Solana Bootcamp – APAC reflects the Solana Foundation’s continued commitment to supporting APAC as a strategic growth region, with sustained investment in developer education, ecosystem access, and long-term builder enablement. The bootcamp is designed to help both Web3 developers new to Solana and Web2 engineers exploring Web3 confidently enter and grow within the Solana ecosystem.
"APAC has some of the most active Solana communities, and we’ve already seen many meaningful projects and builder teams come out of the region. Through this bootcamp, we’re creating an accessible on-ramp for developers across Asia to learn about Solana and build with confidence," said Chaerin Kim, APAC Growth, Solana Foundation. "Over time, we hope this evolves into a durable support layer - offering more consistent touchpoints, better access to resources, and clearer pathways for APAC developers to continue building and shipping on Solana."

In addition to structured courses, the bootcamp features invited industry expert sessions with investors from leading US/APAC institutions, independent investors, industry leaders, and developers across the Solana ecosystem. Through live discussions and workshops, these sessions provide builders with real-world insights into decision-making, product strategy, and ecosystem dynamics beyond code.
Participants who complete the program and workshops will receive non-transferable, on-chain builder credentials issued as Soulbound Tokens (SBTs). These credentials recognize verified learning progress and real execution and unlock ongoing ecosystem benefits, including priority access to future Solana hackathons, accelerator consideration, and curated ecosystem programs.
Solana Bootcamp – APAC represents a joint effort between OnePiece Labs and the Solana Foundation to build long-term infrastructure for APAC developers, connecting regional talent with global opportunities and strengthening the next generation of Solana-native products.
The program is built and operated by OnePiece Labs, leveraging its strong presence and influence in Silicon Valley and the U.S. market. With experience running multiple accelerator and incubator programs and supporting over 100 portfolio companies globally, OnePiece Labs brings deep operational expertise, ecosystem connectivity, and direct access to founders, operators, and industry leaders.
