Quick Look at the 33 Winning Projects of the Solana Breakpoint 2025 Hackathon

Original Title: "A Comprehensive Review of Solana Hackathon Grand Prize Projects: Industry Seeds Chosen from Hundreds"

Original Author: Azuma, Odaily

From December 11 to December 13, the fifth Breakpoint was successfully held in Abu Dhabi. As the largest and most influential ecosystem conference in the Solana ecosystem, Breakpoint often carries the expectations of the entire Solana community for value judgment, future direction, and wealth creation information exchange.

During the Breakpoint period, the Solana Cypherpunk Hackathon, hosted by the Solana Foundation and organized by Colosseum, received significant exposure and attention. This hackathon brought together entrepreneurs and developers from over 150 countries, with more than 9,000 participants forming teams and submitting 1,576 projects. These projects covered infrastructure, consumer applications, DeFi, stablecoins, RWA, and various innovative products in undefined tracks, making this the largest crypto-themed hackathon to date.

Below is a detailed review by Odaily of the winning projects from this hackathon. In the current market downturn and narrative exhaustion, these new projects not only offer certain investment opportunities but also have the potential to become the seeds that ignite the next cycle, driving the industry toward a new round of explosive growth.

Grand Champion: Unruggable

X Link:

Introduction: Unruggable is the first hardware wallet and companion app designed specifically for Solana, aiming to create a simple, fast, easy-to-use, and fully Solana-optimized self-custody solution. Existing hardware wallets are mostly multi-chain by design; although they support various blockchains, they are not deeply optimized for any single chain, and support for Solana is often secondary. For example, Ledger will not support SLP format tokens until 2025.

With the Unruggable hardware wallet and app, users can directly swap, stake, lend, earn, transfer, and manage assets. Unruggable is deeply integrated with Jito for transaction optimization and natively includes features such as Squads multisig, Jupiter lending and swapping, Titan aggregated trading, Anza private transfers, SNS, DeFi Carrot, Privacy Cash, and more.

Unruggable aims to provide Solana with the speed and convenience of a hot wallet while achieving cold wallet-level security. Users can complete secure setup in less than 30 seconds. The Unruggable companion app is fully cross-platform, completely open-source, and written entirely in Rust.

Subcategory: Consumer Applications

First Place: Capitola

X Link:

Introduction: Capitola is a native prediction market aggregator that allows users to bet on all events across platforms at the best prices.

Second Place: Superfan

X Link:

Introduction: Superfan is a metaverse record label built on Solana and MetaDAO infrastructure, aiming to convert fans' beliefs into artists' credit through prediction market mechanisms. Fans can hold tokens to own shares in the label, vote on which artists to fund, and benefit from repayments.

Third Place: Fora

X Link:

Introduction: Fora is a social trading platform and prediction market protocol that supports group chats.

Fourth Place: Toaster.trade

X Link:

Introduction: Toaster.trade is a lightweight Solana trading platform powered by Hyperliquid.

Fifth Place: Nomu

X Link:

Introduction: Nomu is a marketplace that allows users to purchase products in advance and receive rewards when the products are sold. Nomu aims to build a two-way feedback business ecosystem rather than a one-way consumption chain. When consumers support a product, their purchase provides funding and injects into a transparent reward pool. As the community buys, trades, and promotes, the reward pool grows, and when the product is successfully launched, participants who drove the process share the profits. With Nomu, consumption can be transformed into liquid capital rather than sunk costs.

Subcategory: DeFi

First Place: Yumi Finance

X Link:

Introduction: Yumi Finance aims to build a fully on-chain Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution, covering the entire process from credit assessment, fund allocation, loan origination, to bad debt handling.

Second Place: Kormos

X Link:

Introduction: Kormos aims to create a high-yield solution for Solana without leverage through a fractional reserve mechanism. Kormos Vaults intelligently allocate user funds within the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with depositors divided into two roles.

Liquid depositors—enjoy higher yields (compared to other liquidity DeFi yields), but in the event of a "run," must wait in a first-in, first-out queue for redemption (instant redemption under normal circumstances); Locked depositors—enjoy even higher yields (compared to assets of the same term), can choose their redemption period, and the longer the period, the higher the yield.

Kormos has a deposit protection mechanism: locked depositors, as the priority tier, provide a buffer for liquid depositors and will bear losses first if underlying protocols incur losses.

Third Place: Rekt

X Link:

Introduction: Rekt is a mobile trading app designed to make trading easy for ordinary users through a simple, gamified experience. With Rekt, users do not need a large principal or deep financial knowledge—just $1 is enough to start making directional predictions on BTC, ETH, or SOL.

