September was all about giving builders more ways to accelerate. From launching the Magic Incubator and announcing our Dubai Hacker House, to announcing the $12.5k Cypherpunk Side-Track, everything we shipped last month was designed to accelerate what you’re building, and show how real-time Solana apps can thrive.
Let’s dive in.
The Magic Incubator is now open
The Magic Incubator is where builders turn ideas into products with speed, support, and collaboration. Members get weekly 1:1 time with MagicBlock engineers, product and GTM guidance, fundraising prep, and access to our marketing channels. Incubator teams also get priority invites to our IRL events, like the Dubai Hacker House,for hands-on co-working before Breakpoint.
Deadline for the first cohort: 30 October
A villa built for shipping: Dubai Hacker House
We are taking over a villa in Dubai from 28 Nov to 7 Dec. This 10-day IRL activation is invite-only for selected Magic Incubator teams, with a limited number of slots. Expect focused co-working, daily technical check-ins, demos, and momentum straight into Breakpoint.
Want in? It all starts wth the Magic Incubator.
Announcing the Cypherpunk side track
Real-time isn’t an add-on; it’s the edge. We’re running a dedicated MagicBlock side track at the Cypherpunk Hackathon with $12.5k in prizes, including a Superteam bonus that stacks with the main awards. To enter, integrate Ephemeral Rollups into your project and ship. Deadline: Oct 30.
Slimecoin Quest goes live
Slimecoin is a new, fully onchain game from Supersize, and it’s unlike anything you’ve played before. Start as a blob, eat coins on the map, and grow stronger by consuming other players. Every coin you collect stacks in your vault, and you can withdraw anytime.
Founder talks, continued
Co-Founder Andrea is back with part 2 of his ongoing whiteboard series, where he breaks down core concepts like Ephemeral Rollups architecture and real-time scaling patterns. The goal is to make the tech accessible to builders of all levels. The series is for anyone interested in learning more about MagicBlock.
