LOOM

BEFORE SOLANA,
THERE WAS LOOM.

The forgotten name behind Solana's earliest history.

THE RECEIPTS

LOOM WAS REAL.

An early version of Anatoly Yakovenko's Proof of History paper was titled:

“Loom: A new architecture for a high performance blockchain”

and used:

anatoly@loomprotocol.com

“Loom generates a Proof of History.”
Loom whitepaper v0.8.5/Anatoly Yakovenko

THE NAME CHANGE

2017

LOOM

The Proof of History architecture appears under the Loom name.

MARCH 2018

SOLANA

The project moved away from Loom to avoid confusion with the existing Ethereum-based Loom Network. Solana was chosen as a reference to Solana Beach, California.

THE NAME IS REAL.
THE LOGO ISN'T CONFIRMED.

The logo pictures being circulated on X right now are from

NEW POSTS / COMMUNITY PROJECTS,

so we absolutely should NOT call those the original Loom logo.

CONFIRMED

ORIGINAL LOOM LOGO

NOT FOUND

“Not found” means: not found in the historical evidence collected on this site.

We can verify the Loom name from the surviving whitepaper and historical material. We have not found sufficient primary evidence establishing the circulating logo as the original Solana-era Loom logo.

FROM LOOM TO THE TRENCHES

SOLANA IS THE CHAIN OF DOGS.

Years after Loom became Solana, the chain developed one of crypto's strongest dog meme cultures.

the timeline is writing the rest.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEV

THIS IS MY LAST PROJECT ON SOL.

This is my last project on Solana. Everything I have goes into this one. No side plays, no next ticker — I am dedicating myself fully to LOOM.

To the trenches: we have fought each other over a thousand dead charts. This is the one where we reunite. One name, one story, one push.

WHERE THE FEES GO

MARKETING

Pushing the Loom story everywhere it needs to be seen.

COMMUNITY CONTESTS

Meme competitions and rewards for the trenches.

GIVEAWAYS

Straight back to the holders who hold the line.

FEEDING LP POOLS

Deepening liquidity so the chart can breathe.
