A map of the Solana ecosystem

An ecosystem is not a leaderboard. It is a set of people, software, infrastructure, standards, and public conversations that change over time.

Kijoli groups the landscape by function so readers can ask better questions about what a project does, who maintains it, and where its documentation lives.
