Hackathon Bootcamp (SMU)

​gm builders 👋

​We’re kicking off Hackathon Bootcamp (SMU) – a 4-part Solana builder track with Superteam SG to help you actually ship something onchain (not just sit through slides😱😱😱).

​Here’s the flow:

​Session 0 – Kickoff & Primer

​What this bootcamp is about, how Solana fits into the broader crypto landscape, what “onchain products” actually look like, and how this leads into Colosseum.

​Session 1 – SVM vs EVM (Why Solana Feels Different)

​Deep dive into SVM vs EVM, accounts, and how Solana apps are structured – so the rest of the course actually makes sense.

​Session 2 – You Ship: Counter Program

​Hands-on build of a simple counter program on Solana. You’ll write code, deploy, break things, and see your first onchain interaction end-to-end.

​Session 3 – Builder Stack + Vibecoding + Next Steps

​Walkthrough of the Solana dev stack, tools like Vibecoding, how to move fast without yolo-ing security, and what to do next if you want to take your project into a hackathon or beyond.

​❗️All sessions are IRL at SMU, hosted by Superteam SG (Community of founders/devs/operators in the Solana Ecosystem) and SMU Blockchain.

If you’ve been meaning to “get into crypto dev” but haven’t shipped anything yet, this is your reason 🤓☝️
