Welcome to Solana Social Summer ☀️ A wave of new apps is turning @solana into a social playground, from copy-trading feeds to collectible chats to onchain mini games. We wanted to give a taste of the ecosystem in one place:

2/ Across every category, social is becoming the default UX: 🎮 Games – @luxdotgg, @yapsterxyz, @ogprotocol, 📈 Trading – @tryfomo, @TradeVala, @meleemarkets 🎶 Culture – @dripsterdotfun, @indiedotfun, @chances_social 🔐 Wallet – @solflare, @Backpack, @phantom 🚀 Launchpad – @LaunchOnBags, @believeapp, @bonk_fun …all part of a shared network.

3/ Why now? Because the hardest part of building a social app (identity, relationships, activity) is getting abstracted into infra. Solana’s speed + Tapestry’s composability lets small teams ship full-featured products in days, not months.

4/ When you connect your wallet in these apps, you don’t start from zero. You see a feed. You recognize names. You copy trades, leave comments, follow back. The graph is already there. That’s the unlock.

5/ There’s no single killer app. The network is the product. These apps all share the same social layer. They compound together. Every new app makes the graph richer, and every new user makes the next app better. That’s what makes this summer different.

6/ Infra is here. The graph is live. If you’re building a product that needs users, identity, or interaction, plug in. 🔗
