Key Takeaways:
Solflare users can now trade Kalshi prediction markets directly within their wallet interface, eliminating the need to connect to external dApps.
DFlow powers the backend by tokenizing Kalshi’s event contracts into standard SPL tokens, making them fully composable within the Solana ecosystem.
Kalshi has launched a $2 million grant fund to encourage developers to build new applications on top of this prediction market API.
Solana has announced a significant advancement for its prediction market sector: the official integration of event trading directly into Solflare, one of the ecosystem’s most popular wallets. Powered by Kalshi’s liquidity and DFlow’s routing infrastructure, this feature marks the first time a major Solana wallet has natively embedded “TradFi-grade” prediction markets, offering a seamless alternative to the traditional dApp connection model.
Bringing a Native Prediction Experience to Solflare
According to the announcement, Solflare users can now access and trade prediction markets without ever leaving the wallet interface. This native integration streamlines the user journey, removing friction points such as navigating to third-party websites or signing multiple transaction approvals.The backend is supported by Kalshi, a prediction market exchange regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). With nearly $20 billion in cumulative trading volume, Kalshi provides a robust data source for events ranging from election outcomes and Federal Reserve interest rates to inflation metrics, bringing deep liquidity and regulatory assurance to on-chain users.

DFlow and the Tokenization of Event Contracts
The technological backbone of this integration is provided by DFlow. The protocol has deployed a “Prediction Markets API” that tokenizes Kalshi’s entire inventory of event contracts into standard SPL tokens on Solana.
This transformation turns abstract predictions into tangible on-chain assets, unlocking powerful composability features typical of DeFi:
Tradeability: Users can swap these position tokens on DEXs like Jupiter or Raydium, leveraging Solana’s high speed and low fees.
Utility: Because they are standard SPL tokens, these positions can theoretically be integrated into other DeFi protocols, such as being used as collateral for loans or pooled in liquidity pairs.
$2 Million Grant Fund to Expand the “Money Lego” Ecosystem
Coinciding with the launch, Kalshi has unveiled a $2 million grant fund aimed at developers. The fund is designed to incentivize builders to utilize the Prediction Markets API to create new financial products and use cases.
This initiative underscores a broader vision for the Solana ecosystem: treating prediction outcomes as “money legos.” By combining the regulatory stability of Kalshi with the performance of Solana, the partnership aims to make event-based trading a foundational layer of the DeFi landscape, accessible to both institutional and retail users.
