Information on TRON Grand Hackathon
On February 14th, TRON DAO and BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) announced the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022.
TRON DAO’s long-term initiative is to encourage the mass adoption of blockchain technology and innovative cross-chain solutions including the Hackathon.
The Hackathon’s main purpose is to empower developers to create and implement DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and Web3 applications on TRON and other blockchain platforms, as well as to build a dynamic content and entertainment ecosystem.
For entrepreneurs, engineers, and designers who have long wanted to build a smart contract or blockchain-related application on TRON/BTTC, the TRON Grand Hackathon has been an exciting chance.
The competition will be divided into different seasons. Each season of the Hackathon will be divided into four tracks, including DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and Web3, with a total prize pool of $500,000.
This will be a three-monthly funding event to foster the expansion of the TRON and BTTC ecosystem.
On March 14, the winners of the first season were announced.
Four Tracks, Four 1st Prize Winners
On March 14, crypto experts and community members revealed the identities of the winners of TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 Season 1 in an official statement shared by TRON DAO.
Crypto teams were asked to participate in the hackathon’s four tracks: NFT, GameFi, DeFi, and Web3. Crypto experts, opinion leaders, and a public community review board made up each track’s final evaluation panel.
The quality and range of the applications impressed the prestigious judging panel, which included industry experts, institutional professionals, and prominent opinion leaders.
TuruGlobal’s VersacBrickSquad concept was recognized as the winner for the NFT track. The real estate market will be able to use non-fungible tokens thanks to this technology. It is technically a group of DAOs dedicated to real estate investment.
Members of the TRON DAO community praised VersacBrickSquad’s work and vision, as well as the critical importance of its use case:
This is something we really need in this space. Community power should not be underestimated. The DAOs are the perfect tool to make the most out of all the smart people out there.
In the Web3 category, Cctechmx’s dCloud took first place. dCloud is a mobile cloud storage app that uses blockchain-based tools to store data in a distributed manner. On iOS and Android, its BitTorrent-like capabilities are already available.
Season 2 to Begin in May 2022
In May, the second season of the TRON Grand Hackathon will begin.
JustMoney Exchange by JustMoney, a decentralized cross-asset crypto conversion platform, receives the award in the Decentralized Finance Protocols (DeFi) category.
JustMoney exchange, in addition to the DEX module, allows users to buy services and goods with cryptocurrencies.
The winner of the GameFi Track was TronNinja Arcade, created by the TronNinja Team. Users can acquire TronNinjas Token (TNT) by participating in in-game activities.
TRON DAO’s ecosystem honored all of the winners and announced the details of the next TRON Grand Hackathon. On May 16, 2022, the second season will begin.
Projects will be tracked based on what they’ve built and what they expect to build through the milestones they’ve been assigned, with awards awarded if those milestones are met.
The Hackathon maintains the right to withhold the remaining amount of the rewards if the milestones are not met objectively.
