MagicBlock raises $7.5M for real-time, app-specific extensions for Solana blockchain
MagicBlock, a real-time engine for decentralized games and applications on Solana, has raised a $7.5 million seed round.
Lightspeed Faction led the round, with participation from Maven11, Delphi Digital, Robot Ventures, Mechanism Capital, Equilibrium, Pivot Global, and notable angels including Anatoly Yakovenko, Mert Mumtaz, and Tristan Yver. This investment fuels MagicBlock’s mission to power real-time, fully onchain games and applications built natively on Solana, ensuring that developers can build decentralized experiences with ultra-low latency and full composability – without the tradeoffs of an L2. Partners include Pyth Lazer, for a 1ms price stream running in Ephemeral Rollups; and Jito, a leader in Solana’s validator ecosystem, collaborates with MagicBlock to enhance security with restaking and reducing execution time.
