From May 31 to June 30, developers from around the world worked on projects in payments, commerce, creator tools, social platforms, gaming, trading, discovery, and URL < > IRL use cases.
Over 1,250 projects were submitted by more than 7,500 developers globally, making it the largest on-chain hackathon ever.
The number and creativity of the submissions exceeded expectations, so we increased the prize pool from 200 ETH to 250 ETH to recognize and reward more developers building outstanding products on Base.
