MagicBlock celebrates the successful completion of the first Magic Incubator, where Magic Garden gathers the next-generation developers of Solana.

Ten groundbreaking teams showcased real-time on-chain innovations covering trading, privacy, and consumer experience on the eve of the Breakpoint Abu Dhabi conference.

MagicBlock recently held a program completion celebration named “Magic Garden,” marking the successful conclusion of the first Magic Incubator. This program aims to accelerate the development of next-generation on-chain applications built using Solana and MagicBlock's Ephemeral Rollups technology.

Held under the warm outdoor lights of Dubai, “Magic Garden” brought together founders, engineers, investors, and ecosystem leaders. After weeks of intense development iterations, community members had the opportunity to relax and connect through music, food, and technical exchanges. This event also served as a bridge between the incubator's graduation and the Breakpoint Abu Dhabi conference, where many participating teams will showcase their progress for the first time.

Showcasing the lineup of the first Magic Incubator. This year's incubator has nine highly potential teams participating, dedicated to creating products that challenge the limits of real-time, fully on-chain experiences.

Archer Exchange — A batch auction exchange on Solana with MEV resistance

Battle Chaos — The first fully on-chain real estate tycoon game on Solana

Bloxswap — Tap-to-trade service

Cloak — Solana's privacy track solution

Dolero — Inspired by Blackjack, a 1v1 card game with on-chain betting.

Loyal — A private and permissionless AI system

Rush — Gamified Capital Markets

Supersize — serverless real money game

Vorld.tv — Creating responsive games that allow fans to participate, streamers to earn more revenue, and developers to thrive.

These teams work alongside the engineers and mentors at MagicBlock to optimize the architecture, test ideas, and launch features that would not be possible without the underlying performance of Solana and the real-time computation layer of MagicBlock.

“Watching this group of teams build products in real time is amazing,” said Andrea Fortugno, co-founder and CEO of MagicBlock. “Each team comes with bold ideas, and throughout the planning process, they continuously challenge themselves and explore the possibilities when transactions become real-time, private, and fee-less. The Magic Garden is our way of providing founders a space to breathe, connect with each other, and feel the momentum of the Solana movement. A big thank you to the Solana Foundation, XO, FlashTrade, and Superteam UAE for their support in making the graduation event a success.”

The event attracted over a hundred guests, founders, contributors, investors, and partners from the ecosystem. Attendees included members from the Solana Foundation, FlashTrade, XO, SuperTeam UAE, and several community members who will be participating in the upcoming Breakpoint conference.
