SolanaFloor

SolanaFloor is a news site that writes only about Solana. It posts news each day, runs live shows each week, sends a newsletter and has guides for people who are new. All of it is free to read.

SolanaFloor began in 2021 as a tool that tracked the prices of Solana NFTs. It grew into a newsroom under Step Finance. Jito has owned it since March 2026.

That last fact is the one to keep in mind. Jito builds some of the biggest products on Solana, and SolanaFloor reports on that same market. The site's about page says it "operates with full editorial independence".

Who owns SolanaFloor? Jito, Step Finance and the 2026 shutdown

Jito owns SolanaFloor. The site calls itself "a subsidiary of the Jito Network". The Jito Foundation, a group that backs Jito's growth, made the deal public on 10 March 2026. Jito is the site's third owner in five years.

The first owner was the team that launched SolanaFloor in 2021 as an NFT data tool. Step Finance STEP$0.00011+1.6% bought it in July 2022 and did not name the price. Under Step Finance the site turned from a data tool into a newsroom.

Then Step Finance was hacked. In late January 2026 a thief drained its funds. CoinDesk put the loss at $27 million, and some other outlets gave a higher figure. Step Finance could not raise money or find a buyer. On 23 February 2026 SolanaFloor said it would wind down "effective immediately", Crypto Briefing reported. Its old stories stayed online.

About two weeks later the Jito Foundation bought the site and it began to publish again. The price was not shared. "When SolanaFloor went dark, the ecosystem lost something difficult to replace," Brian Smith, the foundation's president, said in the CoinDesk report. Jito JTO$0.471-3.6% is the team behind the JitoSOL staking token and software that many Solana validators run.

SolanaFloor news: what it covers and how it publishes

SolanaFloor news is a daily feed of short reports and longer pieces about Solana. The news page sorts them by topic. The topics include DeFi, stablecoins, memecoins, Solana ETFs, new rules and laws, and stocks and funds that have been turned into tokens.

A lot of the stories start from data. On a normal day you might see a chart that sets a record, a product launch and a court case. The team also writes round-ups on a set schedule. One covers token unlocks each month. One sums up each quarter on Solana.

The fastest feed is on X. The @SolanaFloor account posts headlines all day, and they often land there before the full story is on the site. If you search for "SolanaFloor X" or "SolanaFloor Twitter", this is the account you want.

The team page names nine staff. Awais Afzal is the editor. The rest include two writers, a video team and a designer. You can read the site in 11 languages, among them Spanish, Turkish and Japanese.

SolanaFloor Seeker hub: tracking Solana Mobile rewards and airdrops

The SolanaFloor Seeker hub is a page that gathers rewards, offers and news for owners of the Seeker, the crypto phone made by Solana Mobile. SolanaFloor calls it "The Portal for All Things Seeker". It lists current rewards, past rewards and the latest Seeker stories in one place.

The hub is a directory. You do not claim anything on SolanaFloor itself. Each reward is run by the project offering it, so you follow the link and claim on that project's own site or app. A past example is a Helium Mobile offer of three free months of phone service for Seeker holders.

Treat every outbound claim link with the same care you would use anywhere else in crypto. Check the address in your browser before you connect a wallet, and read what a transaction does before you approve it. A listing on the hub tells you a reward exists. It does not vouch for the project behind it.

Solana Weekly News, The Big Picture and other SolanaFloor livestreams

SolanaFloor runs four regular video shows, all listed on its livestreams page. They stream on X and YouTube, and three of them air weekly at 11:00 Eastern time.

Solana Weekly News is also released as a podcast. The Solana Foundation's podcast directory lists Jack Dunham, Finn Miller and Thomas Bahamas as its hosts.

If you would rather read than watch, the Solana Weekly News newsletter sends the top six stories of the week by email. It is published on Substack and is free.

SolanaFloor Learn guides and the Solana ETF tracker

SolanaFloor Learn is the site's set of how-to guides. The Learn pages are marked by level. They start with "Crypto for Beginners" and how to set up a wallet. They move on to a mid-level guide to DeFi, then to guides for people who write code. You will also find guides on how to swap tokens, on NFTs and on games.

