Introduction

The blockchain world is undergoing a development frenzy, and we at Router thought, what better way to nurture innovation than through a Hackathon? And today, we’re here to announce the winners of the first-ever Interoperability Hackathon — IDAppathon, hosted on Dorahacks.

The IDAppathon was dedicated to supporting projects and engaging a wide range of builders in experimenting and launching blockchain solutions on Router Protocol’s testnet. Over the course of the hackathon, participants worked tirelessly to develop their ideas into functional prototypes, leveraging the capabilities of Router Protocol’s Crosstalk and Omnichain Framework. After weeks of hard work, dedication, and creativity, let’s celebrate the achievements of our talented participants.

Meet the Winners

The solutions ranged from cross-chain DeFi platforms to data-sharing protocols and decentralized identity solutions — all contributing to the advancement of blockchain interoperability.

First Place:
