SVM Collective Content Challenge

Together with our founding partners SOON and Sonic, Solayer have just announced the launch of the SVM Collective, and to celebrate are hosting a $900 USDC bounty for community members who create visually engaging content and deep-dive explainers.

About the SVM Collective

The SVM Collective is a builder-led alliance founded by Solayer, Sonic, and SOON to scale and unify the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) ecosystem.

Its main goal is to make collaboration and interoperability between SVM-based networks seamless – improving liquidity, shared standards, and user experience.

The Collective’s first shared infrastructure is sBridge, a cross-chain liquidity and interoperability layer that connects SVM networks at chain speed and allows assets and calls to move without wrappers or trust assumptions.

The founding members – Solayer, Sonic, and SOON act as the first “Guardians” of sBridge, operating and securing it.

Bounty Mission

We’re excited to launch the SVM Collective Content Challenge – a dual-track bounty for the community to showcase their understanding, creativity, and vision for the future of the SVM ecosystem.
