May belonged to the ecosystem. New apps shipped, Frontier hackathon wrapped, and the team brought the next generation of consumer apps to Solana Consumer Day in Miami.

Here's everything you might have missed 👇

The MagicBlock Ecosystem


The roster of apps building on MagicBlock is accelerating across privacy, trading, games, and agents, and it isn't slowing down. We mapped them out and asked which ones you're most bullish on.

New Apps and Integrations


A batch of new apps launched and integrated with MagicBlock in May. A quick tour:

Fast Poker: onchain poker as a permissionless, non-custodial protocol. Hands and gameplay stay concealed with Private Ephemeral Rollups, so the team can't cheat even if they wanted to.

Rosentica: the first time you can play with your tokenized Pokémon cards. Most collectibles sit in vaults, these come to life in battle online, built on MagicBlock for real-time play.

Jailed: the world's first onchain prison on Solana. Financial game theory for degenerates, using MagicBlock VRF for provably fair randomness.

Swish: the simplest way to send private payments on Solana. Paste an X handle or drop a link, no wallet address needed, with MagicBlock as the default route.

ClawPump: AI agents that trade DeFi across 11 DEXs and now move money privately. Agent funding, transfers, and treasury flows route through the MagicBlock Private Payments API.

Questline Buyback


Questline rewards now have a buyback. Pull a prize from the Reward Machine and you can keep it or sell it back to us for USDC, every reward carries real value.

Colosseum Frontier Hackathon


The Colosseum Frontier Hackathon wrapped, and we announced the winners of our Privacy Track, with $5,000 for the best apps built on Private Ephemeral Rollups.

🥇 myStableCorp: business infrastructure for remote founders earning in stablecoins, shielding treasury transactions with PER

🥈 Expaynse: real-time private payroll, per-second salary streaming where amounts and recipients stay off the public ledger

🥉 Bento: a security layer for onchain AI agents, with encrypted policy on PER and verdicts in a TEE so only safe actions reach Solana

The track ran as part of Solana Network State Spring 2026 in Malaysia, co-hosted with Superteam Malaysia, Network School, and SNS. See the recap video here

Solana Blitz, Five Weekends In


With Blitz v4 in the books, the series has now seen 170+ projects built across five weekend hackathons since February. We pulled together a retrospective of the 10 coolest apps shipped across v0 through v4.

Blitz v5 is coming very soon 👀

MagicBlock in Miami


The MagicBlock team was on the ground in Miami across the Solana events this szn. Consumer Day, Accelerate, Solana AI.

At Solana Consumer Day, several MagicBlock-powered apps demoed live, including FlashTrade for real-time trading, Loofta Pay for private transfers, and Loyal for agents that manage money privately.

Loofta Pay Case Study


We published a full case study on Loofta Pay, one of the cleanest private payments builds on MagicBlock. Venmo-style UX, funds delegated to an Ephemeral Rollup for private balance updates and P2P transfers, with public onchain settlement. No public ledger of who paid you, how much, or how often.

Livestream on @Solana_Devs


We went live with Cat from Solana Devs on private agentic payments. Andy and Vincent walked through an agent sending USDC privately using the MagicBlock Private Payments API, with the transaction signed through Crossmint's Lobster Cash. The API builds the full flow under a single signature, deposit and delegate to a Private Ephemeral Rollup secured by a TEE, transfer, then settle back to Solana, so nothing onchain links the sender to the recipient.
