Solana Nepal Hackathon | Superteam Nepal Frontier Track

About Superteam Nepal

Superteam Nepal is Solana's official ecosystem hub in Nepal, dedicated to helping builders across the country launch and grow. We bring together developers, creatives, and operators to support high-potential projects through grants, education, and community. With a fast-growing tech scene, one of the world's highest hackathon participation rates, and deep ties to local universities and institutions, Nepal is becoming a serious launchpad for Solana founders. We're excited to back builders competing in the Frontier hackathon through a dedicated local track with a $10,000 prize pool.

Mission

Build a strong product with real potential on Solana as part of the Colosseum Frontier hackathon. Teams building from Nepal or with a meaningful connection to the Superteam Nepal community can compete for an additional $10,000 USDC local prize pool.

What Can You Expect?

We're not just running a prize pool. Superteam Nepal is running a full support structure around Frontier to help Nepali teams actually build and win.

→ Prep Weeks (from April 6): Mixers, livestreams, workshops, and co-working sessions across cities. We'll help with idea validation, Solana onboarding, and guidance on product-market fit.

→ Buildstation (April 21–28 in Kathmandu): Intensive coworking with daily stand-ups, one-on-one mentorship, design and development support, and evening founder circles. Check the Luma calendar for buildstations happening in other cities.

→ Startup Village (May 5–11): A fully sponsored week-long retreat for Nepal's best Frontier builders. Accommodation, meals, workstations, and a top-tier peer group all in one place — come to build, bond, and ship the best work of your life.

→ Demo Day Finale: Pitch your project to Solana ecosystem leaders, VCs, and the Nepal community.

Hackathon Track Scope

This track is open-ended and founder-oriented. We're looking for projects that solve real problems and make meaningful use of Solana. Projects can span various categories, including:

• Consumer applications

• DeFi (Decentralized Finance)

• Payments and on-chain commerce

• Infrastructure and developer tooling

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Data solutions

• Real-world asset tokenization (RWA)

• Identity and social identity solutions

• Coordination and governance tools

We are particularly interested in teams that demonstrate a clear reason why Solana is the right platform for their project and show credible potential to continue building beyond the hackathon.

Submission Requirements

• You must register for the hackathon on the Colosseum Platform and mark "NEPAL" as your team's primary country.

• Submit your project to the Frontier hackathon and demo it on your local buildtations.

• The project must meet the official rules of the global hackathon.

• Teams must have a meaningful connection to Nepal or the Superteam Nepal community — whether based locally, participating through a Buildstation, or actively engaged with our ecosystem. We strongly encourage teams to attend a Buildstation in their city — check the full schedule at https://luma.com/frontiernp.

• Submissions will be evaluated based on your Colosseum Frontier hackathon project submission. The overall quality — pitch deck, demo video, and documentation — should clearly communicate the problem, product, architecture, and why it matters.

• If your team's GitHub repo is private, please grant access to nepal@superteam.fun for evaluation.

Judging Criteria

Our local judging aligns with Colosseum's founder-first philosophy. We evaluate projects based on:

• Product Quality & User Value: Does the project solve a real problem? Is there a believable path to traction or product-market fit?

• Technical Execution: How strong is the implementation? Does the team demonstrate real technical depth and ambition?

• Use of Solana: Does the product make meaningful use of Solana, or is it an afterthought?

• Founder Potential: Does the team look like it can keep shipping after the hackathon? Is there evidence of speed, clarity, and conviction?

• Demo & Submission Quality: How clearly does the team communicate what they've built and why it matters?
