Win #2: Kickstarted 3 Missions 👩‍🚀

We at Superteam believe the future of work revolves around small and autonomous liquid teams completing high-impact work across Web3. We officially kickstarted this in February with sponsors like Solrazr! Let’s look at some of the missions started by our team members:

• Airdrop Notification Service 🔔

  • This mission aims to create a product that allows any user to submit their wallet address to see which airdrops they are eligible for. The product should also allow users to sign up for email updates to learn about future airdrops they are eligible for.

  • Members: 0xBhaisaab, AjinkyaShinde, akhil_bvs, AbhiKumar98, Akshit

• Superteam Impact Dashboard 📈

  • This mission aims to identify what metrics we should be tracking, figure out how to collect that data, then create a Web2 interface that displays the data in an easy-to-understand way!

  • Members: Kunal, Ishika, Akshit

• No Code NFT Launchpad 🍭

  • This Mission will require the creation of a platform that quickly lets any creator launch an initial mint via the Solrazr platform. After the initial mint is complete, users can further list their NFTs on any of the popular Solana NFT marketplaces for secondary sales. Thanks to Metaplex and Candy Machine, this Mission is doable in a fraction of the time required on other chains.

  • Members: Syed, Kunal, Yash, Anmol

In support of our goal to onboard more people into Web3, we’ve launched the Superteam Talent Network. We’re focused on helping talented folks transition from web2 to web3 directly in the Solana ecosystem.

If you or anyone you know is looking for freelance work or a full-time job in the Solana ecosystem, it’s time to join the Superteam Talent Network here. We’ll show your profile to Solana Founders and notify you if they have work relevant to your skills and interests.
