Dear ENS DAO Members,
RnDAO is excited to announce our upcoming month-long online hackathon in September, aimed at attracting over 200 builders, in collaboration with Arbitrum. We invite ENS to join us as a key sponsor. This proposal outlines the hackathon structure and highlights the benefits ENS will gain by participating.
Hackathon Overview
CollabTech Hackathon, themed around Collaboration Technology (aka organization chain, B2B saas, future of work, etc.), focuses on attracting talent to develop innovative solutions in governance, operations, identity and reputation, contributor tooling, etc. CollabTech represents the evolution of B2B SaaS projected to reach USD 1 Trillion by 2030. ENS can be integrated into or even inspire new CollabTech products through the hackathonās prizes, talks, mentors, and workshops.
Bonus: Post-Hackathon Building
What makes this hackathon unique is our focus on long-term impact. Top teams will have the chance to join the RnDAO ecosystem of startups and receive ongoing support to continue their projects after the event. This means that the work incentivized by the prizes can grow into long-lasting projects that utilize ENS beyond the hackathon.
