Superteam Black is an invite-only founder success program for high-signal pre-seed to seed teams building on Solana with real traction and global ambition.
Hello from Superteam Black
A founder success program from @superteam
We help unlock the resources, capital, and distribution founders need to scale beyond their local ecosystem.
Bad luck affects everyone. It was a part of life nobody could control.
Until now.
@derpetual introduced ✦ abstract markets. Now you can launch the markets you want to trade. Combine the prices of stocks, crypto, commodities and other numbers to craft the perfect bets.
The goal for these is to complete Derpetual's mission - solve bad luck.
Built by @antoni_kiszka, a 2026 Thiel Fellow, and @kar888l, one of the earliest Superteam Poland members.
Welcome to Superteam Black!
Building on @Solana is like driving a Ferrari. Powerful, but useless until you understand what's under the hood.
Most new Solana founders lose months just learning how the chain works before writing a single line of product.
Blueshift removes that tax. Developer education, free, permissionless, built so that time goes into shipping instead.
Solana already has everything worth building on. Blueshift just shortens the distance to it.
Fewer founders stuck in docs, more founders shipping. That's the bet Superteam Black is making with @Blueshift.
We’d like to welcome One Arena @Rosentica to ST Black.
One Arena is a TCG app on Solana. Rip packs, collect real graded cards, battle, and hang with other collectors in one place. Most tokenized cards sit idle in a vault. They make those cards playable so people can actually use them and win more packs.
Physical TCG is already a multibillion dollar market across Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Magic and more. A lot of those cards are now onchain, but almost none of them actually get played. That idle inventory is the gap One Arena is going after. They’ve been live on Solana for 3 months, with $2M in sales and over 10,000 games played.
@tabinekokiki (CEO) worked eleven years in Japanese gaming and IP, collector for two decades. @0x_noot (CTO) has 12 years in game dev and has been a competitive TCG player even longer.
They also come from the most recent @Colosseum cohort.
Say hi if you rip packs, battle or work on some cool RWA stuff together.
Kha from @birdeye_so has been building on Solana since day one. Five years, one focus: to be the best data platform in crypto. They’ve had every chance to pivot, but they didn’t. @solana now has more than 2x the users of any other chain. The liquidity, institutions, and builders are here.
That’s why partnering with Superteam Black makes sense. When you back the sharpest teams, you get fresh execution and reach you can’t build alone.
We’d like to welcome Cesto @cesto_co to Superteam Black
Cesto lets you buy a themed basket of assets on Solana in one click. Think political trackers, AI stocks, Solana tokens, commodities. The tokens go straight to your wallet. They’re also letting people publish and run their own baskets. They’re targeting the $14T+ active portfolio management market.
Jason (CEO) @jasonrodrigues & Viral (CTO) @viral_sangani lead the team. They were early at Celo and worked on MiniPay, Opera’s stablecoin wallet, which now has 15M+ activations. They came through the latest @colosseum cohort and have started plugging into wallets and other apps.
Together with @SuperteamSG and @SuperteamAU, we’re bringing Solana Summit APAC back this year, this time in Singapore, right before Token2049.
Come see what’s new across Solana in APAC, meet the people building it, and start the biggest week in crypto with us.
Zynta joins Plexo’s founding cohort to expand institutional stablecoin settlement across Africa.
Through Plexo, we gain access to pre-qualified licensed counterparties, helping us accelerate compliant expansion across markets like Nigeria, Ghana and Morocco.
better security, more confidence to ship.
@VulsightSec is now supporting Superteam Black teams with security reviews, audits, and direct support from their team.
another strong resource for founders as they scale.

Another strong feature from @theindexshow on @timahhl from @Titan_Exchange
Tim breaks down Titan’s meta-DEX thesis: better routing, zero-fee swaps, and pushing onchain execution toward CEX-level pricing.
Another strong Black founder getting the chance to go deep.

Superteam Black teams can now work directly with @orca_so contributors on concentrated liquidity strategy on Solana.
from launching a new market to optimizing an existing pool, teams get hands-on support with Whirlpools, liquidity strategy, technical integrations, and direct office hours.
less guessing. better liquidity.
Great feature from @theindexshow@HawkFi_ , one of our Superteam Black teams.
"Solana is the king of spot and we want to become the queen of yield!" says Bradydon @bradydonut co-founder of Hawkfi. Brad breaks down how HawkFi is bringing automated MM and LP strategies to Solana, using agents to manage positions as markets move.
Already at $8M+ TVL and nearly $49M in cumulative LP fees, with a bigger goal of becoming the “Robinhood for market making.”
Thanks to The Index team for putting this one together

Great feature from @theindexshow on @TradeNeutral, one of our Superteam Black teams.
Derek @derekneutral breaks down how Neutral Trade is bringing institutional-style, market-neutral quant strategies onchain, from a Colosseum hackathon project to nine live strategies, automated vaults, and a much more honest conversation about what “real yield” actually means.
Thanks to The Index team for putting this one together

We’d like to welcome HawkFi @HawkFi_ to Superteam Black.
While Solana makes any asset tradable, HawkFi turns any tradable asset into high yield.
HawkFi lets retail users deploy hedge-fund grade agents to liquidity provide with HFT and MEV edge. The team’s ambition is to become the “Robinhood for Market Making,” making permissionless market making accessible to anyone globally.
The team is led by co-founders Brad ( @bradydonut) and Enzo ( @AND__SO). Brad has previously built and exited global SaaS companies, while Enzo has built enterprise AI solutions and created Fastquant, a leading open-source Python package for quantitative research.
They previously raised a $4.2M seed round from investors including Solana Ventures, NGC Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Global Founders Capital, Entrepreneur First, and others.
Warren Buffett does it
Elon Musk does it
Jeff Bezos does it
Billionaires borrow against their stocks every day.
@SpoutFi lets everyone else do the same: buy tokenized US stocks, borrow at 0% without selling, and keep the upside.
These products aren’t a privilege. They’re a right. Blockchain finally delivers them to anyone, anywhere.
Scale only worked on @solana
we’re proud to welcome @arbital_xyz to Superteam Black
built by @pangestu_karon, @0xstevezilla and @0xvincent_eth, Arbital brings memes, stocks, perps, and automated strategies like market making into one trading terminal.
in just 7 months, 2,700 traders have already moved $1.35B+ through the platform, with ~$435M in volume over the last month alone.
now part of Y Combinator’s S26 batch, the team is going after a much bigger goal: making onchain trading simple enough for the next wave of global retail traders.
Spout Finance Beta is officially live on @solana Testnet.
You can now buy tokenized US equities, borrow against them at 0% APR without selling, and put your stablecoins to work and earn yield.
