Kem Partners with Solana to Become the First Native Solana Bank

We're proud to announce a partnership with Solana that makes Kem the first bank built natively on Solana. Rather than bolting on support for another chain, we're building core banking functionality directly on Solana's rails from the ground up.

Solana's speed and low transaction costs make it a natural foundation for banking that needs to feel instant, whether that's spending, saving, or moving money across borders. Building natively means Kem accounts, balances, and transactions live on Solana by design, not as an add-on to a system built for something else.

Users get faster settlement, lower costs, and direct access to the broader Solana ecosystem from within their Kem account. It also means Kem can move quickly as Solana's infrastructure continues to evolve, since we're building with it rather than around it.

This partnership is the foundation for a lot of what's coming next for Kem, and we're looking forward to sharing more as we build.
