GoBUILD our first ever virtual hackathon has officially come to an end and we are ready to announce this year’s award winners!

It’s a WRAP! Hackers from around the world worked for one week to build their ideas and submit their final products for our GoBUILD virtual hackathon. Our judges were impressed by the quality of submissions and the creativity that came from it. The competition was fierce and the judges certainly had their work cut out for them. Although it wasn’t an easy deliberation we now have our final winners! We know you came here to find out who is taking home the money but before we announce the winners we’d like to take a moment to thank our sponsors.

From the entire GoChain team we thank you Amazix, Kucoin, Paperstreet.vc, Ivan on Tech Academy, Turbo Wallet and Hold Fuel. We could not have done this without your support and we appreciate you coming along for the journey!

Winners Circle

We very proudly announce the winners and introduce you to the projects that caught the attention of our all star judge panel and our very own GoChain community.

Go GREEN Award

Of course we couldn’t host a hackathon without an award category for an Eco conscious dApp. Fro-Go was a clear winner here! Thank you to the entire team for the hard work and dedication, we love the passion behind your hack.

Hack Description: Fro-GO incentives the behaviors necessary to cease our continued destruction of the planet. It does this via frozen rewards-based incentives initially aimed at our youth but in turn open to all, to drive change in our community. By utilizing the future technology of blockchain and the wealth of the today's generation we can forge a new path for the generation that follows.

#3 — Go Post

Hack Description: Completely decentralized, ad-free message sharing with a tipping system and a quicker, more convenient transaction system.

#2 — Permutatio

Not only do they take home second place but our community voted them their community choice award winner!

Hack Description: A dApp allowing users to migrate their ERC-20 contract with token holders to go in less than 5 minutes!

Drum Roll Please!

GoBUILD’s First Place and Grand Prize winner goes to…

UniPay — #1

The unstoppable gateway. Unbelievably there was only one team member doing it all!

Hack Description: Smart contracted operated payment gateway that enables Merchants to accept payments in GO and ERC20 tokens without being exposed to the volatility. The payment gets instantly exchanged to a stable coin, in a completely decentralized matter.

Thank You All!

We want to extend a huge “Thank You” to every participant for taking the time to build on GoChain and share your amazing creativity with us! We hope to see you back next year for an even bigger Hackathon and prize!
