2025 cypherpunk submission
What it does
From the project README:
A blockchain-powered engagement tracking platform for university clubs built on Solana. Features QR code check-ins, photo proof verification, and ELO-based leaderboard rankings.

Dapp: devnet deploy pending
⏳ Devnet deploy pending — goes live when the devnet wallet is topped up. This fork's own dapp is not deployed yet, so there is no program address or transaction to show. It is queued in dapp-queue.txt; once devnet SOL is available it is deployed, exercised with real devnet transactions, and this section switches to the live dapp at /dapps/proof-of-engagement/. Until then, the lesson and step-by-step guide below are complete, and you can run it locally with the commands below.
Key code, explained
Excerpts chosen automatically where the code uses the most Solana concepts, pinned to the fork's commit.
programs/proof-of-engagement/src/lib.rs L61–84 @ 190b41f · MIT · original event.created_at = Clock::get()?.unix_timestamp; event.bump = ctx.bumps.event; // Increment club's total events let club = &mut ctx.accounts.club; club.total_events = club.total_events.checked_add(1).unwrap(); msg!("Event created: {} for club: {}", event.name, club.name); Ok(()) } /// Record attendance for an event with photo proof pub fn record_attendance( ctx: Context<RecordAttendance>, photo_hash: String, ) -> Result<()> { require!(photo_hash.len() <= 128, ErrorCode::PhotoHashTooLong); let event = &mut ctx.accounts.event; require!(event.is_active, ErrorCode::EventNotActive); require!( event.current_attendance < event.max_capacity, ErrorCode::EventAtCapacity );- Line 61
event.created_at = Clock::get()?.unix_timestamp;: Reads on-chain time from the Clock sysvar. - Line 62
event.bump = ctx.bumps.event;: Uses the bump seed, the extra byte that pushes the derived address off the ed25519 curve. - Line 66
club.total_events = club.total_events.checked_add(1).unwrap();: Uses checked arithmetic so overflow fails instead of wrapping. - Line 68
msg!("Event created: {} for club: {}", event.name, club.name);: Logs to the program log, which is visible in explorers and the test output. - Line 77
require!(photo_hash.len() <= 128, ErrorCode::PhotoHashTooLong);: An explicit validation that aborts the instruction with an error.
How to run, build and test
These commands come from the repo's own manifests (package.json scripts, Anchor.toml, Cargo, go.mod, Makefile). Check the README for prerequisites and environment variables.
| Directory | Command | Runs |
|---|---|---|
. | anchor build | compile programs and generate IDLs |
. | anchor test | local validator + test suite |
. | anchor run test | yarn run ts-mocha -p ./tsconfig.json -t 1000000 tests/**/*.ts |
What you could build from it
- Fork the SuperStack copy and extend it within the Other gaps listed on the idea page.
- Learn the pattern first: Program Derived Addresses (PDAs)
- Learn the pattern first: Cross-Program Invocations (CPIs)
