On June 5, 2023, the four-week BNB Chain Zero2Hero Hackathon concluded, with a total prize pool of $200,000 for the winners. Over 2,600 developers, product managers, UI/UX designers, and others gathered to compete in seven fields: Greenfield, NFT, Gamify & Metaverse, SocialFi, Infra, DeFi, Innovation, and Cross-chain.

Ultimately, 18 projects stood out, with the first-place winners in each track automatically advancing to the next stage of the incubator. This article provides a brief introduction to these 18 award-winning projects.

Greenfield

First Place: Origami

Origami is a comprehensive platform for 3D enthusiasts, providing secure Capsule storage for 3D objects and utilizing blockchain to protect assets. Creators can share and collaborate through Capsule, inspiring creativity and innovation. Additionally, Origami has good market depth and liquidity, allowing creators and collectors to trade digital assets.

Second Place: LOYO

LOYO is a loyalty program infrastructure that helps businesses reduce costs in establishing loyalty program frameworks while using decentralized open data on Greenfield. Unlike traditional loyalty programs, LOYO does not require users to provide personal data to earn rewards, effectively protecting individual privacy.

Third Place: Relation Graph

Relation-Graph is a decentralized social graph deployed on the BNB Chain, inheriting the Relation Protocol. It creates a blockchain-native data layer through SBT and standard data formats, allowing developers to build decentralized social graphs on the blockchain. Any developer can create functions and data types in its social layer while allowing users to retain their social relationships and content on social networks without worrying about changes at the application layer.

DeFi

First Place: Metavisor

Metavisor is a liquidity optimization and automation platform for cross-chain liquidity supply and management. The platform helps automate and optimize liquidity, keeping it within a certain range for corresponding yields and achieving liquidity self-balancing when necessary, enhancing capital efficiency and high returns.

Second Place: Derivable

Derivable proposes a perpetual contract AMM derived from a new type of derivative pricing curve, allowing anyone to create perpetual liquidity pools for any asset without liquidation risk or collateral shortfall risk. Anyone can participate as a liquidity provider or long/short trader. Similar to Uniswap, Sushiswap, or PancakeSwap, Derivable can run on any Layer 1 mainnet like Ethereum, fully automated, decentralized, and permissionless.

Third Place: [Rivera Money](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Rivera Money?k=ODE0MA==)

Rivera Money is a permissionless protocol capable of building structured products on Uniswap V3, allowing users to personalize risks associated with adding liquidity to centralized liquidity pools, enabling liquidity providers with different risk profiles to easily participate in liquidity provision.

Infrastructure

First Place: BNB Point

BNB Point is a mobile-first wallet and withdrawal solution. It combines TradFi with Web3 through Rapyd, making finance more inclusive in Mexico and Latin America. With the Rapyd API, BNB Point can manage users, checkout, exchange, and application KYC. The exchange feature allows users to coordinate fiat and cryptocurrency services, converting cryptocurrencies into USD.

Second Place: Hashleap

Hashleap is a Web3 payment and financial management DApp. During the hackathon, the team built on the BNB Chain and added several improvements, including an upgradable payment transfer smart contract (which can store important information about transactions on-chain), a subscription smart contract, and a contract that can perform cross-chain transfers using Axelar.

Third Place: Defi Terminal

Defi Terminal aims to democratize institutional risk management. It manages DeFi portfolio risks in three ways: monitoring contracts and user interfaces to ensure there are no smart contract risks, monitoring transactions of liquidity pools or DApps, and monitoring traffic and prices. Its goal is to become a customized DefiLlama.

SocialFi

First Place: Cratch

Cratch is a decentralized live streaming and video streaming platform that allows users to create or watch live streams on mobile, web, and in the metaverse, rewarding them for their viewing time. The team is addressing related issues in video sharing and live streaming, such as censorship, data collection, and targeted advertising.

Second Place: CollabY

CollabY is a decentralized influencer DApp that connects brands with influencers for collaborations on social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter. The DApp simplifies the complex collaboration process between influencers and brands, eliminating uncertainties regarding influencer quality, audience relevance, and smooth cooperation, while ensuring fair compensation for influencers.

Third Place: DeCheck

DeCheck is building a decentralized community and DAO for auditing and reviewing crypto projects. DeCheck aims to promote a more transparent and healthy cryptocurrency development by combining token contract code audits with manual reviews.

NFT, Gamify & Metaverse

First Place: Plearnyx

Plearnyx aims to gamify the learning experience, motivating people to actively participate to earn SBT-based reputation and cryptocurrency rewards. As a browser game for coding competitions, its mission is to attract, evaluate, and onboard new software developers into the BNB or other partner ecosystems. Plearnyx will also introduce early educational mechanisms through quizzes and rewards.

Second Place: The Project Napoléon

The Project Napoléon uses ERC-2535 Diamond to develop an enhanced version of ERC-3525 SFT, allowing users to inspect SFTs, participate in merging and splitting SFTs, DeFi staking, and more, while ensuring that tokens related to JSON and image files are stored in different spaces within Greenfield. The model it creates should be used in the bond market to merge and split properties related to bonds, thus addressing some bond-related issues.

Third Place: NFKey

The NFKey team is developing a cutting-edge security lock system by integrating smart locks and Web3 technology, initially integrating Nuki smart locks. In the future, the team plans to expand its integration scope to support a wider range of smart locks, providing users with more options.

Innovation

First Place: Termix

TermiX is an AI-based one-stop Web3 interaction terminal aimed at making users' on-chain operations simpler, more efficient, and secure. Termix has designed a large language model specifically for Web3 and features an open plugin marketplace similar to OpenAI, allowing any protocol and application to quickly integrate into the ecosystem.

Second Place: [Crypto Mayhem](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Crypto Mayhem?k=ODE0NQ==)

Crypto Mayhem aims to combine Multiverse to solve the problem of different types of players coexisting in the same ecosystem. In the initial phase, Crypto Mayhem hopes to merge Grand Strategy and Top-Down Shooter game types. In the future, it plans to produce more games while developing existing ones.

Cross-chain

First Place: Defi Terminal

This project is the same as the third place in the infrastructure track.

Second Place: [B4B](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/B4B WORLD?k=MTc5OQ==)

B4B is an on-chain marketplace that connects advertisers with Web3 KOLs for paid promotions globally. B4B has a dual-token reputation system that incentivizes KOL activities and their long-term participation. KOLs receive additional rewards based on their reputation on the B4B platform and can withdraw earnings in USDC. During the hackathon, the project supported cross-chain through Axelar.
