This week in Solana

<i>A weekly round-up of everything that happened in the Solana ecosystem</i>

Solana city is booming right now with a ton of great teams building some of the best and most innovative products in the entire crypto ecosystem. The community is stronger than it has ever been and the devs have been building more than ever before.

That is why we're starting this weekly round-up series of everything that happens in the Solana ecosystem because, trust us, it's a LOT.

So this is the first edition of "This week in Solana" brought to you by the Gum (and Wordcel) team!

Here are all the updates from the last week in Solana city.

First off, we at the GumHQ have been chewing gum and released a new React SDK along with a collection of UI components using Next-UI that you can easily integrate into your app.

If you've not started chewing gum yet, this is a reminder for you to start right now!

<a href="https://twitter.com/viksit">Viksit</a> released Solarplex, a platform to submit and discover Solana projects powered by Dispatch Forums. It also allows users to give feedback to projects and earn karma for them.

This would be a huge addition to the space enabling discovery for new projects so that they can reach more people and capture attention like never before.

Check it out <a href="https://www.solarplex.xyz/">here</a>.

The Helium team just announced that the Helium Network will officially migrate to Solana on the 27th of March.

This would be a huge upgrade to Helium's scalability and reliability. Check out their <a href="https://blog.helium.com/the-next-era-of-the-helium-network-begins-on-march-27th-6d08f2b048e0">blog</a> to learn more.

CandyPay, one of the fastest shipping teams in the Solana ecosystem just shipped their Checkout feature.

A pre-built, low-code solution for you to start accepting crypto payments on Solana with ease. All in one click. Check it out here!

Speaking of shipping, Helius just shipped their Solana NFT API.

It enables developers to access everything they need about Solana NFTs fast and with ease. Read their announcement to learn more.

Jupiter just launched their token list API -&nbsp;an open, collaborative and dynamic token list to make trading on Solana a more transparent and safer experience for users and developers.

Learn more about it in their blog <a href="https://blog.jup.ag/token-list-api/">here</a>.

Step Finance just launched early access to their on-chain analytics.

This provides on-chain data for almost every token, LP and Farm in popular pools, watchlists for tokens and pools/farms along with real-time information. You can also check out TVL, price and APY for all popular DeFi protocols on Solana.

The Dialect team just keeps crushing it with new sticker packs being added to their smart messaging app daily. This is one of the many they released last week.

Rumour has it that there might be a Gum sticker pack in the works. You heard it here first.

And while we're here, the Grizzlython hackathon is in full flow powered by a bunch of IRL Build Stations happening around the world.

If you can, do visit a Build Station near you and start building IRL!

Last but not the least, just look at this image. It's beautiful, isn't it?

That's it for this week. Do let us know if we missed out on something and tell us on <a href="https://twitter.com/wordcel_club">@wordcel_club</a>&nbsp;or in our <a href="https://t.co/862IEhLINn">Discord</a> if there's something we should cover for next week.
