​It’s hackathon season on Solana. ​We’re kicking things off in Kuala Lumpur with a builder night designed to help you go from idea → team → execution. ​This is the starting point for Solana Network State [Spring 2026], a 5-week builder residency aligned with the Colosseum Frontier hackathon. ​🔥 What to expect ​We’ll start with a quick overview of: • The Solana Frontier hackathon • Solana Network State program • Side tracks (SNS Identity Track, MagicBlock Privacy Track) • How to get involved and win Then followed by a sharing session with ShuenRui from Impossible Finance on "What Should You Build" (15-20 mins) • Patterns of projects that succeeded vs failed • What VCs / launchpads look for today • Common mistakes, e.g. infra with no users, token with no demand, copy pasta protocols • How to identify real problems vs fake problems • AI sharing ​🎤 Builder Arena: Pitch & Roast ​Selected teams will pitch their ideas live: • 2-minute pitch • 1 slide (problem, solution, plan) ​With live feedback from ShuenRui from Impossible Finance (investment & market lens), and Benjamin, our MonkeFoundry mentor. ​This is where ideas get refined, or killed early. ​🍸 RedotPay Club ​After the pitches, we move into the social: ​• meet potential teammates • refine ideas • connect with builders & partners ​Good conversations > formal networking. There is a separate Luma for this.
