Howdy BULBers 👋
Today, we're thrilled to share the news of our partnership with our new friends at SolanaFM
In recent weeks, our teams have collaborated closely to explore exciting partnership opportunities that will greatly benefit our communities.
Both BULB and SolanaFM are deeply committed to rewarding users for their engagement, providing a platform for sharing Web3 projects and resources, and overall education about blockchain data. To kick off the BULB <> SolanaFM partnership, BULB will be hosting a SolanaFM writing competition.

Background
SolanaFM is a next-generation Solana Explorer making raw blockchain data more understandable for everyday users.
Built on speed and power, SolanaFM enables you to track transactions, monitor real-time activity on wallets, and gain comprehensive visibility into your assets and balances.
You can hop over to their explorer via solana.fm
For builders, you can refer to the SolanaFM API docs and developer resources: docs.solana.fm
You can also join their Discord community and chat with the team directly: discord.gg/K9VNGyQgZc
How to start using SolanaFM
Users can start by connecting their wallet to SolanaFM.
Once your wallet is connected, you can easily pull up your overview under View Account.
The entire information of your wallet is condensed for you on your Account page, where you can view your wallet’s Tokens, NFTs, Transfers, Domain Names & Stakes.
With the recent upgrades, SolanaFM also enables you to personalise your experience by tagging and labelling your own accounts, making it easier to organise and manage them.
Additionally, you can follow your accounts of interest so you can stay updated on their recent activities and movements.
Note: To make SolanaFM your default explorer, go to your wallet ‘Settings’ -> ‘Preferences’ -> ‘Prefered Explorer’ & select SolanaFM.
