Hackathon Winners!
Over the last 3 weeks, 20 teams have been building on the PoolTogether Protocol as part of the Gitcoin NY Blockchain Week Hackathon. We’re proud to share what they’ve built and who won the $4,000 in prizes!
Create A Pod & Microsite — $1,500
Our first bounty challenged teams to take advantage of thew new “pod” feature to create a new pod for people to link their tickets and split prizes!
WINNER: Donut Pod
Built by Pierrick, we loved the idea of building a “Donut Pod” to appeal to users of Reddit. The Donut Pod is currently deployed on Kovan!
Second Place: PodTogether
PodTogether enables anyone to create their own pod with a single click! Currently deployed on mainnet and currently under construction!
Honorable Mention: Spend Pod
Best PoolTogether Project — $1,000
This was our catch all bounty for any ideas people had to get more money, attention, or people in the pool! This was a close category with lots of competition!
WINNER: PoolTogether Bot
Built by the Hal Team, the PoolTogether bot monitors new deposits and prize awards on Twitter and Discord, we think it’s a great way to track the growth of the project! Even better, the Hal Team created a guide so anyone can now create their own bots!
Second Place: PoolTogether with Sports Predictions & Aave + PoolTogether
We had a two way tie for second place! We love both these projects. The first enables the creation of prize pools that are paid out based on the winner of sporting matches. The second one allows users of Aave to deposit their interest into PoolTogether.
Honorable Mention: Feed The Prize, PodVE
