The team grew with two new members, open-source projects reached major milestones, the validator maintained near-perfect performance metrics, and Superteam Brazil announced the/Garage — its first builder accelerator cohort. Multiple projects moved from early development into formal specification and public release. The community passed key thresholds in size and output, and the cumulative impact of Superteam Brazil's work crossed $408,000 in total rewards distributed. *** ## Key Highlights ### New Members Two new members joined Superteam Brazil during Q1: **Arthur Bretas** Arthur joined the team contributing to ecosystem growth initiatives. His work spans community operations, builder coordination, and expanding Superteam Brazil's reach across the Brazilian developer landscape. **Victor Carvalho** Victor came from the Cloak team, which placed 3rd in the Stablecoins track of the Cypherpunk Hackathon during Q4 2025. His background in privacy protocol development brings deep technical expertise to the team. Victor's path — from hackathon participant to community member — exemplifies the pipeline that Superteam Brazil has built: attract builders through competitions, support them through resources and bounties, and integrate the strongest contributors into the team. ### the/Garage Cohort 1 Superteam Brazil announced the/Garage Cohort 1, a builder accelerator program for early-stage Solana projects in Brazil. Key details: * **Timeline**: April through May 2026 * **Focus**: Early-stage Solana projects with Brazilian founders or significant Brazilian team presence * **What it provides**: Mentorship from experienced Solana builders, technical resources, infrastructure support, and guidance on funding and go-to-market strategy * **Applications**: Opening in Q2 2026 the/Garage represents a new phase for Superteam Brazil. While hackathons and bounties support individual builders and short-term projects, an accelerator program provides sustained, structured support for teams that are building products with the potential for long-term impact. The program is designed to fill a gap in the Brazilian Solana ecosystem: there are builders with strong technical skills and viable ideas, but limited access to the mentorship and resources needed to go from prototype to product. ### Active Development Q1 2026 saw the most significant development output to date across Superteam Brazil's project portfolio: *** **solana-claude — Major Release** The solana-claude project reached a significant scale during Q1, evolving from a developer configuration into a comprehensive AI-assisted development environment for Solana. The release included: * **15 specialized agents** for different development tasks — from architecture design to security auditing to testing * **24+ slash commands** covering common Solana development workflows including commit automation, diff review, CU profiling, and deployment * **6 MCP server integrations**: Helius (60+ RPC and DAS API tools), solana-dev (Solana Foundation official docs and guides), Context7 (up-to-date library documentation), Puppeteer (browser automation for dApp testing), context-mode (context compression for large outputs), and memsearch (persistent memory with semantic search) * **Language-specific rule sets** for Rust, Anchor, Pinocchio, TypeScript, and C#/.NET — each containing hundreds of lines of coding standards, security rules, and best practices * **Agent team patterns** enabling multi-agent collaboration for complex development workflows The project provides a fully configured development environment that can be dropped into any Solana project to give developers AI-assisted access to ecosystem-specific knowledge, security checks, and workflow automation. *** **Superteam Academy — On-Chain Learning Management System** The Superteam Academy project continued development on its on-chain LMS architecture during Q1. The system is designed around: * **Soulbound XP tokens** — Non-transferable tokens that track a learner's progress through courses and challenges. Because they are soulbound (non-transferable), they serve as a verifiable record of effort rather than a tradeable asset. * **NFT certificates** — Completion certificates issued as NFTs on Solana, providing on-chain proof that a builder has completed specific educational tracks. The Academy aims to solve a real problem: there is no standardized, verifiable way to demonstrate Solana development competency. Traditional certificates are easily fabricated. On-chain credentials backed by soulbound tokens and NFTs provide a trustless verification mechanism. *** **Solana Vault Standard — sRFC 40 Submitted** The Solana Vault Standard reached a major milestone in Q1 with the submission of **sRFC 40** to the Solana Foundation. sRFCs (Solana Request for Comments) are the formal mechanism by which standards are proposed, reviewed, and adopted within the Solana ecosystem. The submission of sRFC 40 means the vault standard has moved beyond internal development and into the formal community review process. Reference implementations are in progress, and the standard defines: * A common interface for vault programs on Solana * Standard methods for deposits, withdrawals, and balance queries * Composability patterns that allow vaults to integrate with other DeFi protocols *** **Solana Stablecoin Standard — SSS-1 and SSS-2 Specifications** The Solana Stablecoin Standard continued specification work during Q1, with two core documents being refined: * **SSS-1** — The base specification defining structural and behavioral requirements for compliant stablecoin implementations on Solana * **SSS-2** — Extended specification covering additional functionality beyond the base requirements The specifications are being developed in collaboration with **OpenZeppelin**, bringing external security expertise and industry credibility to the standard. This collaboration is significant — OpenZeppelin is one of the most respected names in smart contract security, and their involvement signals that the stablecoin standard is being taken seriously by the broader blockchain ecosystem. *** **Wiki — Trilingual Documentation Project** Superteam Brazil launched a trilingual documentation project (this wiki) during Q1, covering content in **English**, **Portuguese**, and **Spanish**. The wiki serves as a central knowledge base for: * Superteam Brazil operations and governance * Transparency reports and financial accountability * Project documentation for open-source standards * Developer resources and guides The trilingual approach reflects the reality of Superteam Brazil's audience: Brazilian builders who may prefer Portuguese, the broader Latin American community that reads Spanish, and the global Solana ecosystem that operates primarily in English. *** **Solana Game Skill** A Unity/mobile development skill package was released