Member Wins
First up, Colosseum announced the results of the Solana Breakout Hackathon, and India absolutely crushed it.
The community showed up with 231 submissions (it's highest ever), with six winners (highest ever) and five honourable mentions (highest ever).
A huge shoutout to:
MetEngine, Encifher, and PayStream — all winning in the DeFi track;
Aquanode winning the University Prize in the Infrastructure track;
Lana Roads by Send Arcade came in 5th in the Gaming track.
SoulBoard (Grantee and member project) took fourth place in the DePIN track.
and shoutout to Umbra, Cleopetra, @realTrumpFun, Remlo, and Dollar Wallet for the honourable mentions.
And an even bigger shoutout to everyone (231 folks) who participated and submitted something. You are all in the arena, so even if you did not win on paper, you are all winners who are getting things done. You all are the reason why this ecosystem is so special, so go after it and keep shipping.
Special shoutout to MetEngine for becoming the only team from India to enter Colosseum's 3rd Accelerator cohort. Congratulations to Harsh, Shubh, Neel, Vraj, and team!
Apart from crushing it on the hackathon stage, Indian members were also spotted crushing it on International turf at the Solana Summit APAC in Da Nang.
Paarug also gave a workshop on X poasting (DM if you need access)
Pratik from Superteam Earn spoke about earning, not buying your crypto!
and Harsh gave a workshop on how to build on top of Sonic SVM
Kirat launched the Superdev Fellowship 2025 — a cohort for new developers to build the future on Solana.
Over 2200 people applied in the next few days, and after two rounds of screening (including a very interesting quiz), we now have a cohort who will spend the next few weeks learning Solana development by shipping real projects.
Congratulations to everyone who has made it — looking forward to seeing what you all build.
Speaking of shipping, this is the part where we dedicate a significant part of the wins section to the SendAI team:
First up, the third wing (yet) of the SEND ecosystem is live: Send Mobile, which is their new Mobile Apps Studio
Send Mobile also started its shipping arc with a bang by launching Pluto, a mobile wallet they vibecoded in a couple of weeks (???)
Meanwhile, the second wing, Send Arcade keeps on winning — their game, Lana Roads won Magicblock's Real-Time Hackathon
Send Arcade also launched a new game, Send Guys, which is obviously doing the rounds on Solana Twitter!
And from SendAI, their Agent Kit now has access to OpenAI Agents SDK, integrated with Magic Eden, and has something special cooking with SendAI MCP.
It's incredible how the Send team continues to dominate the Wins section month after month — incredible cooking by Yash, Aryan, Srinivasa, Semi, MYSTIC, Arpit, Kanish and co (please add your name if we missed you)
And to top it off, here's Yash's piece on how to curate a banger team in the AI age.
Speaking of banger teams, Asgard launched their Public Beta a couple of weeks ago. God Mode for DeFi is very much alive and kicking!
If you haven't checked it out yet, reach out to the team and get your invite code:
More launches — along with winning in the hackathon, the chads at Encifher also launched their beta with private swaps via Jupiter. Shoutout to Rishabh, Nitansh and team. We love to see it. So much.
Privacy is going to be huge as crypto grows wider, and India is leading the way here. Another hackathon mention, Umbra launched their [Private] Beta on Devnet.
Shoutout to Kru and team — DM them to get your hands on Umbra!
More and more launches. Another member project Plutus went live on Testflight, and you should really check this one out. Arpita and team has cooked another banger DeFi app. DM her for access and let them know what you think!
Results of the 100xDevs x Superteam Mini Hackathon came out with members Pratik Kale and Priyansh taking the podium.
We could honestly keep this going forever, but here are some more notable wins by members in June:
OG member and fellow chad Harsh launched Kairos — A Variable Rate Gradual Dutch Auction (VRGDA) on Solana.
Along with shipping code, both Priyansh and Ayush Jha have been shipping a ton of content, and both of their blogs got featured in Colosseum’s Codex Newsletter.
And finally, our boy Mani came on Kirat’s Podcast and spoke about his journey!
Community Contributions
If the #just-shipped-it channel keeps flowing, you know the Chads have been shipping. Proof is in the pudding:
Just Shipped It is the essence of Superteam. A bunch of producers who keep contributing to the ecosystem in the form of code or content. Here are some noteworthy ones from the last two months:
As mentioned above, Priyansh shipped a bunch of dev content on X and his blog.
Avhi has been shipping some high-quality content for Solana devs as well.
Grantee and OSS contributor Divyansh shipped TaskFi. Check it out here!
Along with a bunch of other cool things, Pratik Kale shipped v0 of his project CrowdLens, a human feedback layer for AI & creators.

@x0rc1ph3r shipped his project SageGuard. Check it out here!
State of Superteam India
Community GDP
As mentioned earlier, India's community GDP stands at $4.32M (~37 crore INR). It represents the value created for & by community members who found earning opportunities through Superteam.
Open Earning Opportunities
Find bounties to compete in, longer-term projects to apply for, and grants for your project, if you're a founder. There is only one place to find the best earning opportunities in the Solana ecosystem, and that place is Superteam Earn.
Bounties are the best way to get started with earning your crypto. They are permissionless, show high effort and intent, introduce you to top projects in Solana, and help you build your proof of work regardless of whether you win a reward or not.
Some opportunities you can apply for TODAY:
Cherry on top: we have two deep dive research bounties live right now for you to attempt. A $1000 up for grabs in each one — check them out below:
More opportunities
Arcium has started a $65K Developer Fellowship on Earn — a 4-week paid program for folks building applications using Arcium's infrastructure.

