Over 3,300 builders. More than 400 projects. $250,000 in prizes.
Forte Hacks brought together some of the brightest builders from across the globe to create the next generation of onchain finance, from yield protocols to prediction markets to onramp in developing countries and DeFi tools built for everyone.
In the last year, Flow has reached higher throughput than most L2s, saw 600% year-over-year increase in TVL to over $100M, and pushed the pivotal 'Forte' upgrade that drastically reduced the development time for consumer applications from months to just days.
Here are the standout teams and projects that shaped this year’s hackathon:
