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.
