Who we are

Solana Beach is a community focused, bootstrapped, and independent block explorer for the Solana network. It was incubated by Staking Facilities and is now on its’ path to become a stand-alone, self-sufficient project with its’ own dedicated resources.

Our main focus is to make Solana blockchain data accessible to all and comprehensive for anyone - no matter their technical background. We strive to provide a seamless UX and insightful statistics about the network, so that we can help with the proliferation if its’ adoption.

We are a small, fun-loving, dedicated team, which is mission aligned, yet diverse, and set out to challenge the status quo.
