Solana Launches $150M Web3 Growth Plan
New York, United States – October 20, 2025 – Solana Foundation, the organization behind the Solana blockchain, today announced the launch of its new “Solana Accelerate” initiative, a $150 million global program designed to strengthen the Web3 ecosystem by supporting developers, startups, and enterprises building on the Solana network. 🌐
The initiative reinforces Solana’s position as one of the world’s fastest and most efficient blockchains, capable of processing tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining near-zero fees and strong security. Through this program, the Solana Foundation aims to accelerate blockchain adoption worldwide and empower builders in key markets, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
🌐 Empowering Developers and Startups Worldwide
The Solana Accelerate program will provide technical, financial, and educational resources to emerging Web3 innovators. It includes direct grants for blockchain projects, incubation support, and mentorship from leading experts in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, NFTs, and infrastructure development.
Dan Albert, Executive Director of the Solana Foundation, stated:
“Solana has always been about speed, scalability, and accessibility. With Solana Accelerate, we’re doubling down on those principles by equipping developers with the tools, funding, and global reach they need to bring blockchain applications to billions of users.”
In addition to grants, the program will establish regional innovation hubs in Dubai, Singapore, London, and San Francisco, each focused on specific verticals — such as payments, tokenized assets, and artificial intelligence integrations with blockchain.
💼 Driving Web3 Education and Awareness
To promote long-term growth and knowledge sharing, the Solana Foundation will collaborate with universities and technology partners to launch new educational initiatives under the “Solana Learn” platform. This global education program will offer online courses, developer bootcamps, and certification programs in blockchain programming, decentralized app design, and smart contract development.
Lily Liu, President of Solana Foundation, commented:
“Education is key to Web3 adoption. We want to give students, entrepreneurs, and professionals around the world the confidence and skillset to innovate responsibly using blockchain technology.”
🌐 Strengthening Global Partnerships
Solana is partnering with leading organizations across multiple industries — including finance, logistics, and gaming — to expand blockchain use cases beyond speculation. New partnerships with cloud providers, fintech firms, and cross-chain protocols will allow Solana-based apps to scale more effectively while ensuring interoperability with other networks.
The initiative will also encourage developers to explore green blockchain applications, capitalizing on Solana’s energy-efficient architecture that consumes less power per transaction than a few Google searches.
“Sustainability has always been central to Solana’s design,” said Raj Gokal, Co-Founder of Solana. “We believe that blockchain innovation must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility, and our Accelerate program will reflect that commitment.”
💼 Building for the Next Billion Users
The Solana Accelerate initiative represents a major step toward the network’s long-term vision of onboarding one billion users into the decentralized internet. By simplifying development, reducing costs, and expanding community engagement, Solana aims to make blockchain technology accessible to both individuals and institutions.
The foundation will continue collaborating with major exchanges, infrastructure providers, and regulatory bodies to ensure that innovation aligns with global compliance standards while maintaining the openness of the Solana ecosystem.
Anatoly Yakovenko, Co-Founder of Solana Labs, stated:
“Our mission is to create an internet where ownership and value flow freely. Solana Accelerate brings us closer to that reality by empowering builders and users alike to shape the decentralized future.”
