From Leek Glasses to On-Chain Danmaku and DEV Pumping: How Creative Was the Solana Online Hackathon?

Original | Odaily Planet Daily (@OdailyChina)

Author | Ethan (@ethanzhang_web3)

From January 20 to January 30, 2026, the Solana Online Hackathon, jointly initiated by Trends and the Solana Chinese community, was held. As a fully online development event, this hackathon used X as the main platform for project submission and display. Developers published project introductions, code, and demo links to be directly and publicly evaluated by the community and judges.

Unlike traditional hackathons that rely on a unified backend for submissions, this event adopted a more open participation method. Competing projects were displayed on a public timeline, allowing judges and community members to directly test, interact with, and provide feedback on them. This low-barrier, high-exposure selection mechanism led to a concentrated emergence of many product-oriented and experience-focused projects in a short period.

During the ten-day submission and review period, participating projects covered multiple directions including trading and strategy bots, Alpha discovery tools, the internet capital market, and consumer and entertainment applications. Compared to emphasizing grand narratives or underlying infrastructure, the projects that emerged from this hackathon focused more on real-use scenarios, attempting to address long-standing issues like trading efficiency, information noise, and user experience through AI, automation, and gamification.

The following is a detailed review of the winning projects from this Solana Online Hackathon by Odaily Planet Daily.

During the game, each card has its own special effect. Players influence the stock price by triggering their hand. Each day, the player can draw one red card and one green card from a randomly refreshed card pool. The drawn cards combine with 8 cards randomly dealt by the system to form a hand.

Players can freely order their hand, performing actions by playing combos and triggering special effects. Each card trigger affects the stock price. The game also includes a rich special event triggering mechanism. Players need to constantly combine cards to meet weekly increasing difficulty goals and challenges.
