Solana is one those blockchain networks which rely on the validators and the infra providers and due to the decentralized nature of the chains, it becomes difficult to keep an eye on the network. Some of the providers are then manually kept in the network based on the foundations approval. And just like the approval the validators and providers are removed from the network too. 

Recently Solana foundation did the clean up for their validator program. They removed many old and less functional validators in favor of the new validators in lesser numbers to keep the core validator group strong. And this network is what is going to get the stake from the foundation too. 

Apart from this there are some of the hackathon programs going on with the Solana. One such is Colosseim breakout hackathon. In this program you would find that the program would add more developers to build on the Solana blockchain. And the deadline is in May. So you have still enough days to work on the project for the hackathon. 

If you are using Replit to build such programs you would find them in the sponsors too. So you would likely to have template AI prompts or something too. They have some decent AI and something worth exploring if you want deployable platform for this hackthon. 

Lot of interesting stuff going on with Solana ecosystem so worth checking out. You may want to see the hackathon and other updates on the twitter and see how that would help you as well.
