Congratulations to the Winners of HackAtom V

HackAtom V has come to an end. What an exciting journey we had!
HackAtom V was the fifth edition of the Cosmos HackAtom series that we started back in 2017, right after the Cosmos public fundraiser. Unlike all the other in-person events, this hackathon was our first exclusively virtual event of its kind. Over 340 participants from across the globe hacked remotely for two weeks. Teams utilized bleeding-edge technology such as the Cosmos SDK, IBC, Starport, Ethermint, CosmWasm, Agoric, and more from the Cosmos ecosystem, and have succeeded in building some amazing projects.
We want to thank the participating teams for taking the time to work on great projects and the judges, mentors, and the organizing team at Tendermint for putting together such an exciting and amazing event.
Time to meet the winners! 🥳

Special Thanks
HackAtom V would not have been possible without the help from numerous people and teams in our ecosystem.
A huge shoutout goes to the workshop creators, from teams like Regen Network, Tendermint, Agoric, Confio, IrisNet, Commercio, Persistence, and Interchain GmBH that have worked hard to demo and introduce Cosmos to a live, worldwide audience via workshops during HackAtom V.
Check out the workshops and demos from #HackAtomV on YouTube.
Our amazing team of mentors worked around the clock to assist everyone in developing and polishing their projects. They were present day-in-day-out on our #HackAtomV Discord channel, which made it feel like a live, in-person event. Mentors came from teams such as Chainsafe, Dokia Capital, Interchain Foundation, Tendermint, Paradigm, Informal, ShapeShift, 1confirmation, Interchain GmbH, Forbole, FreeFlix & CoCo, Persistence, Figment, Akash, Iqlusion, Confio, Regen Network, Commercio, IrisNet, Persistence, and Agoric.
We want to thank our judges, who took the time to carefully examine each submission, review the code, and assess the category in which these projects would fit best:
- Nick Tomaino, Founder/GP of 1Confirmation
- Erik Voorhees, a top serial Bitcoin advocate/entrepreneur, Founder of ShapeShift
- Billy Rennekamp, Grants Manager at Interchain Foundation
- Aurel Iancu, CEO at Dokia Capital
- Charlie Noyes, Partner at Paradigm Fund
- Brent Xu, Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships at Tendermint
- Aidan Hyman, Co-founder & CEO at ChainSafe Systems
- Ethan Buchman, CEO at Informal Systems, Co-founder of Cosmos & Tendermint & VP at Interchain Foundation
There were also internal teams at Tendermint who worked hard behind the scenes to make this event possible, which consisted of efforts from the Engineering, DevX, Operations, Marketing, and Design teams. Tendermint was responsible for deploying the hubs, building the tools and infrastructure, designing the website, promoting HackAtom, and organizing the event by coordinating with each of the stakeholders.
Last but not least, a big thank you goes out to the Interchain Foundation for generously sponsoring the prizes of HackAtom V.
We hope that the participating teams will continue working on the projects that they have started during this HackAtom event, and that we’ll meet again in Cosmos! Stay tuned for more HackAtom V news, including a Winners’ Spotlight blog post.
There’s only one destination! To the Cosmos! 🚀
