Innovative Sui Projects Take Home Prizes at CoinDCX’s Unfold 2023 Hackathon

Last week in Bengaluru, India, over 2,500 people gathered for Unfold 2023, a comprehensive Web3 event organized by CoinDCX. As part of the three day flurry of panels, parties, and discussion, a multi-chain hackathon, sponsored in part by Sui, was conducted. All teams, no matter what network they built on, were eligible for the overall grand prize, while each network offered specific bounties that came with additional prize offerings.

Sui Network’s bounties were:

• Network Effect: Teams were tasked with building a social, NFT, or gaming application designed for virality. 
  • Bonus points were awarded to teams that incorporated Kiosk or zkLogin.
• City of Coin: Teams were tasked with building a commerce or DeFi application.
  • Bonus points were awarded to teams that incorporated Kiosk or Deepbook.

Sui experts were on hand to teach developers about the Sui Network and its unique features, including zkLogin, and provide guidance and mentorship to the competing teams. 

Check out the 10 projects that won Sui Network bounties below!
