What is Solana Season and Solana Summer?
Solana Season is a marketing campaign from the team, featuring a hackathon designed to expand the blossoming ecosystem.
There’s no denying the hype surrounding Solana during the latest crypto bull run that we’re in the midst of.
If you have talked about Solana on Twitter and tried to hashtag your post, you would have noticed the project’s Solana Season and Solana Summer promotions.
Our Solana guide has been designed to answer some key questions around the project, so let’s jump right in.
Solana Season
It always makes me laugh when projects talk about seasons.
Like, do you guys even science bro?
If you talk about it being Solana Summer, then you know that half the world is in winter, right?
You’re just isolating half the entire planet.
Anyway, that debate is for another time and place haha.
So onto what we’re here in this blog for - The SolanaSZN Hackathon!
The Solana Season Hackathon featured over 13,000 participants and over 350 project submissions from different builders across the globe.
While the hackathon officially ran only from May 15 - June 7th, the Solana Season crypto meme is still well and truly alive on Twitter.
You can browse the full list of Solana Season Hackathon projects yourself, but the clear winner and main project worth talking about in this section, is Zeta.
Zeta
Zeta’s mission is to provide the Solana ecosystem with a bulletproof options platform, such that anyone can hedge, speculate and take opinions on a limitless variety of market movements.
Coming from a forex trading background, I’m certainly no fan of binary options trading platforms.
But I can’t help be excited for the fact that this stuff is now being built on decentralised platforms, rather than hosted by scammy offshore brokers.
Final thoughts on Solana Season
While all activity is good for a project and crypto as a while, it’s hard to say whether the Solana Season and Solana Summer promotions have been a success.
Just like we’ve already spoken about in this guide to Solana, the projects we’re seeing are thin and don’t actually change a whole lot.
When you compare these platforms to what we’re seeing being built on truly decentralised platforms like Ethereum (and even BSC) daily, there is really no comparison to be made.
Solana Summer or not, I’m still a bit underwhelmed.
Best of probabilities to you.
