Solana ACE to Give Developers Custom Transaction Ordering by July 2025

Multicoin co-founder and Forward Industries (FORD) board chair Kyle Samani said at the Solana Breakpoint conference on December 11 that ACE (Application-Controlled Execution) will let developers define custom transaction ordering rules while maintaining a single global system with one shared liquidity pool. ACE is part of Solana's "internet capital markets" roadmap targeted for July 2025, granting smart contracts millisecond-level control over transaction sequencing. The design aims to combine traditional finance microstructure with blockchain scalability to reduce fragmentation in DeFi, Samani said.
