Leading NFT marketplace APENFT, in partnership with TRON, one of the world’s largest and most popular blockchain-based operating systems, has launched the first-ever APENFT & TRON GameFi Hackathon.
The concept of GameFi has gained significant popularity this year, as it combines DeFi, NFT, and P2E blockchain gaming ecosystems, providing users with access to a world of income opportunities. The Hackathon is open to all developers willing to build GameFi projects on the TRON blockchain. Registrations and submissions for the first phase of the Hackathon started on December 20th, 2021, and will continue until February 20th, 2022.
To empower developers and help accelerate the growth of GameFi in the TRON ecosystem, APENFT Foundation is sponsoring a $500,000 prize pool for the highly anticipated Hackathon, the results of which will be announced on March 1st, 2022. Winning teams will also get support from the TRON development team, and an opportunity to present their projects in the DoraHacks live studio for higher visibility. Furthermore, the most promising projects will also receive APENFT’s end-to-end support in funding and incubation after the Hackathon.
