Hackathon Solana Season will have experts as judges
Experts in their professional fields will evaluate projects without regard to legal feasibility. Participants will be required to create software exclusively for evaluation purposes. After the competition is over, interested parties will be able to compete to fund the projects.
Over the next few weeks, Solana will hold online events on its YouTube channel to clarify information about the competition.
