Solana Monkey Developer (SMDev) An exclusive, non-purchaseable and non-transferable NFT awarded to a graduate of Ackee Blockchain Security’s School of Solana. Since February 2022, Ackee has trained thousands of developers in Rust and Solana, with less than 3% of developers successfully graduating, a prestigious achievement.
Inspired by the much-loved Solana Monkey Business NFT collection, the SMDevs initiative has two key goals: One is to help newcomers adopt an identity that aligns with the Solana ecosystem culture, and to encourage more developers to complete the program, ultimately increasing the number of developers releasing projects on Solana. Solana.
These NFTs complement Ackee’s existing authentication system. Ackee will continue to issue regular graduation certificate NFTs, ideal for sharing professional accomplishments on platforms such as LinkedIn, while SMDev will serve as an additional reward that strengthens community identity and developer growth within the Solana space.
SMDevs are earned by developers who complete a program, build a project, and successfully launch it on Solana. Graduates of School of Solana seasons 1-5 can request and claim NFTs. The claims process has not yet begun, but more details will be announced via the Solana Monkey Devs Twitter account.
By rewarding graduates with these unique NFTs, Ackee aims to build a stronger sense of community and encourage more developers to learn, build, and contribute to the Solana ecosystem.
