Exclusive Hackathon Workshop with Shek

​Most developers don't. Not because they're not good enough, but because no one ever taught them how.

​Shek has watched that play out hundreds of times.

​As a judge across every Colosseum hackathon (Radar, Renaissance, Breakout, Cypherpunk, Frontier), he's reviewed more Solana projects than almost anyone in the ecosystem. He knows exactly what separates the ones that find users from the ones that don't.

​But he's not just a judge. He built Wordcel, a publishing platform on Solana, because he needed one himself. He runs Office Hours at Superteam India, where he mentors developers one-on-one. He spent nearly 10 years in distributed systems before going full-time in Web3. He sees this problem from every angle: as a builder, a mentor, and someone who's evaluated the whole field.

​This session is him breaking down distribution for developers. Practically. No marketing theory.

​What we'll cover:

• ​How to find your first real users as a developer

• ​What actually gets projects traction at the early stage

• ​What he keeps seeing builders get wrong, from judging hundreds of projects

• ​How to use your builder reputation to grow
  
  If you're building right now and haven't figured out distribution yet, this one's for you.
