About Solana Foundation

Solana is the fastest-growing web-scale blockchain in crypto and the fastest blockchain on the market today clocking in at 400-millisecond block times. The company is a decentralized blockchain built to enable scalable, user-friendly apps for the world.

Even as Solana quickly became a major player in the crypto and blockchain market and experienced massive growth, it was still operating as a very lean organization. After working on another product launch in Solana’s ecosystem, Solana Beach, the company reached out to the Dakai team to help revamp its ever-changing ecosystem page.

A Solana Ecosystem

The Solana ecosystem page was initially built in 2020 and since then, it had grown and evolved. The team wanted to showcase and highlight the vast scale and diversity of the ecosystem but didn’t have the resources internally to achieve its vision for the page.

The Solana Foundation partnered with Dakai to refresh the ecosystem page. Dakai took on the project to develop a page that was ground zero and absolutely crucial to the ecosystem and network.

The Results

The new page launched, featuring refreshed tools that elevated the whole ecosystem. As a Vercel preferred partner, Dakai helped reduce load times while increasing page speed significantly. Not only did the page better reflect Solana’s dynamic ecosystem, it also captured the essence of its vibrant community.

The collaboration between the Solana Foundation and Dakai resulted in a user-friendly, experiential page that was on brand and lead the digital currency player into the future.
