Kalshi Launches Eco Hub With Solana and Base Integration

Bridging Finance and Blockchain

KalshiEco Hub is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to expand prediction markets beyond traditional finance.

As the U.S. prediction exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Kalshi is positioning itself as a bridge between mainstream financial oversight and emerging crypto technologies.

The company said the program combines its regulatory foundation with the transaction speed of Solana — capable of processing up to 65,000 transactions per second — and the scalability of Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 network. Together, the integrations aim to reduce costs, accelerate settlement, and expand access.

Support for Developers and Projects

Through the Eco Hub, Kalshi will offer grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to projects building on or around its platform. Early partners include Kalshinomics, a market analytics dashboard, and Verso, a toolset for professional market discovery and execution.

The goal is to create an environment where third-party teams can innovate within Kalshi’s framework while benefiting from direct support.

Kalshi also announced support for native SOL deposits and the stablecoin USDC. Users can deposit up to $500,000, allowing existing crypto participants to engage more directly with prediction markets.

By enabling crypto funding alongside its fiat structure, Kalshi is seeking to broaden participation while maintaining its regulated status.

The move comes as prediction markets face heightened scrutiny at the state level, with regulators in Arizona and Ohio warning licensed operators against offering event contracts outside of gambling frameworks. Kalshi, which operates under federal oversight, has pointed to its exchange model as distinct from sports betting platforms.
