We had the honor of welcoming Vijay, the CEO of Eclipse, who provided invaluable feedback to Japanese teams participating in Radar Hackathon. Participants were deeply inspired by the rare opportunity to receive advice directly from the CEO of a top project.
Yuki(Superteam Japan Member,Metaplex Japan) led an ideation session for new builders aiming to participate in Radar Hackathon. The practical curriculum guided participants from business idea creation to pitch material preparation within four hours. Additionally, we hosted a community call for Superteam Japan Discord members, sharing the excitement from the event and promoting Radar Hackathon awareness.
The ninth iteration of our regular event for Solana developers was held, featuring sessions on the latest Solana technologies, such as Blinks. We also raised awareness about the Radar Hackathon, further promoting it within the developer community.

The final Build Station of September saw the highest number of participants, demonstrating the impact of our month-long promotional efforts. It was also the most productive in terms of Radar team formation, showing a growing interest in Radar within Japan’s Solana community.
“ORE”, who won the Grand Champion title at the last Solana Hackathon, has come to Japan. It was an exciting opportunity for Radar Hackathon participants to receive direct advice from them.
In summary, September was a month of continuously building the builder community and discovering new builders. Teams participating in the Radar Hackathon have been working diligently, aiming for victory. Some projects have already gained recognition for their innovative approaches. We are eagerly awaiting the results of the Radar Hackathon in October.
