We are super excited to announce the winners of #thirdwebhackathon. Several projects were built using thirdweb's smart contracts, SDKs, and UI components to create NFTs, governance tokens, marketplaces, and more, in a span of 25 days (Jan 5th to Jan 31st). We are blown away by the quality and the originality of the submissions!

We can see all the hard work in your participation, and we would like to thank you for devoting your time and building a project for our thirdweb Hackathon. 🙌

All the entries were judged based on creativity, product thinking, UI/UX, quality of code, best practices, article completeness, and comprehensibility. The entries were judged one by one and manually by the thirdweb staff.
