Hi Dami,

Thank you for putting this together. Glad that you were able to pull off the hack node in short time.

Couple of questions:

  • How many people ended up coming to the event?
  • Are there any photos/videos etc from the event that you can share with us?
  • Do you have a rough sense of how many projects we can expect from the hacknode participants?

Everything is available and will be posted once all data are available

@damboy22 This is great! I was unfortunately not able to attend (virtually) because I’ve been pretty busy with a couple of NEAR projects. I’ll DM you so we can set a time to talk.
