Last week I had my first experience building something from scratch and joining an in-person hackathon.
I was at The Garage, an event created to support Brazilian builders shipping projects for Frontier, the global
@solana hackathon, and pitched at Demo Day.
And honestly, it was incredible.
I’d been feeling this urge to build a real product for a while. To take an idea out of my notes, bring it to life, test, fail, adjust, and build with the right people around me.
I’m really grateful to
@SuperteamBR for all the support and for creating such a great space for builders.
The Garage was exactly that: builders sharing ideas, helping each other, giving honest feedback, making real connections, pulling late nights, and turning ideas into something real.
I’m also very happy I met
@stelopesz during this process. She encouraged me to make this happen alongside an amazing team.
Thank you girls
@numadessas @glamonchain @stelopesz for believing in me, giving me strength, and making this process feel a little lighter.
Kixa was born 2 weeks before The Garage ended.
It came from two ideas that left the paper and became real. Wow. It still feels a bit surreal to say that.
There were sleepless nights, too much energy drink, code, bugs, structuring, feedback calls, route changes, anxiety, and many hours thinking about how to deliver something that actually made sense.
That’s how
@usekixa was born: a permission infrastructure for AI agents on Solana.
In practice, users can define rules for agents to operate with money more safely: spending limits, allowed tokens, approved contracts, access time, and revocation.
We finished Demo Day ranked 9th, and I’m really grateful for everything we experienced during these days.
But this is just the beginning for Kixa.
We’ll keep building. There’s a lot ahead.
If you’re building around agents, Solana, or crypto infra, would love to connect. 🤝
