Mezo Community Hackathon: SocialFi Wave is an 8-day builder experience designed designed to bring your creative ideas to life. Hosted by Mezo and Drip, this hackathon offers a unique opportunity to develop engaging projects—from games to leaderboards— using Drip APIs on Mezo Discord. Whether you're a designer or developer, this is your chance to push your creativity for what's possible with mats.
mats are the lifeblood of Discord (and soon Testnet) activity, a rewards system that recognizes power users and creates a positive flywheel of activity. More activity with mats means more users and fun, resulting in more mats activity, ad infinitum.
We're thrilled to add the Community Hackathon to the matsFi economy, giving our users another way to stand out and build the Mezo community from the ground up.
Themes
Meme Factories: Bring Mezo culture together with DRiP's capabilities to make any.
Dashboards: Build dashboards that bring community activities to life, presenting real-time insights and data so the community can easily track key metrics.
Social Games: Design games that take collaboration and community building within Mezo to the next level.
Engagement Analytics: Create tools that track and analyze community participation, engagement, and activity to reward top contributors.
NFT Reward Systems: Develop NFT-based reward structures that gamify contributions and milestones within the Mezo community.
Discord Activities: Create a variety of engaging activities and DRiP applications for the Mezo Discord. Expand on the classic poker games or move beyond into something more creative!
