 Eligibility and Selection process

  • The Q1 2025 cohort of the Solana Rust Bootcamp will start on 10th March and take place Monday - Thursday at 17:00-18:30 UK time.

  • 50 selected individuals for each cohort. Be sure to stand out!

  • Participants are selected based on their applications. Make sure your GitHub and LinkedIn look good!

  • Basic Knowledge of Programming: Applicants should have a foundational understanding of programming principles, which is crucial for grasping Rust and developing on Solana.

    Interest in Blockchain Technology: Candidates should demonstrate a genuine interest in blockchain technology and decentralised applications, as the bootcamp focuses on these areas.

    Commitment to Complete the Programme: The six-week course is intensive, covering various complex topics. Participants must be committed to completing the entire curriculum, including weekly homework, workshops, and a final project.

    Ability to Engage in Hands-on Learning: The program involves practical, hands-on learning experiences. Candidates should be prepared and capable of engaging actively in these activities.

    Willingness to Collaborate and Learn in a Group Setting: Since the program includes sponsor-led workshops and possibly group activities, applicants should be open to collaborative learning environments.

  • No point in dry lecturing without any practical work in a bootcamp! All the participants will work on weekly homeworks with their teams, as well as on the final project during the final week of the bootcamp.

  • The bootcamp is completely free!

    You are required to stake a 250 USDC deposit if accepted—the full deposit will be returned after successful graduation!

    The correct address for making deposits is HE6JTFofMR3jstRphrLMDrChCCo5bAJ1A4WJC6KKfyh7.

  • All successful bootcamp graduates receive a certificate, either as a PDF or as an NFT. It serves as an official graduation certificate, which means you can feature it on your CV and LinkedIn profile.
