Infinito’s track challenged contestants to come up with a solution for loyalty point exchanges between franchises in the form of a website or mobile app. Participants were given small samples of Infinito SDK and API, the essential tools in the development and operation of the world-leading Infinito Wallet. This is the first time Infinito has ever made these development tools officially public.
To provide support for track participants, our senior engineers Mr. Thinh Tran and Mr. Huy Hoang delivered the tech seminar sharing knowledge about Infinito SDK and smart contracts. Our challenging yet exciting track was the most popular out of all 3 tracks in the event, having gathered the biggest number of participants.
At the end of 48 hours, participants submitted their work to be evaluated by Infinito judges to select the best 3 teams. Afterwards, the teams presented their project on stage along with the top 6 teams from 2 other tracks. Final evaluation featured 12 prominent judges including Junction CEO, Co-founder of Tomochain, CEO of InfoRe Technology, Co-founder of Kyber Network, and 2 Faculty Heads from Hanoi University along with 2 representatives from each track.
Team Phoenix from Infinito’s track was chosen as the Hackathon champion as they successfully satisfied the judging criteria of technology utilization, creativity and scalability. We are extremely excited about their victory and cannot wait to see the team perform at the global scale competition in Finland this November. Here are some of the contest’s best moments.
