The engineering behind the experience

From a claw pull to collectible ownership, Gizmolab built the programs and backend services behind Beezie’s Solana experience. Event indexing and gas sponsorship connect that infrastructure to the product collectors use.

Solana backend architecture & engineering by Gizmolab

The appeal of Beezie is immediate: discover a collectible, take a pull, and decide what comes next. Making that experience work onchain takes coordinated programs, payments, inventory, and application data.

About

A new way to own the things you collect.

Beezie connects physical collectibles with digital ownership. Collectors can play claw machines, hold and trade the items they win, sell eligible items back, or redeem them for physical delivery. Its marketplace spans trading cards and other collectibles, with authenticated luxury becoming part of the same collecting experience.

Challenge

Make every pull work as one connected experience.

A single claw pull crosses several systems. The product has to accept payment, select an item from the right prize pool, transfer ownership, and make the outcome available to the application. A buyback adds another transaction path, while each machine needs its own inventory, pricing, and operating controls.

The frontend also needs a usable view of onchain activity. Claw pulls, redemptions, and prize distributions have to become structured data that the product can query and display. Transaction fees need a managed sponsorship path, with controls for the team operating the machines.

Solution

Build the programs, then connect the entire product.

Gizmolab designed and engineered Beezie’s Solana backend around machine accounts and isolated prize pools. We connected payment and collectible transfers to verifiable randomness, coordinating the commit-and-reveal flow for prize selection. The backend also handles machine administration and buyback workflows. Beezie’s team owns the collector-facing frontend.

We connected the application through APIs for program operations, machine state, and inventory. Testing, devnet validation, documentation, and technical handover gave Beezie’s product team a defined interface to build against. The live Solana experience settles payments and program-managed buybacks in USDC, with Metaplex Core representing collectible ownership.

We also delivered the Core event indexer and gas sponsorship layer. The indexer turns claw and redemption activity into queryable records and event streams. The transaction relay sponsors fees on behalf of users, with machine-level controls, spending budgets, and rate limits.

Results

$28M+ in Solana activity. A bigger market for collecting.

Beezie’s Solana product brings claw plays, digital ownership, buybacks, and marketplace activity into one collecting experience. Gizmolab delivered the backend foundation, including the indexing and transaction relay services that support the application around it.

The platform’s publicly tracked Solana volume shows the scale of that live activity. Beezie is also extending its collecting model into authenticated luxury with The Luxury Closet, opening the experience to a wider range of physical assets and shoppers.

DefiLlama’s Solana volume combines claw-play payments, gross buybacks, and marketplace sales. It measures transaction activity, including recirculated value. The available series runs from 18 August through 19 October 2026; snapshot retrieved 20 October 2026.
