Looking back at @superteamIE's biggest @colosseum yet.
for Frontier, we had 68 submissions in total (once N.I. is attributed).
up from 39 at the Cypherpunk hackathon.
registrations also doubled.
it's great that we keep growing, and it's a testament to how engaged the Irish community is.
and while raw counts are useful.., they don't tell the full story.
the real things to be looking at here is in conversion & conviction; how many teams keep building. how many get users, raise funding, become active ecosystem contributors.. etc.
and speaking for myself and @A_gutierro, we’re truly excited to show @solana and the world that Ireland isn’t just producing more teams... it’s producing teams with the quality and most importantly.. conviction.
our demo day was a signal of this:
🥇 $4000 @looftaxyz - a non-custodial payment platform built on @magicblock's private ephemeral rollup.
🥈 $2500 @AuxinAutomata - an SDK that gives robots running ai models the ability to pay for compute autonomously while enabling immutable compliance logs.
🥉 $1500 @MentionedMarket - a social prediction market where you bet on which words or names appear in real-world media.
🏅 $1000 @ChordOracle - calling APIs from smart contracts usually means building a custom oracle. Chord abstracts that away: define any off-chain action and trigger it from your Solana program in one line. OpenAI, Slack, Stripe, Salesforce - any API fully onchain
🏅 $1000 @SaySoFun - capital-efficient prediction markets on Solana. Borrow stablecoins against live exposure, loop for leveraged conviction.
thank you to our judges & mentors who helped throughout our buildstation also. your time & energy never goes unappreciated; @PeteTownsendNV, @j0hmo, @3_DavidMc, @inks, @BulldogXBT, @uxmiles
& more.
finally, a big shoutout to my team: el jefe @A_gutierro, @irishnftgal for finally giving our socials the love it deserves, and Virginia (she's not on X but she does a lot of the invisible labour with events)
big congrats to everyone who shipped.
i'm proud of you all and proud of us as a community and ecosystem.
