Colosseum Codex: Framework Kit v1, SKR Launch, DFlow Prediction Markets API

If you're going to Breakpoint, Colosseum is once again hosting its IRL Arena, a dedicated workspace for devs just a 3-minute walk from Etihad Arena. From December 10–13 you’ll be able to grab a desk and take part in technical workshops with leading Solana builders. 

If you want a chance to hang with the Colosseum team and other builders, sign up for an early access pass here: 🏟️ Colosseum Breakpoint Arena

Here's what's featured in this week's issue:

• Release of framework-kit v1
• Solana Mobile Announces January 2026 SKR Launch
• DFlow Releases Kalshi Prediction Markets API on Solana

🧰 Framework Kit v1

Framework Kit v1 is a new client framework for building Solana dApps. The release includes two main libraries:

• Client: Provides wallet connectors, transaction building, sending and confirmation, plus query primitives for blockhashes, accounts, program accounts, signatures, and SPL helpers
• React Hooks: Exposes these capabilities through a single context provider and a set of reactive, freshness aware hooks that support React Suspense.

Framework-kit is positioned as a higher level, application focused client compared to lower level SDKs like Kit and earlier helper libraries such as Gill and Kite.

The current focus is on React, with Svelte and React Native support planned, along with Codama and Anchor client integrations, additional recipes and tutorials, and a connection UI package.

Early contributions include staking helpers, lookup table and nonce helpers, and documentation improvements from community contributors.

📱 SKR Launch

Solana Mobile will launch SKR in January 2026 as the native asset of the Seeker ecosystem. SKR will have a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens and will be used for governance, staking, and incentives across users, developers, hardware partners, and Guardians.

Token distribution is structured as: 30% to airdrops, 25% to growth and partnerships, 10% to a community treasury, 15% to Solana Mobile, 10% to Solana Labs, and 10% to liquidity and launch support.

Guardians are independent operators that secure and help govern the Solana Mobile platform as part of the TEEPIN infrastructure. They verify device identity and software integrity, review and approve dApp Store submissions, enforce community rules, and distribute staking rewards to SKR delegators. Initial Guardians announced for 2026 are:

• Anza
• DoubleZero
• Triton
• Helius
• Jito

SKR staking will also go live in January 2026, allowing holders to delegate to Guardians, earn rewards, and participate in governance. Participation will center on using Seeker devices, claiming SKR rewards, staking, and building onchain applications for the Solana Mobile dApp Store.

🔮 DFlow Prediction Markets API

DFlow has released the Prediction Markets API, giving Solana builders programmatic access to tokenized Kalshi markets as SPL tokens. The API exposes 100% of Kalshi’s markets on Solana, with positions represented as real tokens rather than synthetic exposure. 

Once minted, these outcome tokens are fully composable with Solana DeFi to be traded, used as collateral, or integrated into custom trading logic and protocols.

Under the hood, DFlow uses Concurrent Liquidity Programs to bridge offchain Kalshi liquidity with onchain intents. 

Builders submit onchain trade intents, liquidity providers fill them, and the protocol mints or burns the corresponding prediction tokens. Both synchronous (single transaction) and asynchronous (multi transaction) trade flows are supported.

The API surface is structured around a full prediction market lifecycle:

• Discover markets via metadata endpoints
• Trade outcome tokens using the Trade API
• Track user positions by querying token accounts and mapping to market data
• Redeem winning tokens for stablecoins when markets resolve

DFlow also provides configuration for slippage tolerance, priority fees, and a single order endpoint that returns quotes and ready to sign transactions. 

Kalshi is supporting the ecosystem with a $2M grants program for applications built on top of this infrastructure.

⚙️ Tools & Resources

Testship is a browser based testing tool for Solana Anchor programs. It lets you call instructions, derive PDAs, and inspect results without writing tests or custom setup, so you can quickly test and debug from a single generated interface.

tide is a lightweight benchmark suite for Solana programs that compares popular account data serialization crates, from zero copy options to Borsh to show how different libraries behave in realistic scenarios.

glyphs is a simple onchain collectible where rarity is derived directly from Solana slots. When a user “excavates” a Glyph, the program reads the current slot and assigns rarity based on deterministic math over that slot number.

💸 Funding

Fin has raised a $17 million Series A led by Pantera Capital with participation from Sequoia and others to expand its team and bring its stablecoin powered payments product to market on Solana.

When Shift Happens

Meow, founder of Jupiter, reveals how his team built crypto's largest DEX aggregator with over $2 trillion in volume and $300M annual revenue and why their token still failed.

While other protocols obsess over technology, Jupiter focused on making crypto accessible to everyone by building the "Google of finance." But despite massive product success, communication failures and community mismanagement tanked the token.
