Looking for a primer on NFTs? This should be the last introduction you’ll ever need.
Dear NFT enthusiast,
It’s been a RMRKable week here at RMRK. Kanaria broke its ATH in sales with little to no effort.
Polkadot founder, Gavin Wood, made a tweet about Singular—talk about being on cloud nine!
All of this is fantastic, but then, we are a pretty serious team and are fully aware that our progress demands further progress. To this end, we are hosting a month-long hackathon in October. We are calling on all competent developers (React, Typescript, Rust, Solidity, etc.) to show up and stand a chance to win a decent piece of the $50,000 prize pool.
Unlike most basic hackathons that only consider the developers, ours also creates participation for non-developers. If you’re a creative (writer, concept artist, digital artist, etc.), then you can participate in our Hacktoberfest’s designathon to win some pretty sweet prizes.
The hackathon, in partnership with ecosystem heavy-hitters like PAKA, Phala, PoCoCo, D1, Signum, Illusionist Group, Subsquid, and AMPnet, is meant to expand the NFT ecosystem on DotSama (Polkadot and Kusama) by building on top of and around the RMRK protocol and its tools and products.
Kindly share the link with any developers and creatives you know. Thank you for reading and have a great week.
