Solana Mobile has launched a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and Bug Bounty Program that pays researchers up to $75,000 in SKR for critical vulnerabilities in Seed Vault, SKR's onchain programs, and Seeker Genesis Token infrastructure. Rewards are paid under a signed Award Agreement across four severity tiers, and a separate Security Grants program launched alongside it.
Solana Foundation is running Solana School's Fall Class from August 31 through October 16, a free, seven-week, cohort-based program that ships working code every session, three times a week. Unlike the summer cohort, which required a college email, the Fall Class is open to any developer who applies, ending in a Demo Day pitched as practice for Colosseum.
Nexus Mutual has extended DeFi coverage to Solana for the first time, with live listings for Kamino, Raydium, Orca, and Jupiter spanning roughly 90% of Solana lending deposits. The mutual has paid 100% of valid claims across more than $7 billion in cover written over seven years, all of it previously confined to Ethereum and other EVM chains.
Coinbase Developer Platform has brought its SQL API to Solana in beta, letting developers query SPL Token and Token-2022 activity with plain SQL instead of running an indexer. Two datasets ship at launch, with 500ms freshness to the tip of the chain and 1,000 free queries a month.