during Q1, providing Claude Code with specialized knowledge for building Solana-integrated games. The package includes C#/.NET coding standards, Unity-specific patterns, and blockchain integration patterns for game developers. *** ## Community Events & IRL Activities Q1 2026 saw a strategic shift in event programming toward innovation-focused formats and new institutional partnerships, while maintaining the community gathering model established in previous quarters. ### VibeCoding Session with NoahAI (March 10) A hands-on coding session with 46+ attendees exploring AI-assisted development for Solana. Partnered with NoahAI, the event demonstrated practical workflows for using AI tools in blockchain development — directly aligned with Superteam Brazil's investment in the solana-claude project. Attendees built and deployed Solana programs using AI-assisted workflows in a collaborative setting. ### Ideathon STBR — Road to Colosseum (March 23) A virtual ideation event streamed live on YouTube, attracting 349+ viewers. The Ideathon served as a pipeline event for the upcoming Colosseum hackathon, helping Brazilian builders refine their project ideas, form teams, and prepare competitive submissions. The YouTube LIVE format maximized reach across Brazil, making it the highest-attendance single event of the quarter. The "Road to Colosseum" framing reflects Superteam Brazil's continued strategy of preparing builders for global competitions. ### SOLANA BBQ + Inteli (March 27) A community BBQ event held at the Inteli university campus in Sao Paulo, in partnership with Inteli (Instituto de Tecnologia e Lideranca). 31+ attendees participated in this cross-institutional networking event that connected Superteam Brazil's builder community with Inteli's student and faculty network. Hosting the event directly on campus reinforced the institutional partnership strategy, representing a new channel for developer pipeline development beyond the existing UFSC relationship. ### Upcoming: the/Garage Brazil Cohort.1 (April 13) Announced during Q1 with applications opening for the first cohort of Superteam Brazil's builder accelerator. The in-person kickoff is scheduled for April 13 in Sao Paulo, marking the transition from event-based community engagement to sustained project acceleration. *** ## Validator Performance (Q1 2026) The Superteam Brazil validator maintained strong performance throughout Q1: | Parameter | Value | | --------------- | ------------------------------ | | Stake | \~17,000 SOL | | Commission | 5% | | MEV Commission | 10% | | Voting Rate | 99.4% | | Uptime (30-day) | 100% | | Skip Rate | 0% | | Location | Sao Paulo, Brazil | | Revenue Model | 100% reinvested into ecosystem | A 99.4% voting rate with 100% uptime and 0% skip rate places the validator in the top tier of reliability on the Solana network. The Sao Paulo location contributes to geographic decentralization — a priority for Solana's network health — while keeping infrastructure physically close to the Brazilian builder community it supports. All commission revenue generated by the validator is reinvested into the ecosystem through bounties, grants, event sponsorships, and operational costs. The validator is a public goods funding mechanism, not a profit center. *** ## Community Metrics (Cumulative Through Q1 2026) | Metric | Value | | -------------------------- | ----------- | | Active community members | 62 | | Builders in ecosystem | 247+ | | Ecosystem partners | 40+ | | Capital facilitated | $3,000,000+ | | Total rewards distributed | $408,000+ | | Total listings published | 161 | | Total submissions received | 1,832 | | Completion rate | 95% | ### What These Numbers Mean **62 active members** — This is the core community of builders, contributors, and operators who participate regularly in Superteam Brazil activities. "Active" means meaningful participation, not just membership in a chat group. **247+ builders** — The broader ecosystem of developers who have engaged with Superteam Brazil through hackathons, bounties, bootcamps, or education programs. Not all are continuously active, but all have built something on Solana through our programs. **$408,000+ total distributed** — Cumulative rewards distributed since inception, including bounties, hackathon prizes, grants, and other forms of compensation for ecosystem contributions. This is funded primarily through validator commission revenue and Solana Foundation grants. **1,832 submissions at 95% completion** — Across 161 listings (bounties, challenges, hackathon tracks, educational tasks), the community submitted 1,832 entries with a 95% completion rate. A 95% completion rate is unusually high and reflects a community culture of following through on commitments. **$3M+ capital facilitated** — Total capital that has flowed through or been directed by Superteam Brazil initiatives, including hackathon prize pools, grants, bounties, and investment facilitation for ecosystem projects. *** ## Looking Ahead ### the/Garage Cohort 1 (April-May 2026) The first cohort of the/Garage accelerator launches in April 2026. Selected teams will receive: * Mentorship from experienced Solana builders and ecosystem leaders * Technical infrastructure and development resources * Guidance on fundraising, tokenomics, and go-to-market strategy * Connections to the broader Solana ecosystem through Superteam's global network Applications and selection criteria will be published ahead of the cohort start date. ### Continued Project Development * **Solana Vault Standard**: Finalization of sRFC 40 based on community feedback, completion of reference implementations, and ecosystem adoption outreach * **Solana Stablecoin Standard**: Publication of SSS-1 and SSS-2 as formal specifications, continued collaboration with OpenZeppelin * **Superteam Academy**: Beta launch of the on-chain LMS, initial course content development * **Wiki**: Completion of trilingual content covering all major sections * **solana-claude**: Continued expansion of agents, commands, and MCP integrations based on builder feedback ### Expansion of Developer Education Developer education programs will expand in Q2 2026, with additional bootcamps planned at Brazilian universities and online educational content continuing to grow. The pipeline from education to hackathon to bounty to team member has proven effective, and the plan is to increase throughput at every stage. ### Growing the Validator With \~17,000 SOL staked as of Q1 2026, there is room to grow the validator's stake and correspondingly increase the public goods funding it generates. Increasing stake means more commission revenue, which means more bounties, more grants, and more support for Brazilian builders. Staking with Superteam Brazil's validator is a direct contribution to the Brazilian Solana ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
