Thanks for acknowledging #EduVerse

The prize is a reward, but the support is more expensive and hyperhack as provided this.

Thank you, for the recognition and believe in fracture point, we will cherish this mile stone and the more to come. We hope to deliver further and create a beautiful experience.

Thank you Métis!

[Hadijat]

How about scoremilk?

Congrats to the winners.

Fracture point is well deserved, @i_am_supaman_lj you were exemptional. Your campaign was outstanding, would you be sharing and insight to your success?

[4ngel]

Congratulation everyone

[Elena]

Congratulations to all winners!

[Sheyda]

Appreciate your contribution and build! looking forward to the hackathon winners

Unfortunately whichever projects is not in the list means they haven’t meet the criteria.

[Hadijat]

Got it, I figured they didn’t get enough users to the forum.

How about StreamNft, I feel they should have had a campaign twitter account as they are existing project. This puts other projects at a disadvantage.

Just what I noticed.

[piyush-chittara]

FYI: StreamNFT saw increased user participation during a paid campaign on Taskon, using the same $300 allocation. Sharing this in case it offers additional perspective.

[Hadijat]

I was actually reaching out to the judges, but it’s great you brought up the analytics. Rather than task on, X analytics would have sufficed (using a controlled milestone to tell the growth like I did in the image). All you just proved to me is how much your existing users supported the project. For fairness there are several ways you could have gone about the campaign and still win while navigating through the rules and regulations effectively.

The judges were lenient enough to accommodate your tactics, but said tactics are flawed. Be careful next times.

Congrats on the win.

[i_am_supaman_lj]

I think you have the whole situation backwards, the team proved and assured every project on how the positions were awarded. As much as I understand your view, everyone worked in line with the conditions and if they violated they would have been cut like other projects that didn’t make it here.

Please refrain from the confrontational words.

[Hadijat]

I am just pointing the general view to him.

And I am not been confrontational, just stating a few facts. Thanks

[i_am_supaman_lj]

Alright hadijat,

I saw the piece you wrote, unfortunately I don’t belong in the marketing guild yet.

But I said it since fracture point was tagged, great looking out. And you can ask what you want to know or tag me later anyone you need my insight.

[i_am_supaman_lj]

If you are asking the question I would answer accordingly to my best capacity.

[Norbert]

congratulations to the winning team

[piyush-chittara]

Sharing attached Twitter analytics to help clarify.

I had raised a forum request for verification on Taskon, but we managed to get our campaign rolling. We structured campaigns that drove growth—rotating goals every 5 days: ~200 referrals to the forum, then follower growth, and later on-chain tasks.

It’s disheartening when efforts get dismissed without context. Questioning is fine, but conclusions should come from data, not assumptions. There were no shortcuts or tricks here. And while healthy debate is welcome, questioning judges or fellow projects isn’t productive.

If perspectives differ too much, I’ll leave it there.
