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

From the total calculations made we had 145 people who registered and attended the kano Hacknode with each sent 1 NEAR token to explore the near blockchain with tens streaming it live on that day.

Currently two popular crypto blogging sites made a recap of the event and the event drew the local media.

The event was also graced by one of Nearprotocol software engineer Miraculous owonubi who gave a short speech about career opportunities available on NEAR as a developer.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the updates. Looks really great! As you have more details on the actual projects from hacknode participants, please do share it here.

@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.
