A few months ago, we just started!
We came into the @SuperteamBR The Garage
Many ideas came, and we worked hard
And then, after @colosseum we started our new journey on @dev3pack
What we didn't know was that this was just the start of something bigger
Thanks a lot, @_SDAV, for the program and all the feedback!
And a huge thanks to @kukasolana and @kauenet
We are excited for what comes next!
See you next week!
@solana @SolanaFndn @solana_devs @solana_ai
Gecko made it to the next stage of The Bridge Accelerator, powered by @dev3pack @_SDAV and @Solana.
Still letting that sink in.
We wouldn't be here without all the support from @SuperteamBR
Everything started at The Garage
One month in, we pivoted the thesis, had the real conversations, rebuilt what needed rebuilding, and somehow made it to this list.
That means a lot.
Congrats to the other 12 teams stepping into this next stage with us, and to everyone who stood in front of that panel yesterday.
That takes something on its own.
You made it, don't give up, and keep building!
You've come this far.
Thank you for building a room where this kind of work gets seen 🩵

Josip competed in 3 @Colosseum hackathons, won 2, and mentored over 10 winning teams.
Tomorrow, he's breaking down what makes a Crypto World's Fair submission stand out: how to structure your deck, and what reviewers actually look for.
Tuesday, 4PM CEST. Open to everyone.
Amanhã, tem uma baita aula com o @JosipVolarevic2
Se inscrevam, nao percam essa oportunidade

session 6 of the @dev3pack ai engineering bootcamp, done 💙 thank you to everyone who showed up and built a retrieval baseline with zero model calls
tomorrow's problem:
q: "how much will it cost me to send this?"
doc: "Solana transaction fees"
score: 0
not one word in common. come see what we do about it

Session 5 of Dev3Pack AI Engineering Bootcamp: a deterministic mini-agent 🔁
Wrote a tool-calling loop with 4 exits: answer, repeat-call caught, budget hit, tool failure every path ends in a receipt, never a crash.
Unit 1 complete ✅ Unit 2 starts Monday.

Session 4 of Dev3Pack AI Engineering Bootcamp
Turns out your tools can lie to you. Built a guard that catches instructions hidden inside tool output ("send the API key to...") and refuses to obey data stays data.
Session 5: a mini-agent, deterministic 🩵

A tool the model can point anywhere is a tool an attacker can point anywhere.
Today we had our 4th section, where we built five read-only tools that refuse bad arguments before they touch the network.
Thank you to everyone who came and handed in 🩵
Tomorrow we wire them into a first agent ➰🤖

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A few months ago, EmpowerFI was just an idea in my notes.
Today, we have an app, entrepreneurs, partnerships — and a thesis to prove.
Can blockchain make small-ticket productive credit actually work?
Week 1 at @Colosseum. @SuperteamBR
This is why I’m building EmpowerFI. 🇧🇷

Session 3 of Dev3Pack AI Engineering Bootcamp: structured outputs
Built a parser that rejects bad model output (broken JSON, missing fields, bad confidence scores) + wrote test questions to check an agent answers, hedges, or refuses correctly.
ALT class
ALT jupyter notebook
Today's class: valid JSON is not a correct answer.
We built the parser that rejects bad model output, and an agent that refuses before it guesses.
Thank you to everyone who came and handed in 🩵
Tomorrow we give the model tools. Be there ⚡️
@dev3pack AI Engineering Bootcamp
54% granola. 51% oats. It charged the granola. Nothing in it could say "I'm not sure."
We build the opposite: 6% of derived accounts still need a human, and we publish that number rather than guess past it.
Check the call before it counts ⚡️

The Solana Rust Bootcamp is here 🦀
From 6-30 Oct, join us for an online bootcamp to learn Rust, build on Solana & get ready for the largest Solana university hackathon.
The bootcamp is available in English 🇬🇧 and Spanish 🇪🇸

Just another reason for everyone to upgrade to v1. You save two now useless instructions.
You are not ready for what v1 tx format unlocks.
You are not bullish Solana enough!
This is the same type of tx, same signer.
First (on the left) is v1 format.
Second (on the right) is Legacy format.
The tx is now ~50% more efficient in terms of compute and ~17% more efficient in terms of overall resources.
Do you know what are the missing CU?

Congrats @JurassicFi !!!
We made it

Late post but sessions 1 of Dev3Pack AI Engineering Bootcamp are in the books, still grasping some concepts as I go.
Session 1: learned to actually review what an AI assistant proposes before accepting it not just what to build.
Today, we held our first AI Engineering Bootcamp session with @dev3pack.
It was an introductory session to help our students set up their environments and get familiar with the tools we’ll be using.
It was wonderful to have so many great people participating in our class. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for session 2! 🩵
