Open Infrastructure Foundation

The Linux Foundation is celebrating 35 years of Linux, highlighting the operating system's role as the open source engine behind decades of global innovation and infrastructure. Created by Linus Torvalds in 1991, Linux now underpins servers, cloud platforms, embedded devices and much of the internet. The milestone is drawing tributes from developers and enterprises reflecting on the project's impact on modern computing.

The Solana Foundation has released open-source code that allows banks to settle tokenized trades in a single step. The offering targets financial institutions looking to use blockchain technology for faster, atomic settlement of tokenized assets, cutting out the multi-step processes typical of traditional post-trade infrastructure. The move signals Solana's push to win over institutional finance as tokenization of real-world assets gains traction among major banks.

The Solana Foundation has launched an open-source delivery-versus-payment (DvP) system developed with input from J.P. Morgan, aimed at settling asset transactions in seconds rather than days. The move ties the Solana blockchain to institutional finance workflows and is drawing attention as a step toward faster, programmable settlement of securities and other assets.
