August completed the builder pipeline: ship your MVP at Blitz, grow it in Forge, and accelerate it at the Founders Camp in Bangkok. Around it: Champions went live, JungleFun did 1000 SOL in 19 days, and every KPI kept multiplying.
Here's everything you might've missed 👇
MagicBlock Founders Camp in Thailand 🇹🇭

The winners: BlitzMine, a real-time mining game on an Ephemeral Rollup with VRF-picked winning tiles. Tenor, a private multi-dealer FX RFQ where quotes stay hidden inside a Private Ephemeral Rollup. Oobe Protocol, an open-source MCP server giving AI agents native MagicBlock tools.

Starts Friday, September 4.

MagicBlock Champions
Grow MagicBlock and get rewarded for it.
Champions puts every contributor on one map: creators, community leads, and builders deliver on open requests and earn rewards every month. Entry is invite-only; if you know a champion, ask them to refer you.
We kicked it off with a live community call on August 13.

JungleFun with MonkeDAO
A fully onchain gacha machine, built with MonkeDAO.
Rip packs of SMB Gen2s and Gen3s or hunt through five years of OG Solana NFTs. Keep what you pull or take the buyback, with every odd verified onchain by MagicBlock VRF.
The numbers after 19 days: ~1000 SOL revenue, 3000+ rips, and users hitting 30x multipliers. Apps win when the randomness is provable.

MagicBlock Growth
Every KPI has multiplied by at least 40x since the start of the year. This kind of growth is only possible on Solana.
Of the $100k we committed to funding Solana builders in February, more than 20% is now deployed after 6 months, and we're absolutely not slowing down.
Real-Time Founders Ep 4 and 5
You shouldn't have to trust the house to know the game is fair.
Andrea sits down with cheapnumbers, co-founder of Supersize, building real money skill games that run entirely on Ephemeral Rollups, every move inscribed on Solana.
Your idle crypto is costing you yield every day.
In Ep 5, Andrea talks to space_symmetry, co-founder of Loyal, building self-custodial agents that put your money to work on Solana; they have already swept $500K of idle crypto into yield.
New for Builders
13 open-source examples now cover every MagicBlock primitive: live demos with full source, from real-time counters to private rock paper scissors and sealed auctions. Clone one, rip out the logic, make it yours.
We also shipped Lever, a 1000x leverage template you can fork: vaults, an auto-settling crank, Ephemeral SPL tokens, and session keys so users never see a wallet popup mid-play.
Apps Shipping with MagicBlock
Imperial Perps - Launched its all-in-one terminal: leverage trade memes, forex, equities and majors with just a Solana wallet, aggregated across venues, fully onchain.
Bakeland - The MMORPG officially dropped on Solana Mobile: farm outlawed crops, raid enemy bases, and take their resources, with lootbox rolls powered by MagicBlock VRF.
Slimecoin - Expanded to 7 head-to-head games where you take other players' USDC if you score higher.
OOBE - Our newest integration: private swaps and transfers for onchain AI agents, powered by the MagicBlock Private Payments API.
More from August
Our founder clip series kept rolling all month: myStableCorp's 10KRotator on why business payments should be private by default, and Slimecoin's cheapnumbers on why your idea can probably be built fully onchain.

September opens with Blitz v8 as a Global Startup Village, then takes us to Bangkok for Founders Camp on the 21st.
