What It Is
Solana ANZ is the official community hub for Solana in Australia and New Zealand. It's where ANZ builders, developers, and enthusiasts connect, share, and grow the ecosystem locally.
What We Do
The site covers four main pillars: Community, Events, Airdrops, and Merchandise. We run regular meetups, hackathons, and educational events across Australia and New Zealand. Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Brisbane, Gold Coast — we're active across the region.
The anzSOL Token
To fund community operations and support Aussie and Kiwi projects in the Solana ecosystem, we launched anzSOL — a liquid staking token for the ANZ community. Token address: ANZvHuXQh5DnBMzJ55MUyMtPxkdphgBwiPeYji2B3kxS. Buying anzSOL directly supports downunder Solana projects.
The Team
I'm Head of Australia for Solana ANZ, based in Melbourne. The team is distributed across the region — Adrian in Sydney, Craig in Auckland, Darren on the Gold Coast, Nissan in Brisbane, Ariel and Shane in Melbourne. Co-founded by Johnny Forfar (now inactive).
Why ANZ
The ANZ crypto scene is real and growing. We have genuine developers, traders, and builders in this timezone who need local community, local events, and local context. Solana ANZ exists to make that happen — and to put Australia and New Zealand on the map in the global Solana ecosystem.
Join Us
The community lives primarily on Telegram. Jump in, come to the next meetup, and connect with Solana people in your timezone.
