Solana Season Hackathon Taiwan | 01. Application Guidance
About the Hackathon
Starting April 28th, Solana Foundation, together with Serum and Raydium, opened up registration for the Solana Season Hackathon Asia on HackerLink.io, the DoraHacks developer platform. And the regional Solana Hackathon Taiwan track is rolling on May 27th as well.
The participants are encouraged to build infrastructure on Solana blockchain or any tool they believe will implement development on the Solana ecosystem, no matter De-Fi (decentralized finance), NFT (non-fungible token), or Web3 related, any innovative dApps. Hackathon grants rich prizes and the series workshop support.
The prize pool of the Hackathon totals up to $1 million in prizes and seed funding:
$50,000 will be distributed to participating teams by Solana community voters via the Hackerlink platform’s quadratic voting grant. $75,000 will be granted from hackathon judges that motivate outstanding projects in Solana Hackathon. The rest of the $1 million prize will be seed funding, prepared for the promising teams selected by Solana Foundation and the judges to further develop in the Solana ecosystem.
Take a look at this list of hackathon project ideas.
Throughout the registration period and hackathon, there will be live stream presentations, workshops, and open discussions on a variety of crypto-related topics. The goal is to help jumpstart your Solana experience and provide you with maximum technical guidance!
