Solana Summit: DePIN and Hardware Bootcamp

This guide should have everything you need to know to get the most out of your time at the DePIN and Hardware Bootcamp.

🎯 Doing the hard thing

The only thing that matters is that you all are the ones doing the hard thing. You are building real sh*t, real products, tinkering with your craft, and learning topics outside your comfort zone.

The purpose of this bootcamp is to help you find other people who are just like you. Finding a tribe that values building as much as you do can be invaluable, and that is why we’re here.

So, during this week, make the effort to get to know your fellow residents and you’ll find co-founders, collaborators, teammates, and customers and hopefully make some friends along the way.

Don’t network and try to collect contacts. Instead, paper-hand (for those new to crypto lingo: paper-hand refers to “letting go”) your nervousness. Get to know people. Share ideas that inspire you. Contribute thoughtfully when others share an interesting idea. Ship something together.

🏠 Venue

  • The bootcamp is being conducted at Zo House, Whitefield. Your specific accommodation will be assigned during the opening ceremony.
  • The community co-working space is Shipyard. You can visit the space to co-work with people and attend events (will be added to the agenda) happening there during the week.

📜 Agenda

Everything under the “Agenda” column is a core part of the bootcamp and hence mandatory.

The fun activities are cooler but optional and by registration only. If you see a Luma link for an event you’re interested in, you need to sign up to attend.

We will be updating the topics of the daily workshops shortly. If you want to host one during the week, DM Paarug to get it listed on the agenda.
