The Solana Graveyard Hackathon brought together builders from across the ecosystem to experiment with new ideas, ship fast, and push the boundaries of what can be built on Solana.

For the Audius and Open Audio Protocol track, the response from developers was incredible. Over the course of the hackathon, 37 teams submitted projects exploring everything from listening parties and remix collaboration to music discovery engines, funding platforms, and creator monetization tools.

Choosing winners was not easy. The quality and creativity of submissions showed just how much potential there is when developers build on an open music ecosystem.

Below is a roundup of the winners and honorable mentions from the Audius track.

🥇 1st Place — SyncWave

Prize: $2,000

SyncWave by xefuzion takes the idea of a listening party and elevates it into a fully interactive experience.

The app combines:

• Shared music playback powered by the Audius catalog
• A real-time visualizer
• A built-in chatbox for fans

The result is a sleek environment where communities can gather, listen, and react together in real time.

🎟 Special Prize — Best Music x Ticketing

A special joint prize sponsored by KYD Labs and Audius recognized the best project combining music and ticketing.

🏆 AfterShow

Built by jsigwart and team, AfterShow reimagines the value of concert tickets after the event is over.

Instead of a ticket being a disposable artifact, AfterShow turns it into a persistent digital collectible and access pass, unlocking experiences even after the show ends.

The project demonstrates how blockchain and open music infrastructure can transform ticketing into an ongoing relationship between artists and fans.

The Bigger Picture

What stood out across the submissions was the diversity of ideas developers explored on top of the Open Audio ecosystem:

• Social listening platforms
• Music discovery engines
• Artist collaboration tools
• Fan investment models
• Creator monetization layers
• Gaming and metaverse integrations
• Community bots and social tools

This range shows the power of an open music catalog and programmable music infrastructure. When the underlying data and media are accessible, developers can experiment freely and build entirely new music experiences.

And judging by the submissions from this hackathon, builders are just getting started.
