I donāt know what to tell you, there is a list of judges and a list of judging criteria on the devpost. I suspect that this is how each judge worked:
click on project
check submission video
read the submission text
and if impressed by 2 and 3 then:
try out the app
judge the project by the judging criteria
What happened in the end was that some projects got more votes than some other projects, and as a result of that some projects won prizes and some did not.
So you are telling me that the community developed projects are basically worth nothing, despite all the effort spent in providing applications with real use case, trusted teams, continuous support and community building?
No Iām not saying that, I even think I voted for your project in the community vote. What Iām saying is that the judges didnāt give your project enough votes to get into top 8, in the same way that not every project got into top 8 in community vote (where you did).
Thank you for the partial answer to some of the concerns expressed here.
As a suggestion for next rounds of hackathons, from a developer point of view: be more specific with the requirements!
One little example: the presentation video on DevPost needs to be around 3 minutes. Some of the winners did a 10 minutes video. We tried to respect that limit, cutting a lot of material from the presentation, so reducing our chances to explain in full extent our project, while others simply did not bother to respect that requirement.
Thank you so much, @TronLive !!
Congratulations to all the winners! Iām really impressed with the level of skills and creativity in this season.
We are very excited that we have such an amazing community behind us, without our āHordeā, we wouldnāt be here! So first of all we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that voted for us, supported us and has been with us through this Hackathon! You are our energy and our Force!
As always, we have a lot of things cooking. The TRONBIES team are 3 very creative people that always have new ideas when it comes to development and community building. Our community also come up with many great ideas and give us feedback that we always take into consideration when we plan our next step.
We currently have a NFT staking contract on the testnet that will be done in the near future.
We are also partnering up with @TronNinjas for an epic GameFi Pinball tournament on the 30st of September - 2nd of October! Youāre all welcome to participate, by the way!
In the meantime, we are setting up our marketplace, and after that we will begin to scale our marketplace.
We have also a referral program coming up, and will slowly move into GameFi and Metaverse. There are other ideas that still are at an early stage of planning, so it is safe to say that we will not run out of things to develop and create!
We are here for the long term In not long we have our 1 year anniversary, and will definitely think of ways to celebrate this!
Youāre all welcome to continue follow our journey and get to know our awesome community on Telegram! I am proud to say that it is a safe, positive, inspiring chat to be a part of with many great tronics!! Follow the link here: Telegram: Contact @tronbies
Thank you all again, and letās keep building and inspire each other!
I think you should add a 11th winner to the community prize for @WindsOfChange92. He was always active here, one of the few Level 3 members of the forum and made the most useful thread of all S2, the recap of all participating projects (itās even referenced by the admins in the main voting thread).
We do agree with you that @WindsOfChange92 is a great asset! Actually, we donāt choose the community contributors winners, we (and probably a few other teams) were asked to submit a list of great community candidates to TRON and the recommendation lists are combined along with metrics from the backend to pick the community contributors winners.
We also really like the useful post that WindsOfChange did for the community. Hopefully we will see it again in S3!
Hey all. First of congratulations to all winners and participants, these were all amazing projects and the competition was stiff.
We truly appreciate the acknowledgement from the hackathon judges and TRON community on votes, likes and comments on Swap Station. At current, we are preparing a holistic development roadmap to take our project out of prototype and one of things that is top of our list is to get enough NFT listings to showcase before we open up the platform.
The hackathon was an amazing experience for us and we have enjoyed it and learned a whole lot. Thank you all again, letās keep building great things together!
Wow! This is a wonderful reason to celebrate!
Kattana #1
It was a great event, an awesome hackathon! Special thanks to Tron DAO, judges and everyone who participated, both projects and community members!
Kattana will continue to actively develop Tron network ecosystem
Cheers!
Good to see you here Kattana @Ilya. Maybe it is a good idea for your team to let the community know when and how they can test out Kattana? Because we know that the project submission to judges may be different than the one that is publicly available on DevPost open gallery.
With pleasure,
So, the public version for today is in an active testing stage since almost all backend work is finished.
Moreover, it is planned to go in release with 2 more huge updates of the Trading terminal, such as Terminal redesign and limit orders (for EVM networks on the first stage)
It is needed to finalize all the stuff and test it (a lot of times) it could take around 1-1.5 months from now
We are thankful to the TRON community and the entire TRON ecosystem for the appreciation and for including us among the winners of Grand Hackathon 2022.
Adshares will continue contributing and enriching the TRON ecosystem with Web3 advertising solutions by bringing real benefits to the community. The ADS (TRC20) bridge will allow users to monetize their digital spaces on any metaverse or games built on TRON. To bring a smooth and practical user experience, we will enable metaverses to operate in their native tokens.
We are glad to be a part of the TRON ecosystem and will put our mutual efforts to improve the Web 3.0 and blockchain worlds.
We are honored to be among the winners of the hackathon. Many thanks to Tron DAO, judges and all the people involved in creating such a cool event.
And of course we would like to thank the community for the comments on our project page. Umbre will continue to evolve and update with your comments and advices.
We are excited to be part of the Tron ecosystem and we are here to stay.
Awesome, thank you so much!
It was a real pleasure for our team to participate and take the challenge .
Now we are quietly proud of release the SaTT ecosystem on 2 awesome networks such BTTC and Tron chain
Hope all the users will enjoy our product.
Best regards
Geoffrey Moya and the SaTT team
