Important explanations:
- Considering the passing score and different perspectives from several judges, it was decided to select one winner from the DAO track.
- There are four projects that have not been classified during the preliminary round. They were divided into the corresponding track according to the opinions of the judges.
- About the Sponsor Grants from Cradles, NEO, Klyayth, and Multiverse, the Metaverse Alliance team will communicate closely with sponsors and help sponsors connect with selected projects which deploy on their ecosystem. Sponsors have the right to choose projects to grant and reserve the right not to reward any project.
None of this would have been possible without the advice and support of partners and participants, who spent time before the hackathon curating the challenges and ironing out the submission and evaluation process.
The support of the partners is appreciated, for believing in the potential of Metaverse Alliance and for spreading the word to make miracles happen. Metaverse Alliance looks forward to hosting the next global hackathon in 2022. A big thank you goes out to everyone that participated and thanks again to the judges for taking the time out of their busy schedules to review projects.
Lastly, appreciate Spring Wind Venture for sponsoring a $100,000 prize to be awarded to the winners. SWV aims to support early-stage projects and accelerate innovation in the Metaverse.
