What wouldyou build now?
We asked people shaping the ecosystem one question: what should exist that Solana makes possible now?
The requests
Ideas worth building
Eleven starting points. None of them are finished.
The opportunity
Give homeowners and future buyers a market for housing risk.
Build a perpetual market tied to a metropolitan housing index. A homeowner could hedge a fall in local prices, while someone saving for a home could take exposure to a market they cannot yet afford to enter. The product starts with a trustworthy index and a market liquid enough to serve both sides.
- Why now
- Matty Taylor points to an idea that earlier housing futures struggled to deliver: a liquid way to manage the risk concentrated in a home. Crypto market infrastructure creates another chance to make it useful.
- Why Solana
- Use onchain market infrastructure to connect participants around housing indices, with transparent positions and programmable settlement.
Starting points
- Choose one city and define an index with reliable, licensed data.
- Design the market for both homeowners and people saving to buy.
- Prototype liquidity, collateral, and oracle behavior before expanding.
