About Us

MagicBlock is building the future of high-performance, fully on-chain applications.

We push the limits of real-time blockchain scalability, we empower developers to create unstoppable, decentralized experiences on Solana—without sacrificing speed, security, or composability.

How We Started

MagicBlock was founded by Andrea Fortugno and Gabriele Picco to solve scalability issues in blockchain gaming. Their innovation, ephemeral rollups, now extends beyond gaming to power DeFi, AI-driven dApps, and high-performance applications on Solana.

Our Purpose

We believe decentralized technology should be fast, seamless, and accessible. Our mission is to remove inefficiencies in blockchain infrastructure, allowing developers to build without constraints and create truly unstoppable digital experiences.

What We Do

MagicBlock builds next-gen blockchain infrastructure that scales applications without fragmentation. Our modular stack and ephemeral rollups enable high-speed, composable development for gaming, DeFi, and emerging Web3 applications on Solana.
