Today we're launching Riptide 🌊, an open-source economic stress-testing framework for Solana protocols. Replayable, deterministic, evidence-first.

🚨 If you're one of the 433 DeFi protocols from the Frontier Hackathon and want to stand out by seriously upping your economic security…
Reach out, DMs are open for collaboration.
The @Solana Frontier Hackathon product directory is live!🏔️
Frontier was the largest crypto hackathon ever & one of the largest in tech history with 2,857 submissions.
Winners and Colosseum's next accelerator startups will be announced next month.

@zelimir__@colosseum We keep building Riptide, open source replayable economic stress tests for Solana programs
Whether you won Colosseum or not… the grind never stops 🔥

This is where I think simulation and formal verification compound.
Simulation helps surface missing assumptions; formal verification helps lock in the properties once they’re known.
For Solana protocols, we need both.
The/Garage is where LEGENDS rise and ACCELERATE.
Brazil is absolute @solana.
The @solflare Arena at Solana House in Sao Paulo was pure magic.
The Brazilian Storm is inevitable.
@mattytay Indeed, we need more novel forms of onchain trading that can only exist on blockchain (more specifically on Solana)
We at Riptide are here to help secure these innovations 🫡
Both platforms make strong claims.
Ultimately, the one that survives rigorous market conditions will prove its superiority.
We at Riptide are here to help with exactly that.
If you’re building perps on Solana and want to enter the race prepared, follow us and try Riptide.
Who do you expect to hold up best once the real test arrives?
Building solo is hard, but when you’re surrounded by people who share the same obsession and push you to ship faster… everything changes.
These 3 weeks at The/Garage, I’ve been fully immersed building @riptidesim as a solo founder, leading product, engineering, design, GTM and everything in between.
That grind took Riptide from an idea to a submitted project for the @colosseum Frontier Hackathon, and to 2nd place at the local Demo Day!
Huge shoutout to all the teams who showed up and raised the bar every single day. And massive thanks to the @SuperteamBR crew and all the sponsors for creating this space and making it happen 🇧🇷
Chamada para o Conexão JET #09 🎙
A Solana é, sem dúvida, a rede que mais abre portas para quem quer construir no mercado cripto hoje, e pra provar isso vamos fazer um space muito brabo!
Amanhã o papo é com quem provou isso na prática. Vamos receber os grandes vencedores do DemoDay que aconteceu no THE GARAGE, uma build station organizada pela @SuperteamBR.
Os projetos não só levaram os prêmios, como agora estão se preparando para o próximo nível: Vão competir no Solana Frontier Hackathon da @colosseum. É o Brasil mostrando que tem execução de elite para competir com os maiores builders do mundo, na maior competição de startups da @solana.
Vamos trocar uma ideia sobre o processo de criação deles, como a infra da Solana permite essa velocidade e o que esperar desses projetos no hackathon global.
Nossos convidados são nada mais nada menos do que: @usebido, @riptidesim, @DefundsFinance.
Data: 13 de Maio (Quarta-feira)
Horário: 19h BRT
Onde: No Spaces da JET LATAM
1st place at @SuperteamBR's The Garage Demo Day🔥
These weeks at Brazil's first building station shaped how we think about the product, the category and the market
Shoutout to @SuperteamBR, @cloak_ag, @solflare, @jito_sol and @jetlatam! You made this possible
Thank you to the judges, builders and everyone who engaged, pushed back and made the thesis sharper
This is just the beginning 🪼
Está chegando ao fim o prazo de submissões para o Frontier Hackathon do @colosseum!
E durante a última semana estivemos de forma presencial no THE GARAGE da @SuperteamBR, onde vários projetos estão reunidos e sendo desenvolvidos para essa grande competição de startups da @solana.
Conversamos com diversos builders e trouxemos alguns deles pra poder contar pra vocês o que eles estão construindo. Se liga no nível de cada projeto 👇
Thank you @SuperteamBR for putting together The/Garage.
These three weeks at Brazil’s first Build Station were a valuable experience focused on building, strong collaboration among teams, and solid projects being built from ground up. It was clear how much dedication went into every project.
Congratulations to @usebido on 1st place and @DefundsFinance on 3rd place. I’m proud that we placed 2nd!
Most importantly, congratulations to all 35+ teams that participated and shipped, every builder contributed to a strong showing for Solana in Brazil.
The/Garage remains open, our Frontier submission is live, and we are committed to keeping the momentum going 🚀🇧🇷.
You thought Demo Day was the end of The/Garage?
Not even close.
We’re just getting started.
Congrats to the winners and to all 35+ teams that pitched on Saturday, the Road to Frontier Hackathon by @colosseum was insane.
🥇 1st Place: @usebido
🥈 2nd Place: @riptidesim
🥉 3rd Place: @DefundsFinance
Honorable mentions:
@norafinancexyz and @kaxisclub
Accelerate.

We need to up DeFi security more than ever. April was a bloodbath and the attackers aren’t slowing down.
Riptide was made for exactly this moment, giving builders the edge they actually need.
April 2026 was a bloodbath for DeFi.
Roughly $635M gone across 28 incidents in 30 days (a hack pretty much every single day of the month).
The top of the leaderboard:
> @DriftProtocol, $285M
> @KelpDAO, $293M
> @rhea_finance, $18.4M
> Grinex, $15M
> @wasabi_protocol, $5M+
Blackhats are leveling up, the attack surface keeps growing, and demand for sharp security researchers isn't going anywhere.
If you've ever thought about getting into the field, you're still early 🫡
[C5 is coming.]
