Digemart was deployed on @arc Testnet and we’ve been fine-tuning, testing, and preparing for mainnet.

We couldn’t deploy on Day One as planned, but we’re committed to deploying our contract within the first week after Arc mainnet launch.
The multi-agent hackathon organized by @zjearbear , @PhillipLii founders of @lemma_ was a total mess. you gave us 7 hours to build, and over 350 people joined the virtual event, I was there live and also participated in the hack.
Right from the schedule, I already knew something was off. How do you announce winners just 60 minutes after organizing a live hackathon with over 370 participants? We finished building, and an hour later these guys randomly showed up on the live call with some random names as the winners, then ended the call just like that. No details on what the winners built, no transparency whatsoever. I wasn't too disappointed though, because I was already skeptical about the whole thing from the beginning, now this was where the whole thing got interesting 😅
I woke up this morning and saw an article of someone also one of the participant (digging up the winners of the hackathon, and sure enough, I was right. This was further confirmed when I checked the winners list and noticed that no project repository was referenced; only the winners' names were shown. To make it worse, for the first and second place winners, their names were actually clickable links.and they led to LinkedIn profile pages, alas they were insiders 😂
Take a look at this guys : blog.sayem.eu.org/shady-hackatho…
Here's the thing: nowhere in the entire submission process did we submit a LinkedIn profile link. We only submitted our email and code repository. So how did they obtain LinkedIn profile of the winners ?.It raises a serious question about the integrity of the entire selection process.
@lemma_ and @CommaCapital , this really isn't something you should be doing. This is a slap in the face and an insult to everyone who showed up for a solid 8 hours, neglecting their Sunday activities and rest to participate in what turned out to be a sham of a hackathon.
Too bad for the team.

‣ finding good hackathons is becoming a hackathon itself.
@devpost has some, @DoraHacks has some , @devfolio has some @ETHGlobal has some.
then there are bounties, grants, builder programs and AI competitions scattered across even more platforms.
so I went looking for the tools trying to fix that problem.
here are 7 hackathon aggregators you need to never miss a hackathon.
1. HackListHQ - hacklist.io
AI + Web3 focused. It pulls together hackathons, bounties, grants, builder programs and jobs, then sorts them around prizes and deadlines.
Best if you spend most of your time in Web3 or AI and don't want to check five different boards.
2. HackOdds - hackodds-live.vercel.app
probably the most interesting one.
it pulls events from Devpost, DoraHacks, Devfolio, Hackquest, HackList and others, then ranks them using prize money relative to registrations.
in simple terms, it helps you answer
"Is this hackathon actually worth entering?"
you can also connect GitHub for a personalized watchlist and ranking based on the languages in your public repos.
3. HackathonRadar - hackathonradar.com
The wide-net option.
It pulls from 50+ platforms, including Devpost, Devfolio, MLH, ETHGlobal, Unstop, Kaggle, Hack Club and DoraHacks.
ut also has quality scores, a map, API, MCP and webhooks.
4. EntrantHub -
entranthub.com
goes beyond hackathons.
it also covers coding contests and AI/ML competitions across multiple platforms.
5. Hack Club Hackathons -
hackathons.hackclub.com
this one is more niche.
it's focused mainly on free, student-led hackathons, with filters for location and virtual events.
It also has a public JSON API, so the data it has is more useful beyond the website itself.
6. Hack Events - hackevents.net
a broader tech-event search engine covering hackathons, meetups and conferences.
it has an API, calendar and MCP, so it's more useful for agents and automated workflows.
7. Hackamaps - hackamaps.com
this one takes a different approach.
it's map-first.
if you care about physical hackathons and want to plan travel around where builders are meeting, this is the most useful one for that
Take September to December seriously if you're looking for a job.
1. Companies are planning their 2027 budgets and headcount. Getting hired now can put you ahead of the January rush.
2. Teams are trying to close important projects before the year ends. This is when they realise exactly where they need more hands.
3. A lot of people mentally check out towards December. Use that period to apply, network and position yourself while everyone else is waiting for January.
Don’t wait for January to start looking for work.
Start now.
But I think it's worth exploring.
Maybe the next big Nigerian company won't create an entirely new industry.
Maybe it'll look at an existing one and ask:
"Who are we still not serving properly?"

We've changed our assumptions several times.
We're still learning.
But one thing has become increasingly clear:
There is a significant gap in corporate food in Nigeria.
We're still early, so I'm not going to declare that we've found the next Blue Ocean.
Nigeria has produced some fascinating "Blue Ocean" companies.
OPay didn't invent banking.
Moniepoint didn't invent business banking.
Chowdeck didn't invent food delivery.
Swoop isn't the first food-delivery company.
So what did they see that others didn't?
