EasyA Aims to Lure More Than Just 'Treasure Hunters' to Its Hackathons

Many participants in industry hackathons are driven by the prospect of quick prize money, but EasyA is on the hunt for a different breed of competitor - those who aspire to build companies that can significantly impact Web3. This approach has yielded impressive results, with companies emerging from EasyA's app community and monthly in-person hackathons securing funding at a collective valuation of over $3 billion from top VC firms. EasyA's mobile app, designed to simplify the process of building Web3 projects, has garnered over a million users worldwide. The first EasyA Consensus hackathon in Austin saw over 700 participants launch 100 different crypto projects, and similar numbers are anticipated for upcoming events in Hong Kong and Toronto. In this discussion, the founders delve into their unique approach to hackathons, the expected differences between Consensus Hong Kong and other global events, and the potential impact of Donald Trump's presidency on the types of projects crypto developers pursue.
