3 days. 1 ecosystem. 1 unforgettable experience. This year’s Solana Summit Nigeria was bigger, more regional, and more representative of how far the ecosystem has come. Solana products took centre stage, new partnerships were announced, and builders had the opportunity to put their ideas and businesses in front of the ecosystem.

The Founder Podcast Series from Startup Village Nigeria 3.0 has done a great job of capturing founders’ stories and showcasing their products 💪🏽 SuperteamNG events do more than bring together Nigeria’s best Solana builders. They also give our marketing team a chance to create founder-led content that puts Nigerian teams and their products in front of a global audience.

packed rooms, open laptops and late nights 💻 this is what the @colosseum sprint looked like across some of the superteams.

Spent 5 solid days at the @SuperteamNG Startup Village, and I’m leaving with more than I came with. It was five days of building in one house with some of the sharpest founders and product experts around. Shipping, iterating, getting honest feedback, and showing up daily better. Some of the best conversations happened over coffee, not on stage. But on stage, I got to pitch Gloam (@gloamtrade), private stablecoin payments for people and agents. Every round of questions made the pitch sharper and showed me what to fix next. Privacy has stopped being a niche topic. It is finding its place finally in the crypto industry and people are starting to ask the right questions and it is only getting louder. Thanks to Superteam Nigeria for putting it together, and to everyone who stopped to talk, test and push back.

“Formation is an app which lets the stocks you own on Solana interesting. It works by targeting football, basketball or American football and organizing your stocks into teams. Formation is gamifying stocks trading and you get points based on how your stocks perform when compared to the market.” Startup Village Nigeria 3.0 Founder Podcast Series, featuring @AntoniNeutron from @formation_sol.

Important Notice to Everyone using Superteam Earn Hi everyone, I want us to be careful when applying for bounties on Superteam Earn so we don't end up in situations where we do the work, win, and then cannot receive our rewards. Recently, we had a case where someone from Nigeria won a bounty that was restricted to Australian residents. Unfortunately, the reward cannot be processed because the winner cannot provide an ID proving residency in Australia. There is also a similar case involving a bounty restricted to residents of Poland. Please, before applying for any bounty, take a few minutes to read the requirements carefully. Here are some things to keep in mind: 1. Always check the location requirements. If a bounty is restricted to residents of Australia, Poland, or any other country, you must genuinely meet that residency requirement to participate. 2. Don't change your Earn profile location just to qualify. Changing your profile location to another country does not make you a resident of that country. You may be asked to provide documents to verify your eligibility before your reward can be processed. 3. Check the KYC requirements early. Don't wait until you've won before finding out that you cannot meet the verification requirements. If you're unsure about the acceptable documents, contact support before participating. 4. Read the entire bounty description. Check the eligibility criteria, submission requirements, deadline, payment terms, and any location restrictions before starting work. 5. Ask questions before participating. If anything about a bounty is unclear, please ask the relevant team or reach out to support for clarification before investing your time. 6. Winning doesn't always guarantee payment if you don't meet the eligibility requirements. Even if your submission is selected, the reward may not be released if you fail to meet the bounty's stated conditions. I know how painful it can be to put in time and effort, win a bounty, and then be unable to receive your reward. That's why I'm sharing this with us. Please, let's be intentional. Read the requirements, confirm your eligibility, and make sure you can meet the conditions before applying. It's better to discover that you're not eligible before doing the work than after winning. Stay safe and keep building! Need help or clarity? DM me on Telegram @Callmefeyi. I'll be happy to help.

a new perk for all superteam members dropping today 👀 if you’re a builder/dev stay tuned.
