Congratulations to the @TuruGlobal Team @Fuzzy-Ocean and the the rest of the good projects that won on S3 Grand hackathon, I really hope that this will help and foster more zeal to the teams to build more, and utilize the Tron ecosystem
I wish you all the best
Congratulations once again
As opposed to analytical questions I asked before, now Iād be glad to hear feedback from other participants regarding results, especially regarding Web3 track submissions. It feels sort of synthetic that there is zero overlap between community choice and judging results. I cannot believe that all the voters are so far from objective grading, so that judges consider all top-ranked projects less valuable and technically attractive then something with lower scores. Iām really disappointed that TronHub has not won any judging prize, imo it should occupy top-3 at least (actually this is the main reason for me to write this claim).
I donāt try to underestimate winnersā achievements, though: say, OpenATM is a really exciting thing and I agree it deserves its place.
These results make me think that projects beloved by the community were in weaker positions then those outside of top-5. This looks like an attempt to reward as many projects as possible, which is extremely unfair given that minimal ānormalā prize is twice larger the maximal community prize. Judges can always call this situation a coincidence, but it looks fairly improbable for me.
This doesnāt hold e.g. for GameFI track, where prizes overlap (probably due to small submissions amount), or for DeFi track (less overlaps, but they still exist - difficult to estimate the percentage due to complete absence of submitted vs eligible vs winner projects info in some centralized format).
So, hereās my question: are you satisfied with overall results? Do you consider such distinction fair?
I also owe somebody here a post regarding things I discovered during the hackathon which make me consider Tron⦠well, at least not the best platform for further development - sorry for the delay, Iāll begin writing it now:)
I completely understand your frustration: we won 2 times in a row the DeFi community prize with WARP and T-Boost (this time with 3 times the votes of the second most voted project) and never got in the judges short list. Do we like it? No, but thereās not much we can do about it. This discussion came out after S2 results were published and we got some answers from the DAO. Some things were changed in S3 following some of our advices, but unfortunately the judges opinion about our kind of projects did not.
But itās not something that changes our plans for the future of the project. We have our roadmap, our ideas for new features to be developed and weāll build them anyway. Participating in the hackathon is something that can help us move forward a bit faster (with one of Devpost prizes, more than a bit faster Iād say), but not winning it will not stop us. We see the hackathon as an opportunity for which we thank TronDAO and @admin.hackathon.
Hmm in S2 it was odd because then it was literally ZERO overlap between judge and community prizes, but I donāt know if you can really make the case for it being significant in S3 because now there is a fair amount of overlap
There is only one project in Nft and one on Defi that were awarded both by community and the judges. Iām not counting GameFi because the 5 eligible projects won on both sides.
Hopefully we do get to qualify next season when we put everything in place and meetup to the rules, but either ways we keep building because we are in for the long ride and building very useful solutions which will help make life better for our users
Weāre gearing up for the launch of our extension weād like to invite some of you to test our product. Our goal is to improve & fix any bugs before putting it up on the Google Web Store and making it available to the general public.
Yeah very competitive as compared to S4, many projects are short listed in this season unlike season 4 which makes it more difficult to select the winners.
