Solana Breakpoint 2026

Solana Breakpoint 2026 is Solana Foundation’s annual conference for the Solana ecosystem, with three days of talks, workshops, debates, product updates, side events, and community programming in London.

The event runs from November 15–17 at Olympia Convention Centre, Hammersmith Rd, London W14 8UX. It is aimed at builders, founders, investors, institutions, creators, policymakers, infrastructure teams, wallets, validators, DeFi teams, data providers, payment companies, and teams building applications on Solana.

This edition is focused on the future of money on Solana, with internet capital markets, stablecoins, institutional adoption, payments, infrastructure, applications, and the builder economy at the center of the program.

The future of money on Solana

The London edition leans into Solana's role in capital markets and financial infrastructure. The whole program orbits one question – what's actually being used, shipped, and scaled on Solana. That spans stablecoin settlement, payments, tokenized markets, DeFi, developer tools, consumer apps, trading systems, wallets, validators, and the infrastructure behind high-throughput onchain products.

What to expect

Keynotes, lightning talks, debates, workshops, networking, ecosystem updates, and product announcements – more than 60 talks and activations in total. Tickets get you time with Solana builders and founders, Solana and partner swag, early access to talk recordings and materials, and entry to the opening party.

The speaker lineup isn't public yet. Builders, institutions, and policymakers will all be on stage, though no names are confirmed so far.

Side events

A wider community calendar runs alongside the main conference, including Solana Hacker House London, 200ms, Scale or Die, BlockZero 2026, CodeCup: AI x Solana Builder Arena, Pr1me London Series, and other community-run gatherings.

• Solana Hacker House London runs ahead of Breakpoint as a builder space with workshops, technical sessions, workspace, food, and access to ecosystem experts.
• Scale or Die is for engineers, validators, protocol developers, infrastructure teams, and researchers — covering validator performance, consensus, transaction landing, RPC, Firedancer, post-quantum readiness, agentic infrastructure, and high-performance onchain apps.
• 200ms focuses on Solana markets and DeFi, with priority access for builders, core developers, and onchain traders.
• BlockZero is a community-led summit for validators, infrastructure operators, protocol contributors, and teams building around validator infrastructure.
