Born in India, Lumos Labs is one of our geographic-centric partners who opt for globalization with "BUIDL for Web3" Hackathon, to fracture barriers for local developers and beyond. The initiative is allied with a dozen mega, and macro stakeholders’ support, subsidizing the outstanding applicants with monetary incentives and virtual dev training.
Taking a part in this journey, DoraHacks helped to attract 85 BUIDL submissions from our virtual BUIDLer community and newcomers. We are gathered on such occasions with a shared goal to equalize dev resources, overlap opportunities, and form a collaborative space. Conclude the hackathon with 33 exceptional projects and crowning sponsors, respectively. Let’s meet our finest BUIDLs of 2022!

The incredible journey of BUIDL for Web3 Hack 2022🙌
BUIDL for Web3 Hack 2022, the flagship hackathon by Lumos Labs, brought together 7k+ developers to build on 18 tracks spanning across DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, Entertainment, Developer tooling and infrastructure development. We received 376 idea submissions and outstanding projects.
With a diverse set of tracks — DeFi, NFT, Entertainment, Developer Tooling and infrastructure, sustainability-based solutions, governance and DAOs, the BUIDL for Web3 journey has been incredible, providing an enticing environment for developers to innovate and learn. Also, we had a lot of fun time BUIDLing despite the fact that hackathons can be a bit stressful.
Hackathons encourage critical thinking and enable developers to work on soving issues that exist in the real world. With a challenging set of tracks, we believe BUIDL for Web3 Hack achieved that!
A panorama of the BUIDL for Web3 offline hackathon at Delhi & Bangalore
After a long bout of virtual hackathons, we decided to host two offline LIVE hacking sessions in two different cities in India — Bangalore and Delhi. BUILD for Web3 Hack — Bangalore and Delhi brought together 250+ web3 developers who spent 48 hours BUIDLing non-stop to coding.
From unresponsive servers to syntax errors, we faced many problems throughout the 24hr build period, but our amazing devs managed to sail through and provide quality submissions. Moreover, for the Devs to stay the course with their creativity and new ideas without any blockade, we made sure Discord support was available around the clock!
In drawing things to a close…🤝
We’re thrilled to connect with a talented, inspired, and ambitious community of Devs.
We want to give special thanks to all who participated in this hackathon and participated in this journey.
Also, we look forward to having you next year! Engage with BUIDL for Web3, learn new experiences and open up new horizons of innovation in the Web3 space with us🚀
Once again, a huge round of asynchronous applause to all the winners and participants! You all are the best and we’re super proud of you!
