The CLOCK IN Builds Are In. What’s Next on Seeker?
The final CLOCK IN weekend had builders tightening demos, rewriting pitches, and watching the deadline. At the same time, Seekers were opening new apps across games, DeFi, and trading. The submissions are now in, but that is only one part of what happened on Seeker this month.
The CLOCK IN builds are in ⏰
The clock has stopped on CLOCK IN. Submissions closed on October 12 after a final weekend of building, testing, and polishing pitches. Entries will be judged on stickiness and product-market fit, user experience, innovation, and presentation, with winners scheduled to be announced in early November.
Throughout the Solana Mobile hackathon, builders could join technical office hours with Beeman, a marketing and growth masterclass with Akshay, and Radiants’ Life’s a Pitch workshop. The sessions covered development, getting started, reaching users, building momentum, and preparing a project pitch.
CLOCK IN began with $125,000 in USDC prizes for ten teams and a separate $10,000 SKR integration prize. Winning teams will also receive featured placement in the Solana dApp Store, co-marketing and launch support, Seeker devices for the team, and a call with Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.
The prize pool also grew during the hackathon. ORE added a $30,000 prize for one project that meaningfully integrated ORE.
