What to build
Where AI and Solana actually need each other.
Almost every project uses AI now, so that alone won't stand out. These are directions we'd point you to, not scoring rules.
Agents that act on their own
AI that holds a wallet, pays for the services it uses and makes its own onchain transactions.
Verifiable data
Records people need to trust. Examples from Türkiye: export traceability, reporting for the EU's carbon rules (CBAM) and vehicle history.
Mobile apps
Consumer apps people use on their phone. Solana Mobile awards Seeker phones to the best mobile app.
A simple test
If your product still works without the AI, the AI is just a feature. If it runs fine on a normal database without Solana, judges will notice. If removing either one breaks it, you're on the right track.
Practical tips
Don't build infrastructure from scratch; use hosted services. Focus on one strong use case. Never demo on a public RPC endpoint.

Can I join without a team?
Yes, come solo. Teams form at the ideathon on Sat 14 Nov or in the Telegram channel.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not to join. Designers and aspiring founders are welcome, and the sessions start from the basics. Some coding experience helps, and each team needs at least one person who can build.
What language are the sessions in?
Sessions and Telegram support are in Turkish.
Do I have to attend every session?
No. The sessions are there to get you ready, but they're optional. The hackathon is open to every level.
How much time does it take?
One session a week: Sat 7, 14 and 21 Nov, with the last one on Wed 25 Nov. The hackathon is 27–29 Nov.
Does it cost anything?
No. The sessions and the hackathon are free.
Can I go to a Build Station at another university?
Yes. Every Build Station is open to everyone. Pick one when you register on Luma, or join the hackathon online.
How do I get the AI credits?
Register on Luma and choose the models you want in the form. Your Architect account is ready before the onboarding session, and credits go live a few hours before kickoff on 27 Nov.
Why register on both Luma and Dev3pack?
Luma puts you in the Türkiye program: sessions, Build Station, team matching and AI credits. Dev3pack runs the hackathon itself, so you need it to submit your project.
