GM Neonauts,
June kept us busy - event season was in full swing and our team showed up across major conference stages, we went full R&D mode exploring new ways to go beyond Solana’s account model, the Neon Dev Bootcamp kept growing, and our community spaces lit up with builder energy.
Here’s what stood out.
🛠 Product & R&D
We gave the site a full refresh - slick and smooth, just like EVM on Solana. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a spin: https://www.neonevm.org/
R&D spotlight: Most Solana dApps build around the 64-account limit. We’re exploring how to go beyond it, meeting EVM needs with Solana design. Check our latest research article on Container Accounts.
🌍 Events
It’s not just Solana summer - it’s crypto events season, and we’ve been pretty much everywhere. This month was all about showing what Neon can do and connecting with builders IRL.
ETHBelgrade: from a packed workshop by our DevRel Jules Gallen to a deep-dive session by Senior Rust Engineer Dzmitry Zdanovich - this one was a highlight. Catch the full recap here.
Our Builders Meetup lit up Berlin Blockchain Week: top minds in the space joined us for panels on DeFi and real talks on multichain interoperability. Missed the recap video? Here’s the proof-of-vibes.
ETHMilan: Neon’s Italian unit - Davide Menegaldo (CCO) and Ginevra Maggi (Marketing Manager) - was on-site to meet the builders.
ETHCluj: Our Head of Marketing Vanina Ivanova gave talks on community building and EVM compatibility as a path to better UX - making the case for a more unified dev experience.
ETHCC: we showed the French Riviera what Solana-native EVM looks like:
– A keynote by our Head of Product Florian Munoz on building without barriers
– A workshop by our DevRel Jules Gallen on triggering external logic from Solidity
– A booth loaded with demos, merch, and good convos
🏎️ Builders & Community
The Neon Dev Bootcamp keeps going strong, and it’s been amazing to see so many devs dive in, get hands-on, and keep showing up week after week. Meanwhile, Twitter Spaces and community contests kept the energy high.
Neon Dev Bootcamp on Hackernoon: We’re proud to see the Bootcamp highlighted as one of the spaces where real learning meets real building. Structured learning, Solidity on Solana, and fast feedback - that’s how we empower the next wave of builders.
Featured in Crypto-Economy: we were highlighted as a key contributor to Solana’s developer growth in a recent piece by Crypto-Economy. The article positions Neon EVM among the top projects advancing interoperability and EVM tooling within the ecosystem.
ETHCC Ticket Contest: Three Neonauts earned their way to Cannes, winning free tickets to Ethereum’s flagship event with standout content. Big congrats again to the winners!
Dev by Dev Twitter Space: We teamed up with Superteam Nigeria to talk about what really powers dev communities — and 700+ people tuned in live. Missed it? You can catch the recording here.
Builder's Coffee Break: Another chill community session with our Bootcamp participants — think 30 minutes of dev-only group therapy. Wonder what it’s like? Here’s the recording.
And that’s a wrap - thanks for reading through!
See you next month.

Whatever you’re building, bring it to Solana.