Busy month for our friends at De Charge again —Mohan delivered a lightning talk at PGP (Pretty Good Policy) hosted by Coinbase at USC. They were also present and leading conversations at the APAC Solana Summit in Da Nang, especially on DePIN Day.
GreenkWh
There's a lot of noise on Crypto Twitter but the GreenkWh team keeps shipping and growing their energy network at the grassroots level in India. Here's more on what they've been up to recently:
Cleopetra
The Cleopetra team (h/t Umang) was shipping in full flow at Superteam Singapore's Ignition Season 3, and also became the first TG bot to be fully audited.
MetEngine
If there's one team that had a banger month of June, it was MetEngine. They onboarded users on users on users, won in the Solana Breakout hackathon, and also became the only team from India to enter Colosseum's 3rd Accelerator cohort.
Off to SF next!
Encifher
Speaking of having a great June, our friends at Encifher crushed it last month as well. Launched on mainnet, won in the hackathon, growing users everyday. Upwards only!
Content Mafia
This is a section we have introduced while talking about wins — two teams that produce some of the highest quality of content across different geographies at unmatched speeds. Presenting the two GOATs in the content mafia of Superteam India:
Little Unusual
A team allergic to shipping slowly, Little Unusual was at its top-tier usual self, shipping the best content in the game (and also launching some pretty insane code). Here are some highlights:
Creative a Reality TV series for Ignition S3 (?!)
Shipped a bunch of videos for @SuperteamMY (h/t @littleunusualMY)
Shipped the 100k video for Superteam Earn
More and more AI content for Marinade Finance
Shipped a video for Solana ID in NYC
Cooking a banger aftermovie for Solana Summit APAC 2025!
Shipped videos for Meteorite Collective
Shipped the Launch Video for our friends at Codigo
Made the video for the Solana Trade Mission in Kazakhstan by Forma
And probably the biggest update yet, Tushar announced usuals.ai — an AI-powered editing tool of the future. SO ready for LU's code arc!
Goatfish
And finally, the team literally has GOAT in its name. The Goatfish team shipped a ton of great content, but also shipped code and pushed the boundaries of event coverage like they always do.
A WHOLE lot of videos for Forma in Kazakhstan and beyond
Live-streamed of the entire SEZ Kazakhstan event
Took care of the entire Solana Summit APAC
More videos for Meteora and the Jupiter team
And this might be the most banger event coverage-related update ever — they shipped solanasummit.photos which enabled you to:

Thoughts from the Frontier
Audiences Post, Communities Host
Bringing back an older thread to reiterate the importance of a community whose nodes are always actively engaging, attending, and hosting together.
There are profound differences in how participants of a community and an audience interact, broadly:
an audience sits in rows but a community flows
an audience hears one voice but a community makes noise
an audience subscribes but a community vibes
an audience has only silent lurkers but a community also has workers
an audience just retweets but a community also meets and greets
an audience just views but a community also brews
an audience just posts but a community also hosts
The default way for a Superteam member to interact with their community is via Discord. And while these are likely some of the highest signal conversations in all of crypto, they’re just the tip of the Superteam iceberg.
The optimal way to participate in Superteam is to use that signal & trust to find your niche interest and the people you can collaborate with to create weekend projects, products, or companies around it. Those who do it right will find themselves in more group chats than they can count, spontaneously joining Zoom calls and taking cabs/trains/planes to meet their internet friends.
The pipeline from strangers to co-founders/roommates is not intuitive or obvious, but it happens through some combination of shared interests, complementary skills & common goals discovered through repeated organic interactions. This has played out successfully multiple times in different forms over the last three years of Superteam's existence. Strangers who became friends with each other on Discord are now flatmates, co-founders, and colleagues.
So if you're a new member in the Superteam discord (or any other community), your best bet to find people you will resonate with is to double down on topics you are genuinely curious about & constructively engage with the community.
With this in mind, events now become an active exercise to engage with other producers, instead of broadcasting to a bunch of consumers. These can take the form of (non-exhaustive list):
Virtual Events: Host up-skilling sessions, flow co-working hours, or trivia/game nights.
Education & Workshops: Host a technical workshop or seminar at your local university/blockchain club.
Outreach & onboarding: Host a meetup over coffee, pizza, or an outdoor activity with people in your city or neighbourhood.
If you're a Superteam member who would like to host an event, reach out to Paarug, and he'll get you on the Superteam calendar ASAP.
And that is a wrap. The first half of 2025 is in the books, and it is pretty insane that we're only getting started.
Solana Summer is in full flow, and July promises to be a banger. We'll do our best to highlight the best from the community and celebrate the overflowing wins every week. See you next month!
If you want to get involved or have any questions about getting involved, reach out to us or DM @paarugsethi on X.
a whole lot of Ws this time! hope to see it grow even more in future 🚀
