Solana Summer Camp: Builders United 🌴
The highlight of this month was hands down the unforgettable 7-day Solana Summer Camp we hosted in Da Nang—bringing together early-stage founders, hackers, and dreamers ready to build on Solana.
With mentorship from ecosystem OGs, the camp delivered hands-on workshops, expert talks, and beachside bonding to power up Vietnam’s next wave of Web3 buildors. Teams were all-in—learning how to launch gaming startups, master pitch storytelling, build in public, grow communities, and explore new opportunities in Solana Ecosystem.
Big shoutout to all the amazing speakers who brought the heat: @RyanRYousefi, @LongLiveGameFi, @SaigonButcher, @Kevin_Soltani, @mansa_is_musa, @sqrdao_intern, @lightofrahim, @munkiceo, @JadeHoang16, @vnbui, @Kha_N_T, and many more.

🏅 Community Recognition
Originally created as a space for builders participating in the Colosseum Hackathon to share their stories, update their progress, and receive feedback for the Vietnam builder community, the Build in Public | Colosseum group has grown into a vibrant hub for Solana builders. It was later featured in the official Colosseum newsletter and gained significant attention from the judges — all thanks to the work of @0xk2_, @BallzyJohnson and @munkiceo.

This initiative not only helps Vietnam’s builders gain more recognition from the community but also helps them attract more traction to their projects.
