$285K USD Awarded to Sui x KuCoin Labs Hackathon Winners

Thirty teams have been awarded a prize for their participation in Sui x KuCoin Labs Summer Hackathon. Projects were submitted between May 29 and July 5, with a final demo day of shortlisted projects on July 19th in Paris. Demoing teams had seven minutes to present their projects and answer questions, in person or virtually, to a panel of judges as well as the assembled Sui community. A portion of the presentations are available to watch on YouTube.

Winning projects are either new projects on Sui or established projects that have implemented a well-defined new feature or redesign within the hackathon period. Features implemented before the hackathon period were not considered during judging.
