what's magicblock?
MagicBlock is a Solana-based project developing a real-time engine for decentralized games and applications, enabling high-performance onchain experiences without state fragmentation. It provides infrastructure like ephemeral rollups and geographic colocation to minimize latency and support features such as real-time DeFi, market making, and fully onchain gaming at Web2 speeds. The project has raised significant funding, including a $7.5M seed round, and participates in accelerators like a16z CSX. Magic Incubator is their program offering 1:1 technical mentorship, marketing support, and product guidance to builders creating real-time apps on Solana. It targets ideas or prototypes to help ship innovative projects in the ecosystem.
