Ranger Build-a-Bear Hackathon — Vault Strategy Demo Day
Build-a-Bear Hackathon — Vault Strategy Demo Day
Join us for a curated online private pitch session where 10 shortlisted teams present their vault strategies directly to capital allocators, fund managers, and institutional LPs during Solana Accelerate and Consensus Miami week.
After a six-week hackathon where teams were challenged to design novel, sustainable yield vaults and trading strategies capable of handling real capital.
The top 10 teams were carefully evaluated by judges from:
AWS, Cobo, Drift, Orca, Presto Labs, Ranger, Solana Foundation, Adevar Labs, Helius, and Hivemind Capital
Each team gets 3 minutes to walk through their strategy, their edge and risk management approach.
