I was expecting this kind of proposal sooner or later, to exclude the previous winners from the competition. I think we need to be more open minded and look at facts from a wider angle. Let’s consider for a moment the current voting results as final (won’t be probably).
Web3 track:
- Tronhub (the team was awarded in past edition)
- dCloud (the team was awarded in past edition)
- Oracula (new)
- Web3-schedule (new)
- TsTron (new)
DeFi track:
- T-Boost (the team was awarded in past edition)
- Synergy (new)
- Inheritokens (new)
- TronZ bank (new)
- Unlimited Oracle (new)
GameFi track:
- Turuverese (the team was awarded in past edition)
- Trxmini (new)
- Zombieland (new)
- Mushroom (new)
- Zombax (new)
NFT track:
- Fuzzy ocean (new)
- PalmT (the team was awarded in past edition)
- Fraction (new)
- Lazara (new)
- TBlocks (new)
Academy track
- all new
Ecosystem track
- all new
So, out of all winners, only 4 actually have been awarded in previous editions (if I made mistakes, please correct me). This means that the competition is open to newcomers. Limiting the established teams to the role of developing partners is wrong in my opinion. If the established projects win is because they keep delivering.
One example: TURU. Have you seen what they are doing with the Turuverse? Should we kepp them out of the next hackathon? I don’t think so. I want to see more good stuff from them and I think the DAO should support them to do more.
