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

The event was held under the warm outdoor lights of Dubai, where “Magic Garden” brought together founders, engineers, investors, and ecosystem leaders. After several weeks of intensive development iterations, community members had the opportunity to relax and connect through music, food, and technology 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 at the conference.

Showcase the lineup of the first Magic Incubator team

This year's incubator has nine highly potential teams participating, committed 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
• Bloxwap — “Click to Trade” ( Tap-to-trade ) service
• Cloak — Solana's privacy rail solution
• Dolero — Inspired by Blackjack (Blackjack), a 1v1 card game with on-chain betting.
• Loyal — A private and permissionless AI system
• Rush — Gamified capital market
• Supersize — Serverless real money game
• Vorld.tv — Creating responsive games that allow fans to participate in the game, enabling streamers to earn more revenue and allowing developers to thrive.

These teams work alongside the engineers and mentors at MagicBlock to optimize architecture, test ideas, and launch features that could not be realized without Solana's underlying performance and MagicBlock's instantaneous computation layer.

“Watching this group of teams build products in real time is amazing,” MagicBlock co-founder and CEO Andrea Fortugno said. “Each team comes with bold ideas, and throughout the planning process, they continuously challenge themselves, exploring the possibilities when transactions become instant, private, and fee-free. Magic Garden is our way of providing founders with a breather, a chance to communicate, and to feel the momentum of the Solana movement. A big thank you to 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 Solana Foundation, FlashTrade, XO, SuperTeam UAE, and several community members who will be attending the Breakpoint conference.
