The new section of the network’s website will allow users to list their own projects, discover others and vote for their favorites.
Solana Labs Community’s Role Enhanced
Solana Labs has announced a new community-led ecosystem directory on Dec. 18.
The revamped section on the network’s website will allow users to list their own projects, discover new previously unheard-of projects and even vote for their favorite projects. Even though this section will be mostly community-led, Solana Labs would still have a “lighter” hand in curating projects for the page. However, this is subject to change at a later stage.
“This is a pretty big shift. We hope this will be a great launchpad for Solana users, people coming from other chains, and even those who are new to crypto to find new and exciting projects,” mentioned Josh Taylor, design lead at Solana Labs, in the official statement revealing the development.
“We want to make sure that the Solana ecosystem remains a safe environment. For now, Solana Labs will help filter out bad actors, but we’ll work with the ecosystem to come up with community-led solutions in the coming months,” added Taylor on the degree of control that Solana Labs would have on this new page.
As previously reported by Solana.News, the Solana Foundation has announced a bounty program for Web3 projects on Dec. 13. The initial group of projects that will be benefiting from this program is Drift Protocol, Saber, Socean Finance, and Holaplex.
