⚡ Superteam KZ: October Recap

October was a milestone month for the Solana Superteam KZ - full of events, growth, and achievements 💪
 

Digital Bridge: Solana Goes Mainstream

At Digital Bridge 2025, one of Eurasia’s most influential tech forums, Superteam KZ presented the Solana ecosystem to government leaders, investors, and innovators.

The event was joined by Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, and Tamar Menteshashvili, Head of Stablecoins, marking a historic moment - highlighting the growing collaboration between Solana and Kazakhstan’s tech community.

Superteam KZ members spoke on multiple panels, discussing the future of stablecoins, decentralized finance, and blockchain adoption across the region.
 

Side event

At a special side event, Superteam KZ recognized the best graduates of the Solana Developer Course.
Each winner received ₸500 000, and one standout developer earned a ticket to Breakpoint 2025 - Solana’s flagship conference.
These students represent the first generation of blockchain builders trained locally in Kazakhstan, ready to bring global-level innovation home.

Celebrating Builders: Solana Day Hackathon Awards

In early October, Superteam KZ hosted the award ceremony for Solana Day Hackathon.
Six teams across two tracks were honored for their creativity and technical execution — proving that local developers can compete shoulder-to-shoulder with global Web3 talent.

EVO: A Digital Tenge for the Real World

October also marked the public launch of the EVO Bounty — an open call for ideas to integrate EVO (KZTE), the tenge-backed stablecoin on Solana, into practical use cases.
From retail payments to loyalty systems, the goal is clear: bring stablecoin utility from code to cash registers.

Superteam KZ is already working with partners to pilot EVO integration in retail infrastructure - a first step toward real-world blockchain adoption in Kazakhstan.
 

Build Station: Kazakhstan Joins the Global Top 10

The month also saw the first-ever Build Station Kazakhstan, a builder-focused accelerator featuring global mentors and guests.
With more than 250 registrations, Kazakhstan entered the Top-10 countries worldwide by project submissions on Cypherpunk hackathon.
This milestone confirms what many already feel: the region’s builders are ready for the global stage.

Community and Culture: Halloween Edition at NU

To close the month, Superteam KZ hosted “Innovate with Solana: Halloween Edition” at Nazarbayev University - a mix of learning, networking, and celebration.
Developers, marketers, and students discussed opportunities within Solana, explored the Superteam Talent platform, and shared what it truly means to build together.

🏪 EVO x Retail Integration

The team continues work on integrating EVO stablecoin into retail infrastructure, bridging blockchain and everyday payments.

💬 November is just beginning - and it’s already full of partnerships and opportunities.
Let’s keep building together 💪
