Solana has established a store in the real world. On 29th of July marks, the official launch of Solana Spaces’ first location, which is located at 20 Hudson Yards in New York City.
The Solana Foundation and many ecosystem partners have worked together to create the shop, which will be open from 10:00 to 20:00 on Monday through Saturday and from 11:00 to 19:00 on Sunday.
CEO of Solana Spaces Vibhu Norby stated that the new physical Solana stores would introduce the Solana ecosystem to up to 100,000 people each month while also hinting at intentions to launch a virtual storefront shortly.
Key Highlights:
- The Hudson Yards neighboring New York City, now gets a Solana shop for the first time.
- Visitors to the area will have access to instructional materials, blockchain experiences, and Solana-based goods, like NFTs.
- Solana also released its smartphone last month to provide mobile cryptocurrency experiences.
The store targets those new to blockchain technology and claims to be “the world’s first retail [and] instructional space devoted to Web3.” Visitors will have access to training materials, programming services, and experiences based on the Solana on-chain, as well as the chance to win “special incentives” for participating in actual shop activities.
Solana (SOL) is home to more than a thousand decentralized applications (Dapps), including social media, gambling, trading platforms, and nonfungible tokens (NFTs).
Visitors have responded well to the new store thus far. On July 28, Reciprocal VC partner Craig Burel referred to it as “quite spectacular” on Twitter, reiterating the opinions of other customers.
