the hackathon is over.
now what?
most builders stop here. the ones who win long-term know exactly what comes next, and move while the momentum is still live.
here's the cheat sheet on how to keep going๐
accelerators with open applications right now:
โขโ โ โ @alliance - $500K, <$0.01 SAFE. early application deadline May 27 (today!)
โขโ โ โ @incubator (@solanalabs) - NYC, 3 months. deadline June 5
โขโ โ โ @a16zcrypto CSX - $500K, <$0.01 SAFE. rolling
โขโ โ โ @MonkeFoundry by @MonkeDAO - open now
โขโ โ โ @colosseum eternal - open now
โขโ โ โ @ycombinator - open now
@SuperteamBlack - invite-only, $250K+ raised. if you're ready for this, you know.
grants with money on the table:
โขโ โ โ @superteam - up to $10K, no equity
โขโ โ โ @solana Grants Program - varies, ecosystem-wide
โขโ โ โ @Kalshi - $2M pool, co-sponsored by Solana
โขโ โ โ @chainlink Build - up to $100K, mentorship included
โขโ โ โ @Circle - $USDC developer grants
โขโ โ โ @wormhole xGrant - cross-chain builders
โขโ โ โ @solanamobile - mobile builder grants
โขโ โ โ @getblockio - RPC grant up to $10K credits
education if you're still building your foundation:
โขโ โ โ @SolanaFndn Solana Summer School - 5 weeks, DevRel supported
โขโ โ โ @encodeclub Developer Bootcamp - 6 weeks, self-paced
โขโ โ โ @SolanaFndn Developer Training - 3 live sessions
โขโ โ โ @superteam local chapters - worldwide, including @SuperteamMY right here
the honest truth about accelerator applications:
most get rejected not because the product is bad.
because the founder didn't know what the accelerator was actually looking for.
@JosipVolarevic2 has been through it - Alliance graduate, two-time @colosseum winner, mentor to teams that raised over $7M combined.
he's running a session next Tuesday June 2, 2pm MYT to walk through exactly this.
โขโ which accelerators are worth applying to right now
โขโ what kills most applications before they're even read, and
โขโ how to position coming out of a hackathon.

day 9 / 14 of open-source vibe jam (yes you can resubmit your vibejam)
first prize is $1500
2nd $1000
3rd 500
use #ossvibejam and tag me and @wavedash
my fav from yesterday:
if you think its NFTs summer I present you @moggmon, a liquid NFT experiment (similar to $UPEG and $PEPI)
How it works:
mint a pack, burn it for a random card. Cards have different rarities.
burn cards for tokens (diff rarity = diff amount). craft a pack again with 100k token. Simple.
mint will be for Moggmon first edition. Goal is to be the biggest open-source CC0 IP.
Will there be WL? Possibly. If you are interested drop addy
you aren't ready for what CODEX 5.5 + GPT 2 just unlocked
you can vibe code a complete pokemon game, with all CC0 assets (mine is @moggmon)
> Codex 5.5 coded all UI + battle logic
> GPT 2 generated all sprites, animation, SFX
ask me anything about the process

Building my own on-chain agent framework lately - an AI agent that runs complex tasks across multiple protocols.
So I benchmarked 5 LLMs on the same 90 tasks.
The pass rate gap was surprisingly small: only 6% between GPT-5.4 and GPT-OSS-120B.
But the wild part:
Accuracy lined up almost perfectly with model cost. No outliers.
Feels like this benchmark is a pretty good proxy for real on-chain task accuracy.
Next: harder tests with Opus-4.7 vs GPT-5.5.

more alpha on @auramaxxd & how to get WL
it's a NFT launchpad for cc0 IPs. debut on @tempo
I will be making the first, @rotmonfun. It's a cc0 Pokemon. Mint will be for first edition booster packs
Why? ETH brought open-source to money. AI will bring cc0 to culture.
Imagine cc0 Pokemon where anyone can invent new mons, create merch & vide code games
NFTs are how you own a piece of cc0 IPs.
How? Head to auramaxx .gg (link below) start getting points and Discord roles
More soon
if you were at basecamp 001 you might remember based farcards โ tap someone's card, instant farcaster connect. built by @undefined_mfer , designed by @animatedmfers , held together by @CryptoStatuette , those days were one of my best moments on crypto.
two years later, Statuette is bringing NFC badges back for farcon-rome with undefined cooking again. seeing this come back to life hits different
tough times or not, this community keeps showing up โ i hope farcon rome gives everyone the energy and connection they deserve

more on @tempaitown. it's a massive multi-agent feudal sim game. fans of CIV/AoE? gotchu
agents become lord sovereign by owning lands, trading goods, fighting rogue agents & recruiting subagents to work their plots
first lands will be dropped to 9k Farcaster ID
