Lasting for two months, the Metaverse online hackathon co-hosted by Metaverse Alliance and LD Capital, named "Metathon," concluded successfully on January 22, 2022. We received over 100 projects from nearly 280 developers from 13 different countries. After two rounds of preliminary and final evaluations, 22 outstanding developer teams stood out.
To ensure the professionalism and fairness of this online hackathon, we invited 36 industry-leading judges who are influential professionals in the field. They come from top funds such as Republic, Delphi Digital, Binance Labs, LD Capital, YGG, HashKey Capital, Huobi Ventures, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, KuCoin Labs, DHVC, SpringWind Venture, NGC, Kardiachain, MEXC Pioneer, etc.; top public chains such as Solana, Flow, Neo, Klaytn, etc.; and top projects in the Metaverse space such as Illuvium, Bigtime, Mask Network, Impossible Finance, Chain IDE, etc.
During the Metathon evaluation process, each professional judge scored a random selection of ten final projects based on six evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria include project growth potential, functionality, innovation, feasibility, design quality, and technical completeness and complexity. Each project was scored by at least five judges, and the top three projects with the highest average score in each track were awarded.
