What is this
The Program
Arrival, onboarding, goal-setting workshops. Each participant defines their shipping goal. USDC deposits locked.
Mentor sessions on game design, Solana tech, and publishing. Cross-team feedback loops. Studio spotlights begin.
Deep dives into on-chain mechanics, reactive gaming, and distribution. Build sprints and hackathon side-tracks.
Polish, Demo Day prep, finale documentary filming. Goal review and USDC refunds for those who shipped.
Accountability
Every participant deposits USDC at the start. Set a goal. Ship it. Get refunded.
Lock USDC when you arrive. Set your 28-day shipping goal.

Hit your goal → full refund. Miss it → It's your treat.
