<h2 class="heading-node">About Superteam Nepal</h2>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.<h2 class="heading-node">Mission</h2>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.<h2 class="heading-node">What Can You Expect?</h2>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.<h2 class="heading-node">Hackathon Track Scope</h2>This track is open-ended and founder-oriented.
