Solana as Settlement Infrastructure: Latency, Finality and Institutional Requirements
An assessment of Solana's technical architecture against the settlement latency and finality requirements of institutional capital markets participants.

The Solana Research Institute (SRI) is an applied research forum dedicated to the participation of financial institutions in open financial systems. We provide a systematic analysis of onchain infrastructure, evaluating the transition from legacy frameworks to high-performance capital markets.
Our work establishes technical and strategic frameworks across the full lifecycle of financial activity—from origination and execution to governance and risk management—to identify the trends, opportunities, and constraints defining the next generation of market infrastructure.
