2 winners and 4 honorable mentions for @SuperteamBLKN at the @Colosseum Frontier hackathon!
๐ Winners:
@JKIndex_ : A TCG marketplace and platform for collector-driven pricing, grading, and market intelligence.
@NomuStores: A crypto-enabled platform that provides physical supply chain out of the box. Sourcing, manufacturing, QA, warehousing, global fulfillment, tax, payouts, and support all under one roof.
๐ Honorable mentions:
@JurassicFi tokenizes authenticated dinosaur fossil specimens, fractionalizes ownership onchain with legally enforceable rights via @MetaDAOProject, opening a historically closed market to a new class of investors.
@hobba_io is a prime broker for onchain loans. Users deposit collateral like cbBTC or SOL, borrow USDC against it, and the yield generated by their collateral automatically pays down the loan in the background, often resulting in a negative net borrow rate.
@ARETE_A4 Vercel for @Solana@ridemarkets is an onchain prop firm built on futarchy.
We've loved every second of building with you, and we're already looking forward to the next hackathon szn.
The job's not done after the winners are announced. If you're a founder from the Balkan region, hit us up anytime. ๐
Whether you won, placed, took part or just followed along with the Frontier Hackathon. You are likely better for it.
Learnt a bunch on this one and it ultimately made @ARETE_A4 better. Heads down and grind on.
Super proud of my comrades @hungrytrtl@vimmotion5 at @ARETE_A4 with the honorable
mention from @colosseum !
And, a big shoutout to @SuperteamBLKN@JosipVolarevic2@matija_sol - big hearts and big brains gg.
Congrats to all the winners! Hackathon season is tough so great to see hard work paying off for the winners.
We are over the moon with the honorable mention for Arete. We keep grinding
Huge congrats to everyone who competed in one of the biggest hackathons in tech history: 10,000+ builders from 150+ countries and 2,857 projects.
@Superteam chapters around the globe claimed 16 of 25 prizes, proving once again to be the biggest cheat code for early-stage startups on @Solana
Warms my heart to count both @JKIndex_ and @NomuStores among Frontier winners!!!
@Groovy_HQ is a TCG visionary and a gentleman, joining us for the first time this @colosseum cycle, and very quickly becoming an integral part of our community. Very excited to see where he takes JK.
As far as @danieldelophem, our friendship started all the way back at Startup Village Croatia, where he took 2nd place at Demo Day over a year ago. A true Founder with a capital F, not afraid to pivot when needed, and always delivering.
Statistically, he's probably supplying your @SolanaEvents merch this year
We've also had quite a few in the honourable mentions, namely @hobba_io, @ARETE_A4, @JurassicFi and @ridemarkets.
All great successes and great founders that may as well have won as far as we're concerned.
Truly proud of our teams, our region, and our founders, showing what @SuperteamBLKN is made of, cycle after cycle.
Keep rising by lifting others.

We had @matija_sol cook up some tricky questions for other @superteam leads and got answers we're genuinely nervous to share.
Hopefully not our last post...
.@Solflare is the most powerful wallet on Solana. A self-custody debit card, graded trading cards, tokenized stocks, all in one app, and that's just part of it.
@callahan_dks, Head of Global Key Accounts at Solflare, is joining us to talk about everything they're building and what comes next.

Well it's not a thing of being more aggressive. Three key components are attention, intensity and intent which go down when players get more tired.
Having everyone "fresh" equates to less mistakes being made and less chances conceded in matches where teams are equally good.
Personally I don't find games where everyone is perfect entertaining, it's about a defender making a mistake in the last minute and attacker who just ran for 120 minutes going 1v1 against 2m tall goalkeeper to take his small country to historic penalty shoot-out.
