November moved fast. We kicked off our first Hacker House, shipped major upgrades to Ephemeral Rollups, dropped new tools for builders, and celebrated the momentum of teams building real-time experiences on Solana. It was a month defined by motion, by products landing in developers' hands, and by the energy of a community that builds without slowing down.

Ephemeral Rollups give developers dedicated execution environments tuned for their app’s needs. They improve latency, lower costs, and in the case of TEE-based ERs, provide private execution.

September was about giving builders more ways to win. From opening the Magic Incubator and announcing our Dubai Hacker House, to launching a $12.5k Cypherpunk Side-Track and Slimecoin’s onchain quest, everything we shipped this month was designed to accelerate what you’re building, and show how real-time Solana apps can thrive.

The Magic Incubator is built for teams at any stage: idea, MVP, or already live but hungry to accelerate. When you join, you’ll gain access to proven resources and tailored guidance to match your ambitions

Slimecoin.io is live, and with it comes the new fully on-chain game from Supersize: Blob Battle. This marks the beginning of a new era of real-time gaming, where every match isn’t just for fun - it’s for real, with on-chain value.

Welcome to your August update. If you missed anything or just want the full picture in one place, you’re in the right spot. Let’s catch up.

We deep dive into our latest unlock: Private Ephemeral Rollups. Unlocking Private, Verifiable and Secure Computation

There's a silent value drain that many developers overlook: MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and bridge fees are invisibly taxing your application and users. In this article, we introduce two novel ways that builders can mitigate the risk of these hidden costs: (1) by integrating Ephemeral Rollups and (2) by integrating Fair Sequencing Services into their programs. 

A new real-time strategy game just launched on MagicBlock, and it’s breaking all the assumptions about what’s possible onchain.

Magic Router is a dynamic transaction engine that decides where each transaction should go - Solana or an Ephemeral Rollup - based on delegation and metadata. No config, no routing logic, no complexity.

MagicBlock VRFs create randomness you can prove - and trust - onchain. Our VRF is designed to allow a party to prove that they know a random value derived from a secret key, with the proof being verifiable by any third party. Unlike some systems that offload verification to oracles, MagicBlock verifies everything on-chain, end to end.

Solana dApps just got a massive upgrade. Meet Ephemeral Rollups: Solana-native execution layers with sub-50ms latency designed for real-time use cases in gaming, DeFi, and AI - no bridges, no fragmented liquidity, no headaches.

With Solana Plugins, developers can unlock powerful, app-specific extensions like real-time price feeds, verifiable randomness, and AI oracles without leaving the Solana ecosystem or spinning up an L2.

A Perfect Match: Real-Time Performance Meets Decentralized Communication. Introducing the new partnership between MagicBlock and dTelecom.
