Poof Beta Fuels Solana App Boom Amid Developer Surge

With this tool, anyone can build Solana-based applications using everyday language — no coding skills required.

Poof, the Solana-based application builder, has launched its open beta, enabling anyone to create onchain applications using simple language.

This development comes as Solana sees a surge in developer interest. According to Electric Capital's Developer Report, Solana saw a 39% year-over-year increase in active developers as of late 2024, in contrast to the broader trend of declining participation across other chains.

Poof's technology allows users to input their ideas and have them deployed as fully functional smart contracts with a corresponding user interface.

One early user has already created a token-gated trivia game, permitting only holders of a specific NFT to participate. The project quickly caught the attention of a local gaming DAO, which is now exploring how to expand the concept. It's a reminder that even small ideas can scale rapidly in the onchain environment.

"New Poof beta is live. Now anyone can bring their onchain ideas to life on @solana with just a simple prompt. Try it now at: https://t.co/mCOuZIFgjP See examples below 👇"

Poof is part of a broader movement toward no-code blockchain development. As crypto grows beyond finance, creators from music, gaming, and social media are entering the space. However, many lack the technical background to write smart contracts or launch apps.

Poof aims to lower the barrier to entry, inviting a broader range of voices into the Web3 ecosystem, including artists, educators, and entrepreneurs. The app currently supports custom prompts for utility-focused features like token airdrops, governance voting, and reward systems. As user-generated content and AI-assisted tools continue to reshape the web, Poof positions itself at the intersection of accessibility and decentralization.
