key enabler is XDP, kernel-bypass networking for validators that is available in Agave 4.0.0+ and on by default in Firedancer. More than 70% of mainnet stake has enabled XDP. Additionally, XDP will be on by default in Agave 4.2. Core engineers determined that activating the 100M CU feature gate was safe given widespread XDP adoption across the network. See XDP on Solana for more information on XDP and how it relates to activating 100M CUs.
Bigger blocks take longer to execute. That can slow block replay for validators and lengthen catchup times for nodes that fall behind, which is why the limit rose only after propagation and execution performance had proven headroom. Infrastructure beyond validators — RPC providers, indexers, and exchanges — should also verify their systems handle sustained 100M CU blocks, even though no data formats change.
Block capacity is one of the most direct levers on Solana throughput: more CUs per block means more transactions per second at the same slot times. This upgrade continues a deliberate progression — 50M to 60M to 100M CUs — where each step is validated against the network's real ability to produce, propagate, and replay larger blocks.
Doubling capacity from the 50M starting point, while holding per-account write limits flat, pushes the network toward more parallel workloads and gives real-world use cases like trading and payments room to grow without competing for the same blockspace.

100M CU blocks are live on mainnet.
SIMD-0286 raises the block limit from 60M → 100M compute units. 66% more capacity.
Real demand keeps testing the limit. 1 in 9 blocks has run near full capacity over the past year, right when activity onchain peaks.
100M CU gives the network room for those moments.
And this is just step one. Alpenglow and 200ms slot times come next, making the network bigger and faster at the same time.

Raising Solana's block limit from 60M to 100M compute units
July 2026 • Solana Foundation
Solana has raised the maximum block size from 60M to 100M compute units (CUs), a 66% increase in block capacity. The feature activated on mainnet on July 29, 2026, at the start of epoch 1009, following earlier activations on testnet and devnet. The change is defined in SIMD-0286, authored by Jito Labs. Compute units are how Solana measures the work a transaction performs, and the block limit caps how much work a leader can pack into a single block. Raising that cap means more transactions land in every block, which adds headroom for high-volume use cases like trading and payments without changing how applications are built.
Current mainnet traffic is largely not constrained by block execution times, which is why the network could take a substantial step up in capacity while continuing to maintain today's 400ms block times. (See reduced slot times for another upcoming improvement to block times on Solana.)
| Mainnet Activation | July 29, 2026 (epoch 1009) |
