Announcing the Sui Overflow Hackathon Winners
Sui's first global hackathon concludes, with 32 winners emerging from 352 project submissions.
Over the course of eight weeks, 32 winners emerged from a stellar cohort of 352 project submissions in the Sui Overflow Hackathon. The winners scored first, second, and third place in the hackathon's eight tracks, with two third-place winners in each track.
As our first global hackathon, Sui Overflow gave builders a chance to show off their innovative ideas and their Move programming skills, building projects that ranged from developer tools to games. The eight specific tracks fell into two broad categories, Technology and Product. Sui Overflow began on April 21, and ran until June 21, with competitors showing off their projects to 47 judges during Demo Days over the weekend of June 15. Our judges included domain experts, investors and established builders.
The Sui community also handed out 10 Community Favorite Awards through online voting. Additional awards included 10 winners from university teams, which puts the focus on student builders, and awards given out by Sui ecosystem projects.
Project submissions came from 79 countries, with top representation from India, China, Nigeria, Vietnam, and the United States. Team members ranged from students to experienced blockchain builders, with many having experience on Solana, Polygon, and EVM-based chains. The judges shortlisted 65 projects, from which the track winners were selected.
Thanks go to our title sponsor dWallet, track sponsors Comma3 Ventures, Wormhole, and AngelHack, and our prize and award sponsors GSR, Supra, Alibaba Cloud, ZettaBlock, Movebit, e^win, Scallop, Pyth, Ryze Labs, and NAVI.
