There will soon be a Solana-themed shop in New York City. The Solana Foundation, the group behind the Solana blockchain network, has partnered with Hudson Yards to open a new shop called Solana Spaces. There has been a steady rise in the popularity of crypto and Web3 businesses in recent years.
Blockchain-based companies like Bored Ape Yacht Club have expanded into real-world goods and enterprises. A brick-and-mortar store is something that Solana, which recently revealed plans for its own Android smartphone, looks to cherish as well.
The Solana Spaces team tweeted:
“Inside [the store], you’ll learn how Solana works, what Web3 is. We’ll set you up with a wallet and your first NFTs, and guide you through your first on-chain transactions.”

It added that it designed the space to be a “cultural center” and “embassy” for Solana. Consumers may also take part in an interactive art piece and shop for Solana-branded products like the limited edition Blanksoles footwear and NFT and Phantom wallet instructions. This past weekend, Solana Spaces allowed a small group of 30 people to have a sneak peek at the business before it officially opened to the public. The crypto community showed excitement about a Solana physical store and anticipated others to follow the steps for mass crypto adoption.
