BUILD IRL Vol. 1: Solana Hackathon with Superteam IE × Claude Builder Club
About the event
BUILD IRL is a one-day, in-person Solana hackathon in Dublin, run by Superteam Ireland in partnership with the Claude Builder Club at Trinity College Dublin.
You show up at 10am, form a team or bring one, and build any idea on Solana. At the end of the day teams demo what they shipped, and €3,000 in prizes goes to the best projects. (Note: prizes are paid in USDC)
You don't need to have experience using Solana. If you can vibe-code or turn an idea into a feasible business, there is a place for you here. Builders from the Claude Builder Club will be in the room, so expect plenty of AI-assisted building alongside the onchain work.
What you're building
Anything you want, as long as it uses Solana. That's the only rule.
There are no tracks and no theme. It could be finance, gaming, healthcare, AI agents, or an idea you come up with on the day.
Judges will score the idea, how feasible it is, and how big it could become. Your build can be rough, so a prototype that shows how it works is enough.
When: Saturday 26 September, 10am to 6pm
Where: Dogpatch Labs, CHQ Building, Dublin
Prizes: €3,000
Cost: Free to attend
What to bring: a laptop and a charger. Lunch, snacks and refreshments are covered. AI credits/subscriptions are not included.
