from case study to PMF In ~10 months, @solanaspaces has gone coast-to-coast: - $400K+ revenue - 100+ brand partners - >50% of all rev onchain

I’ll be honest - at first I didn't really see the point of pop-ups. To me, it felt like an events business that is not scalable. But what we’ve built is different: a trifecta of pop-ups, ecommerce, and an auction house. Together, they form the perfect beast - culture, commerce, and infrastructure all tied into one system. Something I'll often talk about with people & partners is you can’t fake demand for physical goods. When someone buys a hoodie, a vinyl, a plushie or a piece of art with us, that’s real volume, real proof of value. We believe this category is going to explode in the coming years - and we’re building the layer that scales with it. The architecture of our 3 verticals (pop-ups, ecommerce, auction house) is simple as we are tying it all to our central OMS that @SolanaSpacesDev built from scratch. And here’s the thing - while we’re Solana-first, the layer we’re building will scale far beyond Solana and beyond crypto. Because commerce is better with web3 features. Period. We’ve been lucky to have the @SolanaFndn + product teams in our corner, guiding us and believing in what we’re building. Truly grateful 🙏

having a goated Advisor like @vibhu has also given me fresh perspective on not trying to perfect the (ecomm) product. rather, focus on getting it in people's hands, broadening distribution, and then iterating.
