The Easy-A hackathon kicked off in London on Saturday April 18th and was oversubscribed by 4x.
Iberlabs, the Polkadot BD Team for Spain and Andorra, is seeking 144.52K USDT to fund twelve months of continued operations. In that time it hopes to secure at least 2 government or enterprise integrations, collaborate more deeply with its strategic partners, attend and speak at key events, and convert numerous leads already generated in early 2025.
Let’s congratulate our winners from New and Existing project streams of the Easy-A Harvard Polkadot Hackathon. First-place winners ($5K) were Mosh, a decentralized ticketing platform, and Tippin’ Dots, a social-media tipping protocol that utilizes verified DIDs. In second place ($3K), a platform for decentralized gambling called Scratch-off, and PolkaFarm, a yield-farming dApp for Polkadot Asset Hub. Third place ($1K) went to EscroDot, which facilitates escrow payments for AI agent services, and MergeDot, a platform for incentivizing open-source development contributors.
In Polkadot Referendum 1542 Hydration requests 5M DOT for liquidity incentives over a 12-month period. To capitalize on increased demand in the DeFI space, stablecoins USDC, USDT, and HOLLAR would receive 2M DOT of incentives. To attract more liquidity from outside of the ecosystem, 2M DOT would go towards incentivizing high-volume Snowbridge assets, such as ETH and tBTC. Finally, to continue the traction built with its launch, 1M DOT would be allocated to incentivize GIGADOT.
