Road to Web3 Hackathon Wraps up

Another immensely successful hackathon packed with passionate builders, developers, and creators wraps up today. Road to Web3 organized by EthGlobal in partnership with Polygon was conducted from Feb 3rd to Feb 9th. With the aim to onboard devs from Web2 to Web3, Road to Web3 featured 2000+ registrations and 300+ submissions, making it the biggest ETHGlobal hackathon to date!

The 72 hour hackathon consisted of several talks, workshops and events with some of the best speakers, mentors, and personalities within the industry. Builders were able to leverage multiple well-known protocols and tools from our sponsors Web3Auth, Covalent, Uniswap Grants Program, Moralis, Chainlink, Superfluid, and The Graph, and even compete for additional prizes.  

Participants at the hackathon, toiled their way through 3 days of intense hacking and building with 1000s of fellow hackers to build the decentralized web as they competed to stand a chance to win prizes worth $250K. We are excited to see the amount of enthusiasm from builders and quality of projects at the hackathon. Building scalable dApps has never been easier with the help of Polygon.

Kudos to everyone who ideated and built their projects in such a short span of time, we hope that the experience was enjoyable for all.
