The Brazilian crypto scene is buzzing after the Cypherpunk Shipathon, a high-energy build sprint organized by Superteam Brasil. This event wrapped up just before submissions for the Colosseum Hackathon, and it was all about channeling that raw Brazilian building spirit. Over the last 10 days, 15 teams hunkered down at SuperHouse, with more than 30 projects getting online support. Workshops, pitch reviews, and matchmaking sessions kept the momentum going, helping teams polish their ideas for the big stage.

Brazilian builders shattered records with their submissions to the hackathon, showcasing the country's growing clout in the Solana ecosystem. Superteam Brasil was right there, providing the fuel needed for that final push. Now, let's dive into the 11 top projects that emerged from this Shipathon—each one a testament to innovation on Solana. These aren't just ideas; they're practical solutions blending DeFi, AI, gaming, and real-world applications.

Cloak: Privacy Rails for Solana

Starting strong with Cloak, the privacy execution layer built on Solana. Think of it as a way to make swaps, routing, and transfers private without the hassle of mixers or delays—everything stays fully auditable. Co-founders @mfeitozaa and @0x_arthurbretas, both OG members of Superteam Brasil and winners of the IslanDAO 2025 Hackathon, are behind this.

Cloak lets users and institutions transact privately while keeping sender and receiver details hidden. DeFi protocols can plug in privacy via an SDK, and it even creates a miner-driven economy sharing network fees. Privacy in crypto often means trade-offs, but Cloak aims to make it seamless.

VitalFi: Financing Healthcare on Chain

Next up is VitalFi, a DeFi platform tackling healthcare receivables in Brazil. It connects liquidity providers with vetted medical bills, offering up to 16% APY while funding real healthcare ops. Built on Solana, it brings transparency to credit—every deposit, allocation, and repayment is verifiable in real time.

Funds are locked until maturity, backed by top-rated hospitals and insurers under Brazilian law. When payments come in, you get your principal plus yield. The team has deep experience from Centrifuge and LATAM banks, making this a solid real-world use case for crypto.

DeFunds Finance: On-Chain Asset Management

DeFunds Finance bridges hedge fund tactics with on-chain management. Using Solana's DeFi strategy vaults, it's all auditable with smart contracts, performance fees, and real-time analytics. Co-founders @blchead and @mvgp_td, Superteam Brasil members with TradFi backgrounds, are driving this.

Investors can diversify across yields, while Web2 fund managers migrate to Web3. It shifts from copy trading to shared pools where everyone wins or loses together—proportional and fair.

Dust3: Gaming Meets Blockchain

Dust3 is inspired by CS:GO's skin economy, bringing collectibles on-chain with real ownership. Open loot boxes with on-chain randomness and instant liquidity—each item backed by verifiable assets. Led by @vict0rcarvalh0o, a key Solana dev in LATAM and Superteam member.

It's phase one of merging gaming culture with blockchain, where authenticity and claimability shine.

Exchainge: Marketplace for Physical AI Data

Exchainge is the first marketplace for physical AI data like robotics and sensors, all on Solana. Creators monetize datasets, and buyers find exactly what they need. The team includes pros from PwC, GE, Animoca Brands, and a16z Crypto Startup School.

With advisors in payments and data networks, it's set to connect AI builders efficiently.

Exa Energy: Clean Energy Marketplace

Exa Energy turns distributed generation credits into liquid digital assets on Solana. It links small generators with consumers for better liquidity and rates. MVP is live in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, with a WhatsApp-first interface for easy management.

Solana ensures fast, secure settlements, paving the way for LATAM expansion.

SRWA: Institutional RWAs on DeFi

SRWA brings real-world assets to Solana DeFi with institutional-grade features. Tokens embed rules, compliance, and policies on-chain, no middlemen needed. It integrates with protocols like MarginFi and Jupiter for yield and liquidity.

The goal? A native RWA ecosystem that's programmable and decentralized.

Vetra: AI Transaction Shield

Vetra is an AI browser extension that scans transactions before signing. It explains contracts in plain English, gives risk scores, and suggests actions. Using a multi-agent system with Gemini 2.0, it checks for phishing, rugs, and more.

Started at SuperteamBR Ideathon (3rd place), now with a full MVP.

Poker AI: Casino for AI Agents

Poker AI is the world's first casino where humans bet, but AI agents play. Mint an NFT agent, let it compete in poker, and trade based on performance. Agents level up and earn rewards in $AGC.

Blending GameFi and AI, it's led by @rafamilkz and a seasoned Solana team.

Trench Games: Battle Royale Launchpad

Trench Games turns token launches into a battle royale. 10 tokens, one winner in under 6 minutes, with live chat and refunds in winner tokens for losers. Led by a Sony vet, it consolidates liquidity and attention.

Earn lifetime fees via referrals—fun and fair.

Vokter: 2FA Wallet Security

Vokter adds true 2FA to Solana wallets, requiring a TOTP code alongside your private key. It protects against hacks without losing self-custody. Great for users and enterprises.

Led by @anthonystepvoy, an OG Solana dev.

And a shoutout to Cr0ni4, reimagining credit cards on Solana with token-backed credit and on-chain installments—no intermediaries.

These projects highlight Brazil's push in Solana innovation. As they head to Colosseum, keep an eye on how they evolve the ecosystem. If you're into meme tokens or broader crypto, events like this often spark the next big trends. Stay tuned for more updates!
