EasyA Seeks Founders for Impactful Web3 Projects at Hackathons
EasyA, co-founded by Dominic and Phil Kwok, targets developers focused on building impactful Web3 companies rather than "bounty hunters" seeking quick prize money. Key points include:
- EasyA has facilitated projects that raised over $3 billion in funding from major VC firms.
- The mobile app has over one million users globally, helping developers launch Web3 projects.
- The first EasyA Consensus hackathon in Austin saw over 700 participants launch 100 crypto projects.
- Upcoming hackathons are planned for Consensus Hong Kong and Consensus Toronto.
Dominic highlighted EasyA's dual focus:
- Encouraging long-term commitment from participants to build startups.
- Hosting single-chain hackathons to concentrate efforts on specific technologies.
In Asia, the hackathon is expected to attract a diverse crowd, with an emphasis on AI x Web3 projects and cross-border payment solutions due to regional currency familiarity. The Kwoks noted that political changes, such as Donald Trump's presidency, may lead to increased DeFi activity in the U.S., as current regulatory fears have limited participation. Their keynote at Consensus Hong Kong will address attracting more developers to the Web3 ecosystem and reveal upcoming tech upgrades at EasyA.