The site's main menu also links to an ETF tracker. It follows the Solana funds that trade on stock markets. When those funds have a big week of new money, the news team writes it up. If you hold SOL through a broker, this part of the site is for you.

The guides explain ideas. They do not rank one provider against the next with live data. Say you want to stake your SOL. A guide will tell you how staking works, but you will still need a place to compare validators by commission and uptime before you choose one.

What happened to the SolanaFloor NFT floor-price tool?

SolanaFloor is no longer an NFT tool. The name comes from "floor price", which is the lowest price asked for any NFT in a set. The first product, in 2021, tracked floor prices and other NFT data on Solana. That is why some old lists still file the site under NFT tools.

Step Finance bought the site in 2022 and turned it into a news outlet. The menu now reads News, Learn, Videos, Seeker, ETFs, Newsletters and Livestreams. There is no NFT dashboard. NFTs are now just one of the things the team writes about.

One more point comes up in searches. You cannot buy SolanaFloor stock. The site is a private arm of Jito and has no shares on any market.

Who SolanaFloor is for

SolanaFloor is for people who want one daily read on Solana, so they do not have to follow dozens of project accounts. Three groups get the most from it.

If you trade or use Solana apps most days, the X feed and the Friday show keep you up to date on launches, records and market moves. If you own a Seeker phone, the Seeker hub helps you not miss a reward. If you are new, the Learn guides give you a place to start.

It is a weaker fit if you want news on other chains. SolanaFloor writes about the wider crypto market only where it touches Solana. It is also a news site, so it does not replace your own checks. Before you act on a story about a project, read that project's own docs and its own post.

Is SolanaFloor independent and reliable? Ownership and conflict risks

SolanaFloor says its newsroom is independent, and its owner is still a risk you should weigh. Jito pays for the site. Jito is also a large Solana business. So SolanaFloor reports on its owner, on its owner's rivals and on the market they share. A written policy can limit that conflict. It cannot remove it.

SolanaFloor has put these rules in writing:

• Its ethics policy says "Jito Foundation has no direct control over editorial decisions".
• Editor Awais Afzal said at the time of the sale that the newsroom's daily work would stay apart from the Jito Foundation, FinanceFeeds reported.
• Staff must list their crypto holdings above $5,000, not counting stablecoins. A public page shows them by name and says it is updated each quarter.
• Paid stories should carry a label near the top. Fixes to a story are marked with an "Updated on" note.

Each rule has a limit. Staff report their own holdings, and no one outside checks them. One video host lists advisor roles and stakes in a number of Solana projects. The site also sells ad packages that can include posts about a launch, a run of content and custom videos.

You can see the overlap with Jito on the page. SolanaFloor shows ads for JTX, which is Jito's trading app. It has also run a guide with the title "What is JTX: Solana's Most Complete Trading Platform". For a second view of that product, read our own JTX guide.

Two more risks are worth a line each. SolanaFloor has shut once before, in February 2026, when its last owner failed. Its future rests on Jito's support. And SolanaFloor is a publisher. It does not hold your funds and it runs no programs on Solana. The real danger is that you act on a headline, a paid post or a reward link and do not check it first.

SolanaFloor alternatives for Solana news

The main alternatives to SolanaFloor are the big crypto news sites and other sites that write only about Solana. Pick by what you need: depth on Solana, or a view of the whole market.

CoinDesk and The Defiant report on all of crypto. Both wrote about SolanaFloor's own sale to Jito, which shows why a view from outside Solana is useful. They cover fewer of Solana's small launches.

Solana Compass, the site you are reading, also publishes Solana news. We compete with SolanaFloor for readers. We also run a Solana validator, so we have conflicts of our own. Our focus is data from the chain: we pair the news with live numbers on validators, staking and the network.

Whichever site you read, a project's own blog, docs and X account are the last check.

SolanaFloor's edge is volume and format. It posts more Solana stories each day than a general site does, and it adds live shows. The trade-off is the question of who owns it.
