Drift at Breakpoint 2025: Conviction Ripening
Breakpoint 2025 was a hit and the largest ever. Here's are Drift's highlights from BP25
Breakpoint 2025 was a hit and the largest ever.
The ecosystem is maturing. "Projects" are now full-fledged organizations, partnering with legacy counterparts, rewriting the status quo and defining finance.
Drift has been here since day one, from the first Breakpoint in Lisbon with a simple vAMM to Drift v2, and now v3: a battle-tested perp trading venue built to outperform.
Over the years, many networks have come and gone. Solana stayed. And alongside it, Drift continued to grow—steadily, deliberately, while building in public.
At Breakpoint 2025, it felt like the fruits of long-held conviction ripened. We've gone from hacker houses and community meetups to taking over arenas. From experimental projects to organizations managing billions in TVL.
Drift has been here since the beginning. And yet, we have never been more bullish.
Here are some of Drift's highlights from this Breakpoint:
Kicking off Breakpoint with Liquid Hours
The Breakpoint crowd kicked off conference season in style with Drift and friends from Crypto.com Onchain, Matcha, and Trojan at W Hotel, right in the middle of the Yas Marina F1 Circuit!
Almost 2,000 people registered for an exclusive happy hour, where attendees enjoyed amazing drinks, trackside views, great food, and premium merch.

David Lu's panel on Drift's risk engines and ADL
David Lu spoke at the Solana Money Summit, talking about all things ADL, risk, and perps. He shared how Drift survived the 10/10 flash crash and Drift's philosophy of caring about users while keeping the protocol protected.
Drift’s Ecosystem Lead emceed the Mainstage
Drift's Ecosystem Lead, Squid (also known as Pearce), emceed for the Solana Ecosystem on the Absolute Cinema Mainstage, where announcements and keynotes continued to make headlines.
Looking Ahead
Happy Drift faces filled with great conversations and cocktails :D
Drift v3, the most performant upgrade yet, is officially here. New features are shipping every week, with on-chain CLOB, Prop AMM in the works, along with Drift Mobile.
Drift and Solana have grown hand in hand. As we step into 2026, there are only more reasons than ever to be bullish on both.
See you next year!
