August was packed with breakthroughs. We launched Private Ephemeral Rollups (the biggest privacy upgrade on Solana), touched down with Interstellar Command, served up the first Cooking with MagicBlock video, and kicked off a new series with our co-founder, Andrea. Alongside a community that continually raises the bar.
If you missed any of it or want the highlights in one place, you’re in the right spot. Let’s catch up.
The largest upgrade to privacy on Solana
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are now live, the largest upgrade to privacy on Solana. Developers can now build real-time applications with institutional-grade privacy, unlocking compliant trading and institutional-grade use cases without sacrificing speed.
A word from our co-founder
Andrea (Co-Founder and CEO) is behind the mic in a new series that goes into our origin story and deep dives into the future of Ephemeral Rollups - and why they’re unlocking the future of real-time apps.
Interstellar Command touches down
New quests have landed in Interstellar Command. Built on Ephemeral Rollups, the game pushes the limits of real-time coordination. Squad up, react instantly, and climb the leaderboard.
Cooking with MagicBlock
The first episode of Cooking with MagicBlock is live. In just three steps, Lana Roads goes from meh to mind-blowing by sprinkling on real-time magic, showing how Ephemeral Rollups turn simple apps into seamless experiences. It’s a taste of what’s possible when you start cooking with MagicBlock.
Build Real-Time Oracles
Andy (@fauxfire_) put together a guide on how to build real-time oracles with MagicBlock. Oracles are truth bridges, moving real-world data like prices, weather, and elections onto blockchains in a way smart contracts can verify. With Ephemeral Rollups, they update in as little as 50ms, fast enough for DeFi, gaming, and beyond.
MagicBlock Games Land on Solana Seeker
Solana Seeker has just launched to 150,000 crypto natives and MagicBlock-powered apps and games are already live. With a permissionless dApp store and real-time infrastructure, Seeker is set to become the launchpad for the next wave of onchain experiences.
Ephemeral VRF Audit complete
Our Ephemeral VRF has been audited by Zenith. All findings were resolved or acknowledged, and the audit confirms our verifiable randomness is truly bulletproof, with no manipulation possible. Big kudos to the Zenith team for a smooth process.
