Positioning in Solana isn’t about titles, it’s about association over time.

Positioning Comes From Proximity

You don’t need to announce a niche. Your activity defines it.

• Hang out in consumer app conversations → people see you as consumer-focused
• Show up in dev channels or tech breakdown threads → you’re seen as builder-adjacent
• Engage in DeFi, payments, or infra discussions → that becomes your mental “home”

Proximity > declarations.

Communities Define Your Signal

Solana is made up of micro-communities:

• Superteam regions
• Global Hackathons
• Product groups
• Research circles

Being active in one or two consistently beats being everywhere occasionally.

Trust forms through repetition, not volume.

People remember:

• who asks thoughtful questions
• who follows up
