Monthly Sprinkle of Magic: December 2025

Welcome to your December update.

December was absolute cinema. We spoke at Solana Breakpoint, shipped a major network upgrade, and wrapped up our Hacker House in Dubai. Teams building with MagicBlock kept winning, and we closed 2025 with insane momentum.

Here is everything you might’ve missed 👇

‍

Breakpoint 2025

‍

Our co-founder, Andrea, took the stage at Breakpoint to talk about building everything onchain and announced a major upgrade to MagicBlock. Faster, cheaper, more secure, more resilient. Not a tweak, but a shift from early adopter network to production-scale infrastructure.

The full talk is on Solana's YouTube here

Stop Paying Rent

‍

We teamed up with Light Protocol to let developers interact with compressed accounts inside Ephemeral Rollups like normal Solana accounts. Same DevEx, 200x cheaper. This unlocks use cases and scalability for apps on Solana that were restricted by rent costs before.

Hacker House Wrapped Successfully

‍

Our Dubai Hacker House finished with demos and projects ready to ship. The Meet the Wizard series captured the builders from these projects: TheVorld, Bloxwap, Rush Trade, Supersize, Archer Exchange, Battle Chaos, Loyal, DOLERO, and a special episode with PlaySolana.

Magic Dinner in Abu Dhabi

‍

We hosted dinner for our partners, friends, and builders during Breakpoint week. A night to connect and look ahead. Thanks to everyone who came 🤍

‍

Magic Garden

‍

Our community event in Dubai brought the energy. Good conversations, amazing people. Was great to meet everyone who showed up.

‍

Matrix Hackathon

‍

We sponsored the first Matrix Hackathon. Build real-time Solana apps for the PlaySolana console, reach 10,000 device holders, and compete for $50,000 in total prizes.

Colosseum W

‍

Archer Exchange got into Colosseum's 4th accelerator cohort.

Fun fact: Teams building on MagicBlock won the last three Colosseum hackathons: Archer, CFL Fun, and Supersize.

Real-time infrastructure on Solana is where winning projects get built.
