Crypto News & Media Platforms

Blockworks is a New York crypto media company whose news platform covers digital assets, macro markets, DeFi, regulation and blockchain infrastructure, with Solana among the networks it reports on. Alongside the newsroom it runs a podcast network led by Empire, which has released more than 665 episodes since February 2021, and in 2024 it acquired The Breakdown and The Drop. The coverage is written for investors, traders and industry professionals who want context rather than retail price commentary, and the Empire Newsletter carries the same analysis in written form. Blockworks covers crypto as a whole rather than Solana alone, so readers after ecosystem-only news will find Solana stories mixed in with everything else.

Don't Forget To Blink (DFTB) was a Solana news outlet focused on a single topic: Solana Blinks. Its daily Beehiiv newsletter, "Wink by Don't Forget To Blink", ran numbered "Daily Wink" editions highlighting new and notable blinks, with at least 38 issues confirmed and community references putting the count past 70. Creator Daniel Akang ran it as a sister brand to his Fomo Fix newsletter on Substack. DFTB suited readers who wanted a short daily digest of the early blinks ecosystem in the months after the Actions standard launched in mid-2024. The newsletter is no longer available, though: the Beehiiv publication has been deleted, the dftb.xyz site is offline and the project wound down quietly around late 2024, so its value now is mainly historical.

SolanaFloor is a free news site that covers only Solana, with a daily feed of short reports and longer pieces sorted by topic, from DeFi and stablecoins to memecoins, Solana ETFs and tokenized stocks. Its @SolanaFloor account on X often carries headlines before the full story reaches the site, and the team adds four regular livestreams, including Solana Weekly News on Fridays, plus a free weekly newsletter. Readers who want one daily read on Solana, rather than following dozens of project accounts, will get the most from it. The trade-off is ownership: Jito has owned SolanaFloor since March 2026, so the site reports on its owner and that owner's rivals. A written ethics policy and staff holdings disclosures limit the conflict but cannot remove it, and news on other chains appears only where it touches Solana.

FOMO Magazine is Solana's print and digital publication, producing accessible, culture-focused coverage of the Solana blockchain ecosystem. Content spans NFT project spotlights, meme-token coverage, DeFi developments, and long-form interviews with ecosystem builders, with an editorial tone aimed at explaining on-chain activity to readers at all experience levels. The publication distributes both physically and digitally, with printed editions handed out at meetups, ecosystem summits, and Web3 conference floors. Event-embedded journalism is a defining characteristic, with the team generating coverage on-site at major gatherings including Zebu Live in London, SuperteamUK community events, APEX Singapore in 2025, and Solana Conference in Abu Dhabi.

Solana Tour aggregated and published information about Solana ecosystem events at major crypto conferences, operating as a real-time departures board for side events, meetups, and activations. Community members could submit events for listing, making the platform a participatory information hub rather than a top-down editorial product. Its interface organized upcoming, ongoing, and completed events across multiple conferences into a single navigable view. The project maintained a Luma calendar at luma.com/solanatour and distributed updates through its X account to reach conference-goers across the broader Solana community. Launched in early 2024 as a lean community initiative without institutional backing, it gave attendees a reference point for the ecosystem's global conference schedule. As of mid-2026, the domain has lapsed and no upcoming events are listed, indicating the project is inactive.

OAK Research distributes crypto and traditional finance content to more than 30,000 newsletter subscribers and reaches a broader audience across Discord, Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X. The platform's editorial scope includes a daily news monitoring layer alongside recurring formats such as market briefings and the Alpha Recap series, which tracks token launches, earnings reports, and ecosystem events. The team draws on backgrounds in crypto journalism: analyst Maximilien Prue was formerly editor-in-chief at Cryptoast, France's largest crypto media outlet, and business development is led by Maxime Jegou, who has worked in cryptocurrency since 2016. Content is adapted for both professional analysts and a broader retail readership across long-form reports, video, and short-form social formats.

The platform's editorial team produces daily news coverage, analysis, and explainer content, serving both retail investors and institutional participants who rely on timely, accessible reporting on market developments and protocol updates.
