Start your own publisher KYC

Winners must publish to the Solana dApp Store. You do not need a live listing to submit CLOCK IN (close 12 Oct, 13:59 GMT+2), but the publisher account is yours to create. Nobody else can pass identity check for you.

Do this on your accountSign up yourself at the portal. Use your email. Use your ID. A third party reviews it. While it says “in review”, you cannot upload an APK yet. That wait is normal.

1Open the portal

Go to publish.solanamobile.com. Create an account: email, full name, password. Read the Developer Agreement (it includes arbitration), the Publisher Policy, and the privacy policy before you tick the box. You must be 18 or the age of majority where you live.

2Submit KYC or KYB

After login, fill the publisher profile and start verification.

The check is run by a verification provider Solana Mobile designates. Enter accurate details. They can ask for more documents and can keep the portal locked until it clears. Review mail comes to the email you signed up with, including from publishersupport@dappstore.solanamobile.com.

3What you do not need yet

Leave the APK upload until KYC is approved. After that, the official path is: connect a browser wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) with about 0.2 SOL for fees and storage, pick a storage provider (ArDrive is the documented default), add the dApp, then submit a signed release APK. That wallet is the one you must keep for every later version of the same app. Steps: Submit a New App.

4CLOCK IN vs the store

Submit the hackathon on solanamobile.radiant.nexus with your APK, public repo, demo, and deck. The store listing is a separate queue (docs say review results usually in 3–5 business days after you submit the app). Devnet apps are accepted for CLOCK IN. Do not wait on KYC to submit the hackathon.

5Checkpoint

You have a publisher account in your name, and the portal shows KYC or KYB submitted (pending or approved). You still have the signed release APK from Module 05. Submission guide →
