Why This Matters The Balkans produce world-class technical talent. This competition gives that talent a structured path into the Solana ecosystem — from idea to working product, with mentorship and community behind every team. What You'll Experience Online prep sessions — starting April 6 — Info Two-Week IRL Sprint — Apr 29 — May 12 — Apply Here Roast my pitch deck (IRL, Belgrade) — May 8, 12:00 $10k Demo Day (IRL, Belgrade) — May 12, 11:00 Participation is free, but application here is required. Judging Criteria Submissions will be evaluated based on the following:- Ecosystem Impact: how significantly does the project contribute to the Solana ecosystem? We're looking for projects that add real value and have a reason to exist on Solana specifically.- Product-Market Fit: does the project address a genuine need for a defined user base? Is the problem clear, and does the solution actually solve it?- Technical Quality: how sound is the technical implementation on Solana? Architecture, efficiency, and the quality of the build matter here.- Growth Potential: what's the project's ability to attract users and scale adoption? Is there a realistic distribution strategy, or just an idea without a path to users? Who Should Apply Early-stage founders, developers, engineers, students, and other operators. Anyone ready to build on Solana and move from idea to execution.
