epic has been approved for @superteam's agentic engineering grant.
this funds the next phase of development, a security-first upgrade intelligence platform for solana programs.
public beta coming soon, then validation across real @solana repositories.
more updates as we ship.
. @solana_epic just got approved for @superteam 's agentic engineering grant, 200 usdg to make it worth the big picture.
been sitting on this news for a bit, wanted to actually think about what it means before posting about it.
so quick context on what epic is, it's a security-first upgrade intelligence platform for solana programs. basically most audit tooling looks at a program in isolation, but the real risk shows up when programs get upgraded, state changes, invariants break silently, stuff that a single-point-in-time audit just won't catch. epic is trying to build that upgrade-aware layer, tracking programs across versions and flagging what actually changed and whether it's dangerous.
this grant is the agentic engineering track, not the bigger solana foundation india grant, those are different buckets and i want to be clear about that instead of overselling it. what this actually means is someone reviewed the project and thought it was worth funding to build. it doesn't mean i've proven epic works at scale yet, that part is still ahead of me.
so here's how i'm thinking about the path from here:
this grant funds the actual build
→ get a public beta out
→ validate against real solana repos, not synthetic test cases
→ get real developers using it, collect feedback, fix what's broken
→ build some track record, github activity, actual scans on production programs
→ then go for the bigger grant with real evidence instead of a pitch
i've been building in this space for a while now, terraledger, leashd, oper8a, a bunch of smaller things before that. epic is the most technically ambitious thing i've taken on so far, spent real time on the architecture before writing code because i didn't want to ship something that looks smart on a landing page and falls apart under scrutiny.
so yeah, genuinely grateful for the funding, but treating this as fuel for the next phase, not a finish line. next update will hopefully have something people can actually try.
more soon 🛠️

Turns out the best networking event isn't networking at all.
Hosted Offline Mode // Bhopal with @SuperteamIN 💜
Football. Dinner. Product reviews. Honest conversations. New connections.
That's it. That's the tweet.
Built Online. Met Offline. ⚡

Doing a bunch of research on Solana developer tooling.
Curious:
What's the most annoying thing you still do manually while building Solana programs?
The thing that makes you think:
"There has to be a better way."
Would love examples from teams shipping in production too.
solo building for @SuiNetwork Overflow 2026 🛠️
the idea: what if your personal knowledge base lived on-chain forever?

day 1. let's go.
Finally redesigned my portfolio.
Tried to keep it minimal, structured, and intentional instead of overcomplicating everything.
Would love honest feedback on the overall experience and direction.

builders, dinner, turf, and good vibes ⚽️🍽️
bhopal really said go touch some grass 😭
10/10 evening and 10/10 host @akxh_5 ☀️
we at bhopal touched grass ⚽️🍽️
Touching Grass : Solana Builders Dinner & Turf — Bhopal was amazing
12 builders, one table • convos around what everyone’s building (pinnochio, frontier hack + more)
dinner talks to turf chaos 😭
less timelines, more real connections
