Frequently Asked Questions

Shipyard is a curated discovery platform for real Solana dApps. We highlight projects that have shipped live MVPs and real utility—something users can actually try today. Our goal is to surface the best builder-led projects and help users, investors, and founders discover what’s actually shipped on Solana.

Any project with a working product on Solana can be listed on Shipyard. There are no requirements besides having a live, usable dApp. Both community members (hunters) and project founders can submit projects. Founders can claim their project listing after a simple verification (such as a Twitter DM) to prevent scam claims.

Projects can be submitted using the submit form on the main page. Just provide the required details and a link to your live Solana dApp. Once submitted, your project will be reviewed and published for the community to discover and upvote.

A hunter is a community member who lists a project they find interesting. A founder is the creator or team behind the project. Founders can claim their project listing to manage it directly, but all listings require a working product and basic verification to prevent scams.
