The evaluation of the developed projects and selection of winners. Positive future development evaluation

Evaluating the impact of the hackathon on the Cardano ecosystem:

The evaluation of the impact of the hackathon on the Cardano ecosystem will be carried out by collecting data on participation in the event, the performance of the developed projects and feedback from the participants. This will include metrics such as the number of participants, the quality of projects submitted, the level of interaction between developers, and the perceived impact on the Cardano community. Additionally, a detailed report will be prepared that will analyze this data and provide a clear view of the impact of the hackathon on the promotion, adoption and development of Cardano.

Visual or documentary evidence is presented that demonstrates the successful execution of the hackathon, including activities, sessions and ceremonies.

Project evaluation criteria are clear and objective, and a transparent methodology is used to select winners.
