Announcing The Privacy4Web3 Hackathon Winners
Highlighting the winners of this year's Privacy For Web3 Hackathon.
The second installment of the Privacy4Web3 (P4W3) hackathon has ended. After three months, the competition to create new applications using Sapphire or Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL) wrapped up, and the winners were announced. Selecting which projects were most deserving of the bounties was no easy task. From the entire Oasis team, a sincere thank you to all participants.
Keep reading for a full list of winners and previews of what they've built.
What is the P4W3 Hackathon?
This iteration of Privacy For Web3 was based on the idea that both crypto and AI need privacy that's customizable and easily accessible. So, this year's event encouraged developers to build novel applications with Oasis' confidential EVM, Sapphire, and the freshly launched ROFL framework. ROFL allows offchain components to communicate with the onchain realm, extending Sapphire and opening up a new world of use cases.
In total, the 2024 edition of P4W3 attracted 150+ participants.
