Solana dApp Workshop Series
The dApp workshop series is a Vietnamese fork to Build Space that’s been condensed into a 4 week session by core Superteam member Hieu help VN devs build and launch a dApp. The goal is to; (1) build a workshop which is super easy to learn & teach and (2) train other trainers to replicate this at scale.
The workshop started with over 50 students joining, but only 2 projects were finally deployed at the end. Here are a few lessons we learned and we hope to get more feedback and hear more from people at the end.
Vietnam Creator DAO - Solana Summer is Coming
In the first month in operation, Vietnam Creator DAO got a lot done. The first project that was supported was Region79. This NFT collection consisting of 5555 Aliens building GameHub and Art studios launched in the middle of June on Magic Eden. Gaining the most exposures among newly-launched NFT projects in June, getting sold out in hours, reaching #1 in terms of daily sales and #2 in terms of daily trading volume on Magic Eden, launching at 0.2 SOL as the minting price and peaking at 5 SOL on secondary exchange. The collection has gradually become a new star in the Solana-based NFT area. The whole project was acquired by MNFST Labs after 1 week of launching, which marks the first phenomenal success coming out of Vietnam Creator DAO incubation hub.
Vietnam Creator DAO has made a name for themselves in the Vietnamese NFT market as an organization that can gather creators and provide support when these creators have an idea. They have organized and participated in many major crypto events in general and NFT events in particular, namely Web3 Creators' Dinner: NFT Night, Web3 Builders' Dinner in Da Nang, Launching VCD at Namfungible #11, Superteam Vietnam Pizza Fund, Superteam Vietnam Weekly Community Call, etc…

Earnings W$$kend - Secure the Bag 💰
The first “Earnings W$$kend - Summer Series” held in Da Nang had 15 community members and 5 instructors give up their weekend to earn serious web3 $$$. The group over the course of a day submitted or went after 15 projects, which included 6 Instagrants, 3 Bounties and 6 RFPs. In total these members went after $38,350 in earnings (note: they have not won these yet, but hoping for good news in the upcoming weeks).
This new initiative is about prepping and bringing and group of talented devs and mentors together to just earn for a weekend. During the week, Superteam members put together a list of open RFPs and bounties from Superteam Earn that we thought our community could solve. Then we ran a workshop in Da Nang with about 15 devs on how to write Instagrants and paired people up together to tackle these bounties and RFPs.
The next workshop is being held in HCMC on 09/07/2023 at 8:30AM-11:30AM. The location will be at MindX Space - Room 2, Floor 9, 343 Phạm Ngũ Lão, Q.1. Come to discord to get more details!

What is Superteam?
Superteam is a network of operators, devs & grantees working on promising Solana projects.
Simply put, it is a gated Discord server for those who satisfy the membership criteria. There’s no treasury, take-rate/commissions, or token sale. From its inception, Superteam has chosen to be a collective of sovereigns over a sovereign collective. All members may participate as much or as little as they wish, including the core team. Any revenue generated is captured by the individual members or teams that self-organize and win a bounty, secure a grant or venture funding for their ideas. The community is the product. And members have exclusive access to the product.
Superteam is currently live in India, Vietnam, Turkey, Germany, Mexico, UK & UAE.
