Colosseum

The @Solana Frontier Hackathon has concluded. Thanks to all builders who entered products! We're organizing the submissions & preparing to initiate the judging process, which will take 5/6 weeks. We will announce the total # of submissions & share a public directory soon.

For future hackathons, what if we required all participants to stake 1 SOL along with their product submission? If the submission was determined to be in the bottom 50%, your deposit would get slashed. For startups in the top 50%, their deposit would be returned.

Ownership: The First 5000 Years

INTRODUCING: Ejector Seat A new class of onchain risk protection. The first in DeFi that pulls capital from a venue before it breaks. Utilization spikes. Admin changes. Collateral swaps. The signals that precede any major exploit no longer go unanswered. For the DeFi pilots.

Introducing Rekt - the most entertaining way to trade on @solana. Perps. Prediction Markets. Bet Small. Win Big.

The Frontier Hackathon has ended but the journey from idea to full fledged start up is not over yet. It’s time to enter the Final Frontier. MetaDAO is sponsoring a competition for Frontier Hackathon participants who successfully raise on our permissionless fundraising platform Futardio. The top project (as judged by MetaDAO and Colosseum) will receive $10,000 in treasury funding courtesy of MetaDAO. The rules are simple: 1You participated in the Frontier Hackathon 2You began your raise on Futardio by May 19th 3You successfully raised at least $20,000 Every team that successfully raises will have their own unruggable ownership coin, a community of early believers and the eternal glory that comes from turning a hackathon dream into reality. The Final Frontier awaits. See you in the books!

Cofounder @guyukyukgu here. @andromedacomp (main author), @_cmger, and I just finished an economic research paper on Trepa as an oracle, built on @solana. 14 iterations. A real piece of mechanism design work. You can read it here: github.com/TrepaOrg/trepa…

The next wave of breakout startups on @Solana hath arrived.

did you use @colosseum copilot as part of your submission for Frontier? if yes, tell me how...

I will not rest until every @solana competitor is forced to submit a project to the @colosseum hackathon

I won the Radar hackathon infra track in 2024 For this last @colosseum hackathon day, here’s what I’d do: - refine how you explain your business, make sure it’s simple to understand and only pitch *one* value prop - make sure you have a great hook *that adds value to your pitch* - show a clear understanding of the business line: extremely painful problem and crystal clear solution - briefly explain why you the founder should be running this company - show real traction numbers - get user’s proof of usage - do your pitch alone (cofounders go in the tram slide if you have time) - record yourself 10, 20, 30 times until every slide feels like a punch - have fun and remember: the hackathon is just the first step of the journey Good luck my degens
