CAN, including members of at least 27 protocols, who participated in dozens of
workshops throughout the hackathon.0g labs committed $5,000 in prizes to the three hackathon
teams that showcased the most innovative use of the 0G ecosystem.
This track rewarded developers who demonstrate creative and impactful use cases leveraging
0G's unique capabilities, such as its storage throughput, infinitelly scalable DA layer, decentralized AI compute network,
and EVM compatible ChainPoint 0G welcome submissions from teams
developing solutions addressing AI-powered DApps with verifiable computation,
decentralized machine learning platforms, storage solutions for massive datasets,
on-chain gaming with AI components, and DeFi protocols enhanced with
AI. Submissions that integrated at least one Zero G core component and included a fully
functional demo on the Zero G testnet were eligible for judging. The hackathon attracted
a diverse range of teams and concepts, with a influencer, Warriors AI arena, and Privy
