CONCEPT

GotSOL: Bringing Solana to the US Virgin Islands

We are building GotSOL, a blockchain-powered ecosystem that introduces Solana-based business solutions to the US Virgin Islands. Our goal is to modernize commerce, tourism, and government services by leveraging the speed, security, and cost efficiency of Solana.

Why This Matters?

The US Virgin Islands, despite its tourism-driven economy, lacks modern financial and business infrastructure. High transaction fees, limited payment options, and outdated inventory systems create inefficiencies for businesses and tourists alike.

GotSOL provides a suite of Solana-powered tools to address these challenges:

• GotSOL Payment App – Enables seamless crypto transactions for businesses and tourists. (Live & functional!)

• GotSOL Tourists App – Helps visitors discover and book experiences with Solana payments. (Pending approval and App Store deployment)

• Inventory Management System – Streamlines local business operations, reducing waste and increasing revenue. Save small business owners money from 3rd Party fees. (Seeking funding.)

• GotSOL DApp – A decentralized platform to expand Solana’s presence in the region. (Pending development.)

Why We’re Building This?

GotSOL is more than just a business—it’s a movement to bridge the Caribbean to blockchain technology. By integrating Solana into everyday commerce, we empower businesses, improve financial accessibility, and position the USVI as a leader in Web3 adoption.

We welcome the Solana Foundation’s support to expand this mission and drive real-world adoption in the Caribbean.

Why Us?

GotSOL is uniquely positioned to drive Solana adoption in the US Virgin Islands due to our deep understanding of both Web3 technology and the local business landscape. Our team has hands-on experience integrating blockchain payment solutions, with a strong focus on Solana’s high-speed, low-cost transactions.

We have successfully developed and deployed the GotSOL Payment App, which allows local businesses to accept Solana payments seamlessly. Additionally, our GotSOL Tourists App is pending approval, and we are actively developing an Inventory Management System to provide local merchants with the tools they need to modernize operations.

Our founder brings a background in finance, government operations, and technology integration, having worked on large-scale systems implementations. This expertise, combined with experience in Web3 adoption strategies, positions GotSOL as the ideal vehicle to introduce Solana-powered solutions to the Caribbean market.

We are committed to expanding the Solana ecosystem by onboarding businesses, educating users, and building scalable, decentralized solutions that benefit both locals and tourists.

Competition

GotSOL operates in a unique space where traditional payment processors, Web3 payment solutions, and business management platforms overlap. Our primary competitors include traditional payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Square), crypto payment gateways (BitPay, Solana Pay), and inventory management systems (Square POS, Shopify, QuickBooks).

What sets GotSOL apart? Unlike traditional processors, GotSOL offers lower transaction fees, instant settlement, and no chargebacks via Solana. Compared to Solana Pay, GotSOL provides a localized approach with direct business onboarding, hands-on support, and an integrated ecosystem including tourism and inventory management solutions.

Most competitors focus on either payments or business operations—GotSOL combines both, making it the first Solana-powered, full-stack business solution tailored for the Caribbean. Our local-first approach, deep community engagement, and direct government collaboration ensure long-term adoption and scalability in a way that competitors lack.