Fourth Place: Archer

X Link:

Introduction: Archer is an anti-MEV trading protocol that protects market makers from adverse selection and latency competition, providing traders with the most competitive prices.

Archer's innovative matching engine allows market makers to compete purely by offering the best prices and depth to traders, greatly reducing multiple MEV attacks against market makers and takers.

Fifth Place: Hobba

X Link:

Introduction: Hobba aims to build a safer, more efficient, and worry-free lending service. Hobba automatically allocates liquidity across Solana to obtain the best interest rates, allowing idle funds to generate returns and using these returns to continuously repay user loans.

When collateral assets appreciate, Hobba accelerates repayments; when values fall, the off-chain risk engine automatically rebalances to ensure user safety.

Subcategory: Infrastructure

First Place: Seer

X Link: None

Introduction: Seer is a breakthrough tool for Solana transaction debugging. Similar to Tenderly on EVM, it provides complete function and line-level tracing of transaction execution, including source code mapping, standard Solana logs and error messages, and data snapshots of local variables at specific locations.

Second Place: Corbits

X Link:

Introduction: Corbits enables AI agents to instantly pay API fees via the x402 protocol—no account, no key, pay-as-you-go. For merchants, adding a new payment method takes only a few hours, endpoint agent configuration takes just minutes, and transactions are processed in real time.

Third Place: Ionic

X Link: None

Introduction: Ionic builds the missing data aggregation layer for Solana. Solana's 0.4-second block time and over 800 transactions per second generate massive data, making it nearly impossible for traditional tools to handle complex real-time statistics. Ionic's pre-processed analytics service can return results in milliseconds, while traditional tools (such as Dune, BitQuery) take several minutes.

Ionic's target customers include projects migrating to Solana and platforms needing complex real-time data.

Fourth Place: Pine Analytics

First Place: Autonom

X Link:

Introduction: Autonom is an oracle designed for real-world assets, capable of on-chain dynamic pricing for different corporate actions to solve the off-chain asset pricing issues currently plaguing on-chain markets.

Currently, real-world assets (especially stock assets) have not truly entered the perpetual contract field, at least not widely in the Solana ecosystem. The key reason is that stocks undergo various corporate actions (such as splits, dividends, or mergers), all of which affect stock prices, and existing oracle systems do not account for these factors.

Second Place: Bore.fi

X Link: None

Introduction: Bore.fi aims to bring boring but cash-flow-stable businesses on-chain.

"Builders, laundromats, logistics companies... The world is full of boring, cash-flow-stable, and profitable businesses. They don't chase trends but continuously generate cash flow. Bore.fi hopes to acquire these boring businesses and bring them on-chain, turning steady but unexciting businesses into on-chain yield-generating machines, thereby creating the world's first tokenized SME private equity protocol. Real-world returns don't come from leverage or meme coins, but from—these are the businesses we're bringing to Solana."

Third Place: Legasi

X Link:

Introduction: Legasi brings institutional-grade long-term lending into the digital age through Lombard loans backed by crypto assets. As a compliant on-chain credit layer, Legasi allows anyone to instantly borrow fiat currency using their digital assets as collateral.

Fourth Place: Pencil Finance

X Link:

Introduction: Pencil Finance is the first DeFi protocol to bring real-world student loans on-chain, creating a new yield-bearing asset class backed by education.

Third Place: Cloak

X Link:

Introduction: Cloak aims to enable private payments on Solana. Cloak will build a privacy pool where miners in the ecosystem can ensure and maintain network privacy by submitting valid work and generating transaction traffic, ensuring system activity does not solely depend on user traffic. On-chain, the network can only see the "pool → recipient" path, not the "sender → recipient." Each new deposit and miner-processed withdrawal continuously expands the anonymity set.

Fourth Place: Mercantill

Subcategory: Undefined Track

First Place: attn.markets

X Link:

Introduction: attn.markets aims to tokenize nearly 2 billions USD of total revenue in the Solana ecosystem to unlock more DeFi possibilities. Currently, Solana ecosystem applications are expected to generate annual revenues of up to 1.72 billions USD. For example, Pump.fun's creator rewards have an annualized income of up to 300 millions USD. Such huge capital flows are currently completely outside the DeFi ecosystem.

Second Place: Echo

X Link:

Introduction: Echo aims to build an automated expert network that accurately matches scientists with funders, greatly reducing the time cost of verifying the impact of scientific research results.
