pump.fun Build In Public Hackathon

Reality TV. On Chain. For Good.

Backlot turns ambitious creative projects into community-funded, community-directed docu-series — where every vote is on-chain, every dollar is transparent, and every viewer is a producer.

The Problem

  • ✗ Creative projects die in obscurity without funding
  • ✗ Reality TV profits go to networks, not communities
  • ✗ Token projects lack real-world utility and narrative
  • ✗ Web3 content platforms feel soulless and extractive

Our Answer

  • ✓ Community-funded creative projects via $BACKLOT token
  • ✓ Viewers become producers — vote, fund, shape the story
  • ✓ Every interaction is on-chain: votes, funding, participation
  • ✓ Real projects, real places, real impact (starting in Jamaica)

8 Solana Integrations. One Weekend.
