Answer the call.
Whether you’re a beginner or brushing up your skills, the Neon Dev Bootcamp is your gateway to building on Solana.
Learn by doing, ship real projects, and join a community that’s building the future — one block at a time.
The Neon Dev Bootcamp is the first incentivized learning program for EVM builders who want to ship fast on Solana while keeping their familiar EVM toolkit.
☑️ 10 weeks of learning by building, with bite-sized tutorials and real projects that get you shipping fast.
☑️ Direct mentorship from the Neon DevRel team and exclusive builder communities.
☑️ Weekly leaderboard and a $5,000 prize pool for the top 5 devs.
☑️ Only 50 seats. First come, first in.
Complete weekly challenges, improve your skills, climb the ranks, and fast-track your way to Solana — all using the EVM stack you already know (no Rust required).
This Bootcamp is for builders ready to show up, commit, and ship consistently.
You’ll be coding, deploying, and proving your skills through real use cases.
Miss a week, and you're off the leaderboard.
Whether you're just starting out or already deep in the EVM stack, if you're serious about building in public, learning with the best, and taking your project to the next level — this is your call.
Join the next wave of Solana-native dApps, powered by Neon.
New tutorials drop here weekly starting May 7.
Each one breaks down a real use case with clear, actionable steps — so you’re building as you learn, not just watching.
Learn, ship, repeat. From Solidity to Solana in 10 weeks.
Join our Discord to stay on track, get support, and never miss a drop.
You should be familiar with EVM basics (Solidity, Remix, GitHub) and ready to commit to weekly submissions. No advanced EVM or Solana knowledge needed.
No, this is an individual journey. Each participant submits their own repos and climbs the leaderboard solo.
Points are awarded for consistency (submitting your weekly builds), quality, and community engagement — boost your score by staying active and building in public.
Weekly tutorials and the live leaderboard will be updated right here.
At the end, the top 5 builders will split the $5,000 prize pool.
Every week, a new tutorial drops. You’ll collect the POAP and submit your public GitHub repo. Full instructions will be posted as soon as the Bootcamp kicks off on May 7th, 2025.
Make sure to join our Discord and enter the Dev Bootcamp Chat to stay on track!
Consistency is key.
If you miss a repo submission, you're off the leaderboard (no prize) — but you can still keep learning and building with the community.
You can still access the tutorials and build on your own, but you won’t be eligible for leaderboard points or prizes.
We’ll showcase the best projects and spotlight top builders across the Neon ecosystem.
Plus, you’ll get early access to future hackathons, collaborations, and more.
