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
🎯 Who should join
• Builders participating in the Frontier hackathon
• Teams joining Solana Network State
• Developers, founders, and operators ready to build
⚡ Expectation
Come with:
• an idea, or
• the willingness to join a team and build
Leave with:
• a clear direction
• a team (if you don’t already have one)
• a plan to ship
