Web3athon 2022 | Winners

Thank you all for all your hard work. We are delighted to announce the Web3athon Winners!

Link to this page: **https://bit.ly/web3athon22winners**

There are a total of 32 winners on 13 chains.

Below is a list of the chain and prize level the project team placed.

Web3athon Standouts

CRADL and CoinDesk created a category called Web3athon Standouts. We selected the top 15 projects based on submissions and judging feedback. We wanted to highlight projects that truly hit on all the Web3athon requirements and blew the judges away, but may not have made it as a winner due to the high degree of competitiveness of some chains.

FAQs

I’m a winner — now what?

Sponsors will be reaching out to the team lead directly to get your wallet information. HackerEarth is not involved in distributing funds, either to the team leader, or dividing the funds among attendees.
I’m not a winner — now what?

Thank you so much for participating in Web3athon! Check the list to see what other opportunities for funding your sponsors have.

Other than that, keep checking the HackerEarth website for more hackathon opportunities in the future! And stay tuned to learn about Web3athon 2023.
Why do some sponsors have fewer than three prizes?

Some sponsors had more eligible submissions than others. Not all sponsors received 3 eligible submissions. Submissions that did not meet the submission guidelines were not eligible to win.
I have questions, where should I go?

Create a ticket in the #create-ticket channel in Discord. The HackerEarth team will respond to you shortly!
Where are my other special prizes ($DESK, T-shirt, etc.)

You should have already received your $DESK. If you didn’t, create a ticket. $DESK was only issued for participating in the workshops in July, you have already received an email if you were eligible to receive $DESK.

HackerEarth will reach out to folks who won other special prizes directly via email.

How it works

Web3athon has two stages. In Stage 1: Join, you’ll dive deep into research to understand how our hyperlocal themes impact your communities. In Stage 2: Prototype, a select set of groups will receive hands-on support from the chains to turn their vision into reality.

Stage 1 - Join

June 9 – 11 Join us at Consensus online or in Austin, Texas

August 7 Submit ideas for Judging

Stage 2 - Prototype

August 17 Shortlist Announced
August 17 - September 19 Make it real
September 20 - Submit your Build by 1:29 pm CT on Tuesday September 20th.

What do you submit in each stage?

STAGE ONE Explore the 5 Web3athon challenges, research ideas, and submit an idea that responds to one of the challenges and will use one of the sponsor’s technologies.

STAGE TWO - Find out which of your ideas have been shortlisted, and use that sponsor’s technology to build out your MVP.

City of Austin

In line with the hyperlocal theme, Web3athon is leaning into the fact that Consensus is taking place in Austin, Texas. Austin’s Office of Innovation will be providing links to local datasets that local teams can use directly, and remote teams can use as inspiration for finding useful data in their own cities.
