Tronics, we’ve reached the end of an exciting journey with HackaTRON S7! We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants: project teams, developers, voters, forum members, and everyone who shared feedback. Your support and enthusiasm make all the difference to us. 
A special acknowledgment goes to our dedicated judges and partners for their time and expertise in reviewing HackaTRON S7 projects. Their contributions are invaluable and much appreciated.
This season, we made thoughtful changes to ensure a fair voting process. To prevent vote exchanges and last-minute boosts, we tried something new: results weren’t shown immediately after each vote, encouraging project teams to focus on building rather than simply “winning votes.” Our initial plan was to reveal the votes publicly at the end of community voting, but the system setup prevented any format change due to privacy settings, likely intended to safeguard the poll from alterations. We’ll continue collecting feedback to decide whether this format should carry into future seasons.
As always, we reinforced our stance against vote-buying to maintain fairness and integrity. We tackled numerous bots and removed duplicate and spam votes, thanks to the community members who reported suspicious activity. 
Let us be clear: we don’t tolerate multiple accounts created just for voting or non-legit accounts that vote without engaging in the process.
HackaTRON S7 saw a notable rise in community engagement on our forum, with constructive questions and thoughtful answers. We applaud everyone who contributed to this spirit of collaboration, helping strengthen our shared mission. The positive momentum has been inspiring. 
A reminder to all winners: HackaTRON S7 is milestone-based. If you’re a judge-selected qualifier, make sure your project goes live on the mainnet by 2024-12-03T20:00:00Z for the final prize payment. The community is excited to experience your innovations! 
X Space is set for 2024-11-20T17:00:00Z, connecting projects of interest to our VCs and sponsors and opening additional opportunities. Keep an eye out for details, and let’s continue to support our builders on TRON. Thank you to each and every one of you. 
TRON DAO’s strength is in its community, and we value your feedback—whether positive or constructive. Your insights will help us make Season 8 even better.
