With the continuous development of Web3, the stage for technological reform has never been so diverse and exciting, and innovation has become the core driving force for the industry's advancement. On the evening of December 22, 2024, the 'HashKey Hacker House Taichu' hosted by HashKey Chain, co-hosted by MetaEra, Orbiter Finance, and Umy.com, successfully concluded. This hackathon, themed 'Web3 Applications Within Regulatory Frameworks,' attracted outstanding developers from around the world, providing a new perspective for exploring the future of blockchain.
During three days of activities, dozens of teams proposed creative and cutting-edge technical solutions, fully demonstrating the technical strength and market insight of global developers, while also establishing the image of HashKey Chain as one of innovation and trust in the global developer community.
Five Tracks: Future Technology Hotspots in the Eyes of Developers
In this hackathon, participating developers focused on five core areas of the blockchain industry through ideas and technology: DeFi, RWA, INO, payments, and cultural heritage. These tracks were not specifically set by HashKey Hacker House but were rather voluntarily chosen by developers based on industry trends and technical challenges, reflecting the current innovation directions and market hotspots in the blockchain industry. The projects presented by developers also brought many expected breakthroughs in these fields.
DeFi: A dual evolution of technology and user experience
Decentralized finance has become one of the most mature application scenarios of Web3, but as user demand grows, its technical architecture and interaction experience still need continuous optimization. The Likwid project in this hackathon focuses on liquidity management, providing users with efficient asset allocation tools; Stable Swap addresses slippage issues in stablecoin exchanges, providing solutions for multi-chain trading ecosystems. These two projects demonstrate the important trend of DeFi tracks transforming from technology-driven to user-friendly.
RWA: Bridging the future of traditional assets and blockchain
As traditional assets gradually accept blockchain technology, the RWA track has attracted much attention. The participating project Asteroidx leverages on-chain asset management tools to inject transparency into traditional financial products; Bnb3 explores innovative methods of mapping real-world assets onto the chain, allowing more people to participate in global asset circulation. They provide practical cases for the application of blockchain technology in the traditional financial sector.
INO: Making NFTs a combination of tools and experiences
NFTs are no longer just simple collectibles but are becoming more practical and valuable tool-like assets. Tiptag.social combines NFT and social attributes to provide users with innovative interaction modes; HashKeyFun brings NFTs closer to users' lives through entertainment experiences. These projects illustrate the potential of NFTs in the future: not just as a store of value but also as an experience innovation.
Payments: Opening the gateway for commercial blockchain
Payment scenarios are key to the large-scale application of blockchain technology. PolyFlow has created a multi-chain compatible payment system, providing an efficient solution for cross-chain payments; Trusta focuses on payment security, ensuring transaction transparency and trust. Together, they showcase the future blueprint of blockchain payments.
Cultural Heritage: Connecting memory and future with technology
How can blockchain technology empower cultural protection? The Fufuture and Rwalt projects explore new paths for the digital protection of cultural heritage. Through on-chain storage and interactive design, these projects not only breathe new life into traditional culture but also endow technology with deeper social value.
Awards Announcement: Outstanding Projects Shine on Stage
After more than two days of intense development, the final day of the hackathon welcomed the most exciting segment—Demo Day. Each participating team took the stage in turn, presenting their ideas and technical achievements to the jury and audience through professional demonstrations and live presentations. From technical principles to application scenarios, from product highlights to market potential, each team fully showcased the core value of their projects. The jury evaluated the projects based on innovation, technical depth, commercial prospects, and other dimensions, ultimately selecting a number of outstanding projects.
First Prize: Likwid & Stable Swap
Both approached the core issues of DeFi from different angles. Likwid addresses the issue of asset dispersion by improving liquidity efficiency, while Stable Swap focuses on optimizing the trading experience of stablecoins. The judges stated: 'These two projects are not only technically robust but can also effectively promote the further maturity of the DeFi ecosystem.'
Second Prize: Asteroidx & Lego Perpetual Protocol
Asteroidx's asset management tools provide more flexibility for on-chain assets, while Lego Perpetual Protocol offers a more promising solution for the derivatives market. The judges believe they excel in the combination of technology and market demand, with broad future prospects.
Third Prize: Bnb3 & Lightning Huskey
Bnb3 enables more people to participate in the circulation of blockchain assets by digitizing real-world assets; Lightning Huskey focuses on decentralized lending scenarios, promoting the diversity of the RWA track. The judges particularly noted that they have opened up new ideas for the application of real-world assets.
Innovation Award: Tiptag.social & X-Wallet
Tiptag.social showcases more possibilities of NFT applications through the combination of NFTs and social interactions; X-Wallet, as a wallet tool, simplifies the user's cross-chain experience. The judges stated: 'They are not only highly innovative but also reflect a profound insight into user needs.'
Umy Special Award: PolyFlow & Trusta
The multi-chain payment compatibility of PolyFlow and the payment security solution of Trusta showcase the infinite possibilities of the payment track in the future. The judges praised them for providing new ideas for the popularization of blockchain payments.
Special Award: Fufuture & Rwalt
Both redefine the application scenarios of blockchain from a cultural perspective. Fufuture ensures better preservation of traditional cultural memories, while Rwalt makes cultural dissemination more attractive through innovative interactive forms. The judges stated: 'They provide a new annotation for the social value of blockchain.'
Kay, CEO of HSK Eco Labs, said during the award ceremony: 'HashKey Hacker House is a stage for developers to unleash creativity and push the boundaries of technology. Over the course of three days, we saw many vibrant and promising projects, which not only filled me with confidence about the future of blockchain technology but also reinforced my belief that compliant innovation is key to driving industry development. HashKey Chain will always stand with developers, empowering more excellent ideas for a more prosperous Web3 ecosystem.'
The enthusiasm of developers and the future of the market
During this event, developers showcased a strong interest in optimizing DeFi user experience, RWA asset management, and the functionalization of NFTs. This not only reflects the actual needs of the industry but also provides inspiration for the key directions of the future market. After the event, many developers expressed: 'HashKey Hacker House is not only a technical arena but also a stage for inspiring innovation.' The successful hosting of this hackathon brought more possibilities to the industry and made HashKey Chain once again the focus of global developers.
HashKey Chain's mission: Compliance innovation drives a new chapter in the blockchain ecosystem
As one of the world's first blockchain public chains with compliance as its core strategy, HashKey Chain has carried a clear mission since its inception: to find a balance between compliance and innovation, providing reliable infrastructure for global developers and promoting the true popularization of blockchain technology.
