Solana Nepal Hackathon | Superteam Nepal

About the Prize & Scope

Cypherpunk is the latest edition of Solana’s online global hackathon! Previous editions of Solana’s hackathons have been the birthplace of legendary projects such as Tapedrive, Tensor, StepN, and Dialect.

This sidetrack is run by Superteam Nepal. Teams competing for the global hackathon who registered with Nepal as their primary location may apply. See “Submission Requirements” below for details on eligibility.

Details:

This listing is a side track, meaning it is exclusive of the $2.5M+ up for grabs as part of the global hackathon. This means, as a team based in Nepal, your chances of winning a prize are much higher; even if you don't win at the global level, you still have a shot at winning something on the national level!

Rewards

🥇 First Prize: $2,500 USDC

🥈 Second Prize: $1,000 USDC

🥉 Third Prize: $500 USDC

🏆 Bonus Prize: $100 each for 10 teams
