About the Bounty

We’re entering the era of the Founding Creator — a storyteller who can deep dive into a topic and communicate their ideas in a visually engaging format.

While developers work on the “how”, the Founding Creator, powered by a world of tools at their disposal, can communicate the “why” of a product and 100x its distribution with one post.

In this ideathon bounty, we are inviting you to bring out the camera and kickstart your nCMO arc. Your mission is to create a visual deep dive into ideas to build on Solana for the Colloseum cypherpunk hackathon. The ideal submission will be:

1. A talking-head style/storytelling video diving deep into the ideas for the Solana ecosystem (with a focus on the Cypherpunk Hackathon) and commenting on recent narratives, past patterns, and local relevance.

2. Engaging, fun to watch, and easy to understand - a resource that helps anyone learn what’s possible on Solana, inspiring them to pick it up and build.

3. Covering an ecosystem map highlighting different apps, infrastructure, and support related to launching a startup on Solana

4. Suggesting ideas for improvement, interesting product ideas, and opportunities for new use cases

5. Featuring one or more people vs just being an animated video

6. Going deeper into at least three ideas and including ideas that are clearly defined and technically feasible.

7. Ending with a clear CTA encouraging builders to bring these ideas to life for the cypherpunk hackathon, with a brief description involving everything hackathon.
