Solana Network State [Spring 2026] Frontier Build Kickoff

​Frontier Build Kickoff @ Network School

​Solana Network State Spring 2026

​April marks the start of hackathon season on Solana.

​We’re kicking off Solana Network State Spring 2026 at Network School, a 5-week builder residency aligned with the Colosseum Frontier hackathon.

​This is where teams move from ideas → products → demo day.

​🔥 What this session is

​It’s the starting point for builders who are serious about shipping during the hackathon.

​You’ll get a clear breakdown of:
• The Frontier hackathon and what it takes to win
• The Solana Network State program structure
• Weekly build rhythm, mentorship, and demo expectations
• How teams move from idea → prototype → pitch

​🧩 Featured Tracks

​We’ll also introduce the two core build tracks:

​🟣 SNS - Identity Track

​Build the identity layer for Solana:
• Agent identity (AI x onchain identity)
• Social identity (universal login with .sol)

​🟢 MagicBlock - Privacy Track

• ​Build private payments and dApps on Solana with Private Ephemeral Rollups and API

​Both teams will be present to share context, expectations, and how to build within their tracks.

​🎤 Builder Session: Ideas → Feedback

​Selected teams will share early-stage ideas:
• 2-minute pitch
• 1 slide (problem, solution, build plan)

​With live feedback from:
• Superteam MY
• Track partners

​This is where ideas get refined early, before weeks are wasted building the wrong thing.

​🧠 What happens after

​From here, the next 5 weeks are focused on:
• Weekly workshops with ecosystem partners
• Office hours and mentorship
• Weekly pitch practice
• Building towards Demo Day on May 14
