About the Bounty

Hackathons in the context of web3 refer to events focused on the development and innovation of decentralized technologies and applications, also known as dApps. These events bring together developers, designers, and other professionals to collaborate on creating new and innovative dApps that can run on decentralized networks. Participation in web3 hackathons not only allows developers to showcase their skills, but also provides an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with other experts, and gain experience with decentralized systems. Additionally, as the web3 ecosystem is relatively new, there are many open problems and opportunities, so participating in such events often gives an opportunity to be a pioneer in a new field.

Given that Web3 hackathon events are a new concept in Turkey, we have sponsored a deep dive writing bounty to answer questions for those who are interested in participating. The goal of the bounty is to inform readers about what a hackathon is and its benefits, in order to encourage readers to participate in future events.

🎯
Your Mission: Write a thought-provoking piece that delves into the world of Solana hackathons and evokes the desire to participate among readers through a thorough and engaging explanation. (Your writing should include topics in the depth section.) You're welcome to write this review individually or in teams of 2. Bounties will be split among team members.
