Watch the recap here.
Weekly Breakout Hackathon Calls
For the first two weeks, we had our regular weekly calls and the rest of the month we hosted calls to support builders for the Solana Breakout Hackathon.
In a previous newsletter, we informed you about our partnership with Azza, an AI agent on WhatsApp that facilitates fast, secure, and effortless cryptocurrency trading, including on/off-ramping services. This month, we had our first call with them, during which they provided more insights into their product and explained why they decided to build their service on WhatsApp. Get the details here.
Cryptonia - a stablecoin to fiat off-ramp platform for web3 earners who spend in their local currency, was one of our top-performing products last month, and this month we brought them up on our second call. They shared with us how they are eliminating P2P stress and delays in less than 10 seconds. Learn more here.
By the third week, we fully embraced the hackathon and calls were put in place to ensure builders get the necessary support needed for the Solana Breakout Hackathon.
First we kicked off with “Build In the Open”. This provided an opportunity for our founders to showcase their products and get feedback from the Product Guild Lead.
Next was the Design Jam and Product Breakdown Series hosted by the Design and Writers Guild respectively. The Design Jam was an avenue for products to present their product and get roasted based on their UI/UX, their onboarding process, the color scale and the functionality of their product as well. The Product Breakdown Series gave founders the opportunity to reach out to more audiences, share insights about their product and get questions from the community about their product.
Wednesdays were for Pitch Deck reviews. Founders presented their pitch deck and got feedback from our Country leads Nzube Ezudo and Harri Obi as well as from Ashley, the product guild lead, on how to amend it in preparation for the hackathon.
Thursdays were our normal weekly calls, focused on the hackathon. This time we featured Verxio Protocol, and Chatter.
On Fridays we hosted X spaces, highlighting our top projects for the month.
Vibe coding and Prompt Jam on Sundays continued with devs competing for $100 weekly.
Get the details of the calls here.
