Shipyard Pakistan

Most startups don’t fail because of the product. They fail because they can’t raise the first $100K. We’re fixing that for builders in the @solana ecosystem. 🚨 Introducing the CyreneAI Genesis Accelerator. Founders can now raise up to $100K in seed capital.

@ShipyardPAK building begins 😤

Builders from across Pakistan joined us yesterday for the Community Call. We discussed ideas for the upcoming Colosseum Hackathon, team formation, and how builders can start preparing their projects. We also walked through how Superteam Pakistan will support teams during the hackathon with mentorship, feedback, and guidance to help them ship stronger submissions. Good to see new teams forming and momentum building. Now it’s time to start building.

Pakistan has one of the fastest growing developer ecosystems in the world. We’re launching the Superteam Pakistan Ideathon to discover the next wave of Web3 startup ideas coming from builders across the country. If you’ve been thinking about a product, protocol, or application built on Solana, this is the place to pitch it. Selected teams will receive mentorship and support to refine their ideas and prepare to build them during the upcoming Colosseum Hackathon. Apply Now: forms.gle/3qFijdig9TecLa…

Colosseum is around the corner. Let’s get the builders together. We’re hosting a community call for teams preparing for the upcoming Colosseum Hackathon to discuss ideas, team formation, and what support builders need before things kick off. 🗓 Mar 15, 2026 🕚 11 PM PKT Register: luma.com/5nmo2fsz

If you're experimenting with AI + Solana, this is worth bookmarking. The @SolanaFndn has published Awesome Solana AI, a curated list of tools, frameworks, and resources for building AI-powered applications on Solana. It includes resources for: • AI-assisted smart contract development • Autonomous onchain agents • AI developer tooling • Frameworks and SDKs for agent systems • Examples and learning resources Instead of searching across dozens of repos and docs, this puts the AI + Solana builder stack in one place. A useful starting point if you're exploring how AI systems can interact with onchain infrastructure. github.com/solana-foundat…

$30,000 up for grabs The Solana Agent Economy Hackathon: Agent Talent Show is now open. Builders are invited to create agent skills or applications that allow AI agents to interact with crypto systems and onchain services. 🗓 March 11 – March 27 How to participate: 1. Publish an X Article explaining your project 2. Quote the hackathon announcement and include the link to your article 3. Tag @trendsdotfun, @solana_devs, @BitgetWallet and add #AgentTalentShow Submissions will be publicly showcased for the community to explore. If you’re experimenting with AI agents and onchain automation, this is a great opportunity to ship.

A single bounty worth over $1M just went live on @SuperteamEarn. This is the kind of opportunity that only exists on @solana.

.@solana has something for everyone

The network keeps growing. Welcome @SuperteamUSA 🇺🇸 More builders. More founders. More things getting shipped.

Build something awesome this weekend. Awesome Solana AI is a great resource for agents, skills, and tools. github.com/solana-foundat…

@SuperteamUSA The Solana Dream 🫡

Superteam USA is here. Our mission: accelerating founders across America. An elite community for builders across AI, biohacking, consumer products, onchain payments, and more.

@SolanaFloor @jito_sol LFGG

SolanaFloor is back. As of today, we are thrilled to announce that SolanaFloor has been acquired by @jito_sol and will resume operations under the Jito Foundation’s ownership while maintaining full editorial independence. After announcing a wind-down in February 2026 following an exploit tied to our parent organization, we explored external financing and acquisition options. However, the team was unable to secure a viable path forward at the time, leaving a gap in independent coverage of onchain activity across the Solana ecosystem. Now, we can resume operations. While SolanaFloor will operate under Jito Foundation ownership, all editorial decisions including story selection, data presentation, and coverage priorities will remain fully independent of Jito Foundation’s activities, partnerships, and interests. The mission remains unchanged: documenting the ongoing rise of the Solana ecosystem and providing clear, unbiased research and journalism. It’s a critical time for the chain. Spot $SOL ETFs have crossed $1B in AUM. The ecosystem is gradually institutionalizing. New DeFi tools and integrations emerge every day. The need for independent Solana coverage has never been more apparent. “When SolanaFloor went dark, the ecosystem lost something difficult to replace,” said @brian_smith_0 , President of Jito Foundation. “This acquisition is about filling the gap with a platform that operates from a position of editorial independence. Jito has a long term stake in the health of the Solana ecosystem, and that means investing in the infrastructure and public goods that keeps the community informed.” Additional details on the relaunch -- including editorial structure, commercial offerings, and team updates -- will be shared soon.

@SuperteamBR @TryNoahAI gud vibes only

Tomorrow we’re hosting a live vibecoding session with @TryNoahAI on X. Together we’ll build a Solana dApp using AI, live. Come watch the process, learn how it works, and see what AI-assisted building on Solana looks like in practice. Register now on luma and join us! luma.com/9705yjig LFSHIP!

Solana Ecosystem Map 2026 for Founders. @solana remains the strongest ecosystem to build on in crypto. As the founder of @NOMADZxyz, I have spent years navigating the ecosystem end to end. From communities and hackathons to grants, accelerators, and fundraising, I have personally gone through each stage. Based on that experience, here is a clear roadmap of the sources that deserve your attention in 2026. 1. Communities Your starting point should be people. Surround yourself with founders, builders, and contributors who are already active in the ecosystem. Start with: ➩ Global @superteam and local Superteams such as @SuperteamAE, @SuperteamDE, @SuperteamPOL, @SuperteamUKR, and others. This is also one of the strongest entry points to access experienced builders and early-stage funding through Instagrants (up to $10k grants). ➩ Solana-native communities such as @MonkeDAO, @islanddao, and @MadLads. 2. Hackathons Hackathons allow you to test your product in real conditions, receive feedback, secure early funding, and build long-term relationships. Programs worth your attention: ➩ @colosseum, including main (twice a year) and Eternal tracks. ➩ @solanamobile & @RadiantsDAO, focused on mobile apps for the Solana dApp Store. ➩ Solana hackathons by @Arcium and @magicblock with multiple additional bounties. ➩ Local hackathons organized by Superteams. 3. Grants (Non-Dilutive Funding) At an early stage, raising large amounts of venture capital is rare. Start with smaller, strategic funding that validates your project and extends your runway. Key sources: ➩ @SolanaFndn ($40k on average) ➩ @MetaplexFndn (based on DAO decision) ➩ @superteam (up to $10k) ➩ @solanamobile (up to $10k) ➩ @MonkeFoundry (up to $10k) 4. Accelerators Accelerators provide structured support in product development, go-to-market strategy, fundraising preparation, and network access. Leading programs: ➩ @colosseum ➩ @OrangeDAOxyz ➩ @incubator led by @solanalabs ➩ @venture_launch ➩ @alliance 5. Conferences and IRL Events Physical presence accelerates trust and relationship building. Strategic conversations at events often lead to partnerships, funding, and distribution opportunities. Events that consistently generate outcomes: ➩ Solana Breakpoint and Accelerate by @SolanaEvents. ➩ Regional events hosted by Superteams. ➩ Events organized by ecosystem companies such as @Backpack, @MeteoraAG and @JupiterExchange. 6. Bootcamps Bootcamps provide focused education and deep ecosystem immersion. They strengthen both expertise and relationships within specific verticals. Strong options include: ➩ @mtndao ➩ @venture_launch ➩ @sns Month at the @ns This roadmap is based on personal experience. I have gone through almost all of these programs and understand the practical value they bring to founders. Comment “Founder” and I will send you additional opportunities I am currently tracking inside the Solana ecosystem.
