Next Steps

Here’s what’s coming up as we move toward the full launch of the SharkLabs University Validator Program:

1. Onboarding Calls

Throughout August, we’ll schedule individual calls with each participating university to:

• Finalize onboarding.

• Collect required club information (treasury wallet, point of contact, etc.).

• Answer any questions about the validator or program.

2. Student Dashboard Beta

Clubs will get early access to the Student Dashboard to:

• Test its features and provide feedback.

• Set up club profiles and teams.

• Try out the points system before it goes live in September.

3. Event Coordination – Fall Semester

Once classes begin, we’ll start working with clubs to:

• Schedule workshops, hackathons, and speaker events.

• Integrate these events into the points system for added engagement.

• Support on-campus and online activities tailored to each university’s needs.

We’re excited to get everyone fully onboarded and ready for a great semester of learning, building, and growing the Solana community.
