*Everscale, one of Asia’s premier blockchain networks, has concluded its online __[Elysium hackathon](https://gitcoin.co/hackathon/everscale/?)__. Winners have been declared for each track and given their shares of the hackathon’s $43,000 prize pool.*

\
Fresh off of winning AIBC’s network of the year honors, the Everscale network, which has set a new scalability standard in the blockchain industry by virtue of its infinite sharding technology, hosted an online hackathon that started in November. The purpose of the hackathon was to give the most talented developers out there a chance to test their skills by working with one of the most technologically sophisticated networks.

\
The hackathon had three main tracks dedicated to GameFi, web3 communications and composable smart contracts, along with a number of smaller tasks. A total of 31 teams participated in the event. The main tracks were open to teams of developers and the smaller tasks were for individuals. Winners were selected for each track by a jury made up of industry experts and Everscale network specialists. For each team track, first place received a prize of $5,000, second place — $4,000, and third — $3,000.

## GameFi track

\
The GameFi track was designed by specialists from the Everscale network and participants were asked to implement a GameFi project into the network using FT and NFT standards. The project had to be designed to comply with the unique characteristics of the network or utilize an analog of the ERC1155 standard.
