About the Bounty

There has never been a better time to build on Solana. The ease with which anyone can deploy (and also vibecode) a Solana application today was unheard of just two years ago.

The network has grown exponentially within the last 2-3 years, and a large share of the credit for this growth goes to the evolving SaaS product ecosystem on Solana.

In this bounty, we are inviting you to bring out the camera, become an nCMO, and dive deep into these products. Your mission is to create a visual deep dive into the State of SaaS Projects on Solana. The ideal submission will be:

1. A talking-head style/storytelling video that would walk the viewer through the process of creating and deploying a Solana application on mainnet, using all the services that one would require

2. Diving deep into the ecosystem and commenting on recent updates across RPCs, data indexers, wallets, launchpads, on/off-ramps, bridges, smart accounts and treasuries, tokens, etc.

3. An engaging, fun-to-watch, and easy-to-understand resource for anyone to learn about all key product developments, partnerships, and integrations

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

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

Other Evaluation Criteria

In addition to the criteria shared above, our judges will use the following criteria to judge your submissions:

• Did you give a compelling introduction and a satisfying conclusion?

• Is your video easy to understand?

• Did you avoid overly complex jargon?

• Did you explain concepts in a way a person new to crypto could understand?

Submission Requirements

• Your submission needs to be a video featuring one or more people published on a public platform like X or YouTube. Google Drive and other draft links are not acceptable for this bounty.

• Your submissions should be in English.

• Your submission should be at least one minute long. The ideal submissions would be 1-3 minutes long.

• You should include links to your sources in the following tweet/description of your video. If you have used external sources and no references are included, your bounty could be rejected on the grounds of plagiarism.

AI Assistants

You are welcome and encouraged to use AI assistants for research, feedback, quality, and even editing of your submission. Participants should focus on adding their own narrative, insights, and opinions to the submission.
