From December 7th to 9th the
#HackTheFuture hackathon organized by
@_Qubic_ and
@lablabai took place.
And it was a real success, not (only) because of the incredible participation numbers, but the projects generated:
🔥 1,654 participants
🔥 265 teams
🔥 102 projects submitted
A completely new approach from the Qubic Ecosystem team to show how projects already incubated by Qubic can attract new developers to build their projects (spoiler alert: it worked!):
▪️ Track 1
#Nostromo: for developers building from scratch
▪️ Track 2
#EasyConnect: for everyone, using no-code
And if there's one team that understands the impact of Qubic hackathons, it's
@Kairos_Tek . We're the team that won 🥈 at the first
#MADHack hackathon with
@_easyconnect and 🥇 in the Qubic track at
#RISEYourHack with
@_qbuild_
But beyond the awards, at Kairos we've been able to leverage the incubation program, developing and launching EasyConnect in September (and 🚀 growing ever since, with nearly 200 registered users and truly relevant projects, such as
@garthonqubic's integration of EasyConnect to gamify his Discord channel).
And we're in the final stages of developing 🔎 Qbuild (the automated smart contract auditing tool that we'll launch early next year).
So our goal participating in
#HackTheFuture was to offer everyone (not just developers) the opportunity to participate in a hackathon, building their projects on Qubic through 🧩 no-code platforms, thanks to EasyConnect, and also to inspire and help the winning teams to 💪 continue building their projects on this network, as we did.
And the truth is, we couldn't be 🥲 happier with the result, both in terms of the number of participants and the projects developed.
And finally, as always, it has been a 🙌 pleasure working before, during and after the hackathon with the entire Qubic team:
@albefero &
@MrRose_22,
@DeFiMomma,
@RaZiaH_Q and all the ambassador community,
@celorrio_javier & team from
@NostromoPad,
@Qubic_JOETOM & the Core team...
Here's my summary at the Qubic "All Hands AMA", talking about the hackaton experience from the point of view of Kairos.
🧑💻 See you in the next Qubic hackaton!
