Dragon Quest — The Finish Line! 🏆
Here we are at the finish line! It’s been a hectic month with everything going on in the world but that hasn’t deterred our hackers from producing some truly incredible Dapps, products & more!
Congratulations to all of our hackers who’ve put in the hard work to get to the end of the month and submit some amazing projects! There were 27 final submissions in total and every single one was incredibly impressive.
We’ve put together a Twitter thread showcasing all of the final submissions! This is the best place to check out the projects that have come out of the hackathon and connect with builders.
Over 70 submissions were made to individual bounties — another amazing result! Our sponsors have been blown away by the engagement and enthusiasm from hackers and will be happily dishing out bounties over the coming weeks.
Socially Distanced Support 💻🖥💻
We saw 15+ workshops, webinars and community calls throughout the hackathon. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all of our sponsors who’ve taken it upon themselves to provide insight and support to everyone hacking on their technology.
Kick back & Push Up! 💪
Yalor & Makoto hosted an inspiring 30 day 20 push up challenge via Kickback where 25 hackers, sponsors & community members all staked 0.1 ETH and pledged to upload a video of themselves completing 20 push ups every day for the entire month! This has just wrapped up and you can check on the results over on pepo.com & kickback.events.
