Hackathon management, participants and projects

The administrative and technical management of the hackathon was carried out in Devpost. A platform that helps software engineers (developers) to participate in hackathon-style software competitions. Here the participants make their creations and tools visible to the Devpost community and the world. In this way, anyone interested in monitoring what was created on March 6 and 8 at the Open Web House Guadalajara, can enter the link https://open-web-house-gdl.devpost.com/project-gallery and see the details of all the projects created, as well as the participants of each team and the profiles they have.

NEAR Challenge :motorway:

Introduction

NEAR Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses Nightshade, a unique sharding technology, for scalability. It is a platform for builders by offering one of the best smart contract development experiences, using Javascript or RUST. With NEAR you can:

  • Deploy smart contracts as fungible tokens, NFTs, DeFi or something else.
  • Transfer tokens between accounts, either $NEAR or a fungible token.
  • Transfer tokens using the Ethereum rainbow bridge <> NEAR <> Aurora
  • Set up validator nodes for your Proof of Stake system
  • Introduce new users easily to the world of Web 3.

Expected solution:
A decentralized application that runs on NEAR Protocol in its layer-1 and with high added value to its users.

Meta Pool Challenge :motorway:

Introduction

Meta Pool is a community-focused open source project, maintained by a core team that is releasing updates and new products to the Web 3 ecosystem.

This program seeks to support Open Web House participants in discovering innovative ways to integrate the liquid Meta Pool token, $stNEAR, and existing Meta Pool services within the NEAR and Aurora ecosystem.

Expected solution

Create a solution that integrates the $stNEAR token, or any other Meta Pool service, using it as a value proposition.

Aurora Challenge :motorway:

Introduction

Aurora Network is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built on top of the NEAR Protocol infrastructure. With Aurora you can:

  • Transfer your tokens between Ethereum <> NEAR <> AURORA
  • Deploy smart contracts made in Solidity with the same experience as in Ethereum.
  • Use wallets known as Meta Mask.
  • Pay low transaction costs.
  • Using the aurora.plus platform you get 50 free transactions per month

Expected solution

A decentralized application that runs on the Aurora network and with high added value to its users.

NFT experience by Nativo NFT

In this report it is also important to thank Nativo NFT for their presence at the Open Web House event in Guadalajara. His participation in the event and his presentation on the technology of non-fungible tokens, was extremely informative and inspiring for all attendees.

Additionally, the NFT gallery they featured at the event was an impressive demonstration of blockchain technology’s ability to transform the world of digital art and intellectual property. The NFTs featured in the gallery were impressive and reflected the passion and talent of the artists who created them.

This is probably one of the best Reports I’ve seen - amazing structure and depth. It reads very easily with a clear story arc, showing only what matters and demonstrating value generated along the way. SOLID.

Keep up the good work - looking forward to the next hacker house!
