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!

No problem! You can either submit later or - if you have a big idea - opt for creating a Graduation project that’s going to help you catch up on those leaderboard points. Each homework submission gives you the maximum of 10 points multiplied by 1.5, and a Graduation project gives you up to 150 points.

You can still participate and catch up! Don’t forget to sign up by filling out the form - this way, you’ll be included in the leaderboard.

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.
