Every project has its spark. For Sanaol, that spark started in 2017, when one of our developers worked on an Ethereum project that didn’t succeed. The ending lit a new beginning: a belief that blockchain could bring transparency, fairness, and accountability to everyday systems.
Curiosity turned into exploration—across BNB, Fantom, Polygon, RON, and more. By 2019, the dream of a homegrown chain took shape. During the pandemic, we asked: what if blockchain could track healthcare budgets in real time, ensuring funds reached people instead of getting lost?
Later, shifting to Solana clarified how a local chain for Filipinos could work: fast payments, voting integrity, budget transparency, and civic infrastructure like flood control—areas where corruption has long eroded trust.
The birth of Sanaol
These experiences crystallized into Sanaol: a Rust-based, Solana-inspired distributed ledger built for the Philippines. We’ll start with the $SANA token on Solana while the mainnet matures through careful testnet cycles.
It’s not about hype or profit. It’s about proving that simple ideas can spark real change: letting citizens see where money flows, inviting communities into decisions, and inspiring developers to build for country, not just clout.
Our mission is simple: not to get rich, but to make a difference. From a “pet project” to a people’s chain, Sanaol is proof that when passion meets purpose, small sparks can light the way to bigger change.
