The Easya consensus hackon, organized from May 14 to 16 in Toronto, was the largest Hackathon related to the block chain in the history of North America, and its organizers, Phil brothers and Dom Kwok, plan to be even larger next year in Miami.
“We had some really good results, really great projects,” the duo told Coindesk in an interview recently. More than 1,000 developers joined the event, all of which were carefully examined in advance. Applicants had to demonstrate their coding experience through their Github and LinkedIn pages, the objective was to recruit developers with a proven history. “That is why many of the projects are really outstanding this year,” said Easya’s director of Operations, Dom Kwok.
The potential prize? Millions of dollars in funds, courtesy of five blockchain networks: Aptos, Stellar, Polkadot, Bahamut and Forte.
However, the highlight of the conference was when the representatives of Universal Studios invited one of the projects (Aptop, who won the first place on the suitable track) to show what they built the universal executive team in Orlando. “That was crazy,” said Easy’s CEO, Phil Kwok.
With a community that has more than 1 million developers, Easya is one of the world’s largest and most popular web 3 -learning applications. The firm has organized more than 30 hackatones since it was founded in 2019.
The winners of Toronto Hackathon were determined by teams behind the block chain they were building. Each network had its own mission statement: Stellar’s, for example, it was “web3 UX does not have to stink. Demonstrate.” The general objective is to continue financing the winning projects for a long period of time, which means that most of the reward prize is actually distributed.
“Developers not only come to these hackatones, win prizes and then pass the next. Like many others, the goal of our hackatones is to make sure people really continue to build and add long -term value to cryptography,” said Dom Kwok.
As mentioned earlier, Aptop, a project that makes it extremely easy for users to access your wallet suitable on your phone, reached the first place on the suitable track. Stellar winner, Cyclebuddy, helps women track their menstrual cycle while winning tokens. In Polkadot, Nutanpu, an application that allows travelers to Mint NFT from the places they visit, took the crown. Bahamut, a relatively new block chain, gave the Grand Prix to Namevault, a decentralized name service similar to Ens de Ethereum domains. Finally, a protocol that aims to make Airdrop assignment softer, Gass, came first in Forte.
