Hackathon Summary
Ideahackers Guide to IBC is an Interchain creative competition that aims to encourage innovative cross-chain concepts. The event registered 136 projects and attracted 319 developers and non-technical personnel to participate. Unlike traditional Hackathons, this creative competition requires participants to submit conceptual ideas rather than code or product prototypes, which lowers the threshold for participation and encourages wider participation.
The ideation competition gave away a $30,000 prize pool in ATOM tokens and an all-expenses-paid trip to Istanbul to reward the most impactful ideas. Projects were selected from five tracks and judged by industry leaders from the Interchain Foundation and Osmosis Labs.
The event was designed to showcase the application of the Interchain Communication Protocol (IBC). Participants used the IBC Idea Builder to develop and submit their proposals, which demonstrated IBC features such as cross-chain accounts, cross-chain NFT transfers, and data queries. The Interchain Foundation sponsored the event to promote the understanding and use of the IBC protocol in blockchain applications, providing resources and support to the community through platforms such as Discord.
