Solana History Map is an interactive website that teaches people about the history of the Solana blockchain by walking them through 22 real events, such as outages, exploits, big infrastructure milestones, airdrops, and meme culture moments. Instead of just describing what happened, several of these events are turned into small interactive demonstrations, so a visitor can, for example, try recreating the mechanics behind the Wormhole exploit, or tamper with a working chain of SHA-256 hashes to see how Proof of History actually breaks when something is changed. The project cites its sources heavily, with 73 references drawn mostly from official post-mortems, court filings, and technical write-ups, and it tries to be honest about facts that are still disputed rather than smoothing them over. For instance, it notes that only a small fraction of drained wallets from one incident were ever traced back to a leaked server, and it flags that a technical claim about Proof of History is still debated among experts. Numbers used inside the interactive simulations are labeled as illustrative examples, while historical figures come from the sources being cited. Behind the scenes, the site is built as a small, dependency free static website using plain JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, with no framework and only a tiny amount of server code, which is a read only proxy that lets the live pulse feature check the Solana network. A script regenerates all 22 landmark pages, share images, the underlying dataset, and the sitemap from a single source file, so the whole site can be rebuilt consistently after any edit. The code is released under the MIT license, while the written content and dataset are released under a Creative Commons license that allows reuse and building on top of it with attribution. Anyone can run the site locally with a simple static file server, and there is no token, wallet connection, or advertising involved, just a public archive meant to be read, forked, and cited.
