Superteam Germany | January 2023 Newsletter
Our monthly recap on January and a sneak peak into what else is planned 2023 🎉
The last few months have flown by! Since launching Superteam Germany in early November, it’s been all systems go. Now with a new year underway, and new levels of motivation, energy, and inspiration, we’d like to give some insight into how we’re growing Solana in Germany!
Membership NFTs, an epic meetup in the capital, exciting new bounties, and the Berlin Build Station announcement are some of the key updates you’ll find in this monthly newsletter.
Let’s go!
Superteam Germany Milestones:
Membership NFTs:
We're very excited to present the new Superteam Germany Membership NFTs. In fact, if you’re a member of Superteam Germany, you should have it already! Go check your wallets after reading this newsletter.
Round of applause to @jahris_ for the brilliant design work!
Berlin Meetup:
Last week we brought Germany’s finest devs together for currywurst and coding chats (and a few beers too). This Superteam Germany x Solana meetup was supported by a real who’s-who of projects, so a big thanks to:
We had a DJ spinning the decks, dozens of talented guests mingling and making contacts, and loads of pizza too. Our Berlin event had the feel of a major house party. If you missed out, don’t worry - follow us on Twitter to stay in the loop for the next gatherings.
Three New bounties:
Bounties provide an opportunity for individuals to showcase their abilities and potentially earn a prize by submitting their work. These mini-competitions recognize and reward the top applicants. Our Builders and Bounty Hunters got straight to work on developing one technical and one creative bounty that we launched in January.
The first was the creation of an easy-to-use transaction history explorer, while the other technical bounty, which is still open for applicants, looks at making sure people can authenticate logins into desktop dApps, but from their phone. There’s $4,000 up for grabs for the single winner that solves this development challenge!
Are you curious about the new creative bounty? Check out all of the Superteam Germany bounties here.
2022 recap video
When we look back on what has been achieved over the last few months, it’s quite hard to believe! In fact, so much has happened that we wrapped it all up into a 2022 recap video which you can enjoy in the tweet below!
Thanks to you all for being supporters on this amazing journey. Germany is the gift that keeps on giving! 2023 is going to be even bigger and better.
BIG things are coming! Solana Berlin Build Station
Berlin Build Station is a pop-up co-working space that will house Solana Foundation reps from February 6th to March 15th, every working day. Along with Solana, there will be Superteam members, major German ecosystem projects, and developers building in the Solana ecosystem all in attendance. The Build Station gives us a place to share knowledge and experience with the developers preparing for the next Solana Global Hackathon in Q1 2023.
That’s not all, on March 15th, the final day of Berlin Build Station, we will be hosting Berlin Demo Day. This event will have heaps of great prizes from our sponsors, and a star-studded list of judges.
On Tuesdays & Fridays, there will be workshops, and on Fridays, there will be a community happy hour to bring together Superteam Germany members and friends. NFT Club Berlin will also be part of this, showing off impressive artworks from local talent.
Check out the epic Solana Berlin Build Station promo video we just released. See you there on Feb 6th:
Why a BEAR?
First of all, Berlin LOVES bears! The Buddy Bear project now has 500+ bears all over Berlin as a symbol of peace and tolerance. They are the unofficial mascot of Germany’s capital, and we love it.
And Bears love Build Station…
Bonus! There’s a new Superteam NFT coming… and it might feature another bear…
