BUIDL the Future (Coinbase) Hackathon: Project Updates & Judging

Overview

XDC Community in association with XDC Foundation and XinFin entered to be part of the “BUIDL the Future” hackathon hosted by two web3 power houses: Coinbase and HackerEarth. The focus of the hackathon was to rally the global web3 developer community behind innovative projects for the next generation of crypto users. Total price pool for developers is up to $50,000 USD (in equivalent XDC).

Spanning from October 16, 2022 to January 09, 2023 there were 5000+ participants and over 200 projects submitted by developers for the opportunity to win bounties / awards from Polygon, Klaytn, Unstoppable Domains, Lbank, and XDC Network.

The XDC Network had a great turnout and received 44 submissions (Polygon had 68). Submissions were evaluated for minimum requirements and the project pool was reduced to 25 for official judging.
