Building an Open and Diverse Application Ecosystem, PlatON's Online Hackathon Rounded off
SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, the PlatON Grant Hackathon hosted by the privacy-preserving AI network PlatON has come to an end on DoraHacks' developer platform HackerLink.
As the network's first hackathon event since the launch of its mainnet, the PlatON Grant Hackathon represents PlatON's first attempt to pursue its vision of gathering global developers and building an open technology ecosystem. As PlatON started the application process of the event, we have felt the great enthusiasm of community developers for technology and applications. To demonstrate their technical prowess, nearly a hundred tech teams from Asia, Europe, North America, Africa, and Oceania applied for the PlatON Grant Hackathon.
The most exciting part of this hackathon is not only the number of participating teams, but also the quality of the projects. We have been repeatedly amazed by the constant inspirations from developers and the new value they created for the digital world. Apart from the close connection with PlatON's underlying technologies, these outstanding teams and projects have also developed a profound friendship with the PlatON team. Growing on the PlatON privacy-preserving network, developers around the world launched their projects and bore fruits. By integrating their applications with PlatON's underlying technologies, developers have brought more diversity to the application ecosystem of PlatON and its meta network Alaya, thereby facilitating the thriving, sound, and secure growth of its tech ecosystem.
At the same time, the participating teams also received different rewards from the hackathon. The 31 participating teams from around the world submitted project applications through DoraHacks' open source developer platform HackerLink and received a total ATP funding of $71,200, including the $17,800 ATP quadratic prize pool, the $35,600 judge prize pool, and ATP community donations of $17,800. In addition, eight outstanding projects qualified in the screening process and received votes from the judges.
