Xircus Web3 Protocol’s Manila Hackathon Was a Big Success!
The Manila air was electric with excitement as the Xircus Web3 Protocol team, in collaboration with Draper Startup House, hosted their first hackathon. The event brought together a diverse group of developers, designers, and enthusiasts who were eager to explore the possibilities of Web3 technology.
At Xircus Web3 Protocol, we are passionate about empowering everyone to dive into the world of Web3 without the need for technical expertise. With our digital expansion of NFTs and smart contracts, we offer many innovative opportunities such as gamification, identity management, social tokenization, decentralized finance, digital art, supply chain management, collectibles, real estate, digital identity, and intellectual property protection.
The Xircus Hackathon format
The hackathon was a celebration of creativity and innovation. The Attendees used Xircus Web3 tool to bring their long-awaited ideas to life. It was a fun, in-person, 2-day affair that was buzzing with energy and collaboration. Participants explored our Web3 platform and had the opportunity to network and collaborate with like-minded individuals.
Earlier this year, we announced our plans to introduce a novel hackathon format that welcomes not only developers but also entrepreneurs, designers, and builders to participate.
Thanks to our highly flexible product, which supports low-code and no-code web3 development, we can appeal to a broad range of participants.
With our platform, entrepreneurs can quickly validate their ideas by creating a minimum viable product (MVP), while developers can innovate and provide value to others using our Xircus platform.
Designers can also contribute by creating visually appealing skin designs that can be sold as NFTs to dApps owners who run marketplaces on Xircus. If you want to learn more about our hackathon format, check out our previous article here and here.
The Xircus Web3 Protocol hackathon showcased the immense potential of Web3 technology, with impressive projects taking the top three spots.
Four judges, including Falco Pangkey, Erik de Groot from Xircus, Renz Chong CEO from Breeder DAO, and Nicco Viray CEO of VC firm Innovative Impact Ventures, rated the ideas and projects for launching and building on Xircus.
