We are super excited to announce the winners of [#thirdwebhackathon](https://hashnode.com/n/thirdwebhackathon). Several projects were built using [thirdweb](https://thirdweb.com/?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hashnode_hackathon)'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!
