This season of the TRON Grand Hackathon has been quite a blast! We would like to thank all those who have participated from projects, developers, voters, active forum members, and voices!
We would also like to thank our judges from across the industry and among universities who took the time out of their busy schedules to go over 200+ down-selected submissions. That is no small task!
In this hackathon, we have tried our best to make the community voting as fair as possible. Although it is obvious that vote buying is not allowed from the practice we had in Hackathon season 1, we made an attempt to emphasize our view, as well as the community’s view again on vote buying during the voting stage. We dis-allowed vote buying as it goes against a fair and honest vote. We have battled against thousands of bots and removed duplicate/spam voting. To all those who voiced up and flagged bad posts, our moderation and hackathon forensic team can’t thank you enough. Every little bit helps.
Season 2 has been a much bigger success than season 1 with more participants, community topic engagement on this forum, inviting others from outside of TRON, and attracting an overall larger community. We will continue to improve upon each and every hackathon and for season 3, we already have a few revisions in the pipeline, mostly from the wonderful community feedback we received. So, stay tuned!
We encourage everyone to please leave feedback about your experience with TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 Season 2, whether it be good or bad. We will read every single community response and take it into account to further improve for season 3.
Remember, it is you, the community, that makes TRON DAO great! Thank you.
And now, the moment that you have been waiting for… …
Congratulations to our judges-selected winners!
These projects have been judged by multiple criteria such as their originality & creativity, technicality & design, business model & feasibility, usability, practicality and their contribution to the crypto ecosystem.
Without further ado, the 5 judges-selected hackathon winners and 3 runner-ups for each category are:
We also have 3 bonus hackathon prizes to give out.

Bonus: Potential Project Prize $5,000 - Determined by the TRON DAO team based on a project’s potential value. Awarded to a project that did not win another prize.
Bonus: TRON Ecosystem Prize $5,000 - Determined by the TRON DAO team based on a project’s valuable contribution to the TRON Ecosystem. Awarded to a project that did not win another prize.
And, we also have our Forum hackathon winners, selected by you!
Congratulations to our community-selected winners!
These projects have been selected by community members on the TRON DAO Forum. Please note that the list may not be an accurate representation of the existing poll outcome. If a project had too much spam voting that passes a certain threshold, or if they still think that vote buying practice is correct even after warnings, they were disqualified and will not be able to join the next hackathon as well. The results listed here are final after removing spam/duplicate votes and penalty points added to the final voting score calculation.
And there we have it, the 5 community-selected hackathon winners and 3 runner-ups for each category are:
Once again, congrats to all Hackathon winners and runner-ups, and also participants of the TRON Grand Hackathon. You all did exceptionally well! TronLive will be announcing the winners of the community contributor prizes next. We would also like to thank all forum community contributors that voiced out and help keep the forum active and organized!
We sure had some interesting discussions going on there and it was nice seeing many similar or even different perspectives on the topics that we had. We had a great time with you
So, 10 community members were selected, and it is not merely from commenters within the above-mentioned post but from posts throughout the TRON DAO Forum as well. Data such as the number of activeness of the user, the number of useful reports, the average number of likes per post, the value of their posts, and the help given to others are all compiled to reach this conclusion. Please be reminded that these prizes are awarded to individuals that are not the owner/co-owner of a hackathon winning project. In fact, the majority of them didn’t even have a hackathon S2 project here.
We would like to thank these 10 individual’s valuable contributions during the hackathon
Finally, congrats to all Hackathon winners and runner-ups! And thank you TRON DAO for hosting this amazing TRON Grand Hackathon. We look forward to seeing all of you again in Season 3!
Congratulations to all winners! This has been a great season 2 Hackathon and am looking forward to future ones that will allow devs to showcase their talents!
Nice to see a big difference between the community vote winners and the judge vote winners Means that the judges did their job and not just looked at the forum to see which projects had the most votes
