BETWEEN THE EVENTS

Oligarch

COMMUNITY / SOLANA

Forged in the bear market.
Built to last.

One of our cofounders is part of Oligarch, a battle-tested Solana community that stayed connected through the hard years. It continues to bring together traders, builders and people from across the ecosystem.

Making Solana
easier to understand.

From Twitter AMAs and the Citizen Web3 podcast to talks in our local Discord community, we share practical experience with people exploring and building on Solana. We’re always happy to get on a call, answer questions and help someone take their next step.

Have a question? Let’s talk

A network of
people, too.

We work alongside teams and independent operators across Solana, sharing practical experience, working through technical challenges and contributing to the conversations that move the network forward.

Working through it, together.

Getting on calls with other operators to troubleshoot validator and RPC issues, and working through problems together.

Part of the conversation.

Operator calls, technical discussions and perspectives on Solana improvement proposals.

The Vault’s validator board.

One of our cofounders brings an independent operator’s perspective as an ongoing board member.

Global network.
Local roots.

Both cofounders live and work in South Africa. Our participation starts here, too: a local crypto community in Ballito, lunches and conversations that bring people together.

Sometimes a contribution is a product. Sometimes it starts with making an introduction or sitting down at the same table.
