Stake Heist Hackathon ended on 8th May 23:59 UTC with 11 valid submissions and total of 4,375,000 ONEs to be given out as prizes to 6 participants.

We launched Stake Heist prior to Open Staking to allow our community to contribute to building staking tools (we called them ‘projects’) as well as finding bugs in our staking design. Since this competition happened mostly around the projects, we also launched a private security competition with Hackerone to specifically focus on exploits on an ongoing basis.

Stake Heist received 11 submissions over the 3 week period running in collaboration with Gitcoin. Let’s see the winners of each category.
