Solana Logo Auction Raises $158,000 for Nepal Flood Relief
Solana is auctioning off ad spaces on its logo to raise money for Nepal flood relief efforts. The initiative, run by the Solana Foundation and Mallow Labs, has already raised over $158,000 in a 24-hour bidding window.
The flooding was caused by a glacier collapse above the Trishuli River on August 26. It damaged homes, roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure across communities in Nepal.
Solana's logo has been divided into nine separate zones for bidding. The highest bid on each zone at the end of the auction wins that spot. Winning bidders will have their brand logo or artwork displayed on Solana's official X profile picture and pinned post for one week after the auction closes.
The donations are collected transparently onchain by Engage Nepal, a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by former US Ambassador Scott DeLisi. The funds are then routed to the Government of Nepal's official Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund.
