Monthly Sprinkle of Magic: February 2026

Welcome to the February update for MagicBlock.

February did not miss. Builders shipped, stages were taken, hackathons ran back to back, and the ecosystem kept growing week over week.

Here is everything you might've missed 👇

The MagicBlock Ecosystem

We put a spotlight on the growing roster of Solana applications building with MagicBlock, spanning gaming, DeFi, privacy, infrastructure, and AI. From fully onchain games to private AI assistants and real-time trading platforms, the breadth of what builders are creating on top of MagicBlock infrastructure keeps expanding.

MagicBlock Ecosystem Fund

We announced the MagicBlock Ecosystem Fund and committed $100,000 to support the most promising real-time and private applications being built on Solana. The fund will be deployed through future hackathons, grants, and direct investments into teams pushing the frontier of fully onchain apps.

Consensus Hong Kong + The BLOCK Party

The MagicBlock team headed to Hong Kong for Consensus 2026. We were on the ground from February 10 to 12, connecting with builders, partners, and the broader Solana community throughout the week.

To close out the week, we hosted The BLOCK Party, a Solana-focused evening bringing together the ecosystem for food, drinks, demos from partners, and a few surprises.

On February 10 in Hong Kong, our co-founder took the stage at Solana Consumer Day to showcase the top 10 real-time consumer apps on Solana powered by MagicBlock. A front-row look at what's being built on our infrastructure and where consumer onchain apps are headed.
