Original Title: "Review of the 20 Projects Finalists in the Canto Hackathon S5"

Author: Shiwen, Odaily Planet Daily

Canto is a DeFi public chain built on the Cosmos SDK, which already has some DeFi infrastructure, such as DEXs, lending protocols, and stablecoins (see "A Comprehensive Guide to Noteworthy Projects on Canto"). Canto does not have an official foundation, no pre-sale, no equity ownership, and no venture capitalists. However, the community is enthusiastic about hosting online hackathons, making the ecosystem relatively active.

The Canto Season 5 online hackathon started on February 1 and ended on February 19 for submissions. Teams are making their final push to contribute more applications and infrastructure to the Canto ecosystem. Next, Odaily Planet Daily will introduce the 20 projects that made it to the finals of this hackathon.
