EOS全球黑客马拉松结束到现在刚好一年，我们想花点时间回顾过去、展望未来。我们追踪采访了获胜团队和参赛团队 #建立在EOSIO之上 的项目发展情况、发展水平、以及他们的下一步计划。
回顾过去
如果你刚刚接触EOSIO生态，你可能不知道2018年，Block.one举办了EOS全球黑客马拉松系列赛，这个项目吸引了世界各地的人——准确来说，一共有1724位参赛者参加了比赛。他们的共同目标都是设计区块链应用，为最终解决局部问题添砖加瓦。
第一场黑客马拉松在香港进行，而后是悉尼和伦敦。接着我们举办了“非洲虚拟”赛事，然后在旧金山继续比赛，最后在开普敦举办了决赛。评委团队深谙什么是好项目、产品和展示模式，现场导师也全天候为选手提供帮助，实现各种想法，可以说，比赛中协作和灵感并不稀罕。最终，这些灵感给Block.one的开源软件EOSIO带来了280个项目。
之后，我们为EOSIO黑客马拉松推出了新主页—hackathon.eos.io —我们在上面发布了各种资源和信息，方便世界各地想要举办、合作或参加EOSIO支持的黑客马拉松的人。随着时间的推移，我们希望能够发展社区推动的EOSIO黑客马拉松，把志趣相投的个人联系起来、彰显这样一个饱含激情、创意和技能的群体过去和未来如何为EOSIO的发展贡献力量。

冠军准备推出测试版
Albert Chen, GeneOS联合创始人和CEO
GeneOS是针对基因组大数据的区块链数据所有权、市场和安全计算平台，它在开普敦的比赛中获得了EOS VC奖励的50万美元。总决赛以后，来自不同国家的团队四巨头（Benjamin Tse, Jens Elstner, Albert Chen 和 Jay Bowles）一直在推进其项目，预计在2020年第一个季度发布测试版，不久之后他们也会推出先行版。
我们进度不快，但是很平稳，联合创始人和CEO Albert和整个团队一开始也是这么希望的。“我们在基因组和医疗领域走得越深，我们就必须对我们产品不断进行迭代。”
有人戏称他们是“区块链男团”，其项目（还获得了伦敦赛事的最佳社会影响力奖）的初衷是社会需要更多人私密地进行基因测序，这样人类—尤其是科学界—才能更好地获得DNA中包含的信息，实现疾病预防与治疗。
“我们的主要关注点是客户开发——测试我们关于基因研究员的初始假设、基于其需求设计和验证我们的项目模式、了解人工智能世界。”
他们也承认，自己的愿景比较宏大，但是团队把这个目标拆解成更小、更可以实现的小目标，并努力地完成每一个步骤。

被投资的团队
Lachlan Greenbank, Smartpress CEO 和创始人
赢得悉尼站的比赛之后，Smartpress并没有满足于让所有人都能够无缝地把应用和EOSIO智能合约集成起来；他们还实现了重要的、令人瞩目的里程碑。
九月，其服务平台的第一个版本上线，创造了近5万美元的收入。
这个进步，创立人Lachlan Greenbank说，是一年的技术挑战带来的结果，而多亏了他们在悉尼获得的指导，他们才能面对这些挑战。
“它（导师指导）给我们提供了一个浓缩的孵化器项目，给了Smartpress最初的推动力，之后，我们一直都在他们的建议下发展。”
“我们一直在寻找自己的身份和策略，让我们在区块链这个不断变革的土地上，能够成为竞争力、有创意的选择。”
2020年他们会聚焦如何改进了用户体验，他们希望，这能让他们的智能合约驱动的应用市场更好地发展。
Chestnut 为2020年上线做好了准备
Chestnut 联合创始人Daniel Liebeskind
Chestnut获得了EOS全球黑客马拉松伦敦赛区亚军和最佳用户体验奖。他们着力于提供简单好用同时又安全的用户账户、改进区块链应用的用户体验。
团队最近刚刚发布了技术白皮书，并计划在2020年推出Chestnut。此外，他们已经建立了自己的智能合约系统并实现了独立审核。
值得注意的是，除了团队本身，他们还有其它的进步，在伦敦获奖以后，他们成立了Decrypted，这是团队做的一个咨询业务，现在该业务已经拥有了大量基于EOSIO的客户，其中甚至包括Telos。
“为了实现区块链应用的大规模采用，我们必须有一个基础架构，能够让新用户简单和安全地上手。”联合创始人Daniel Liebeskind说，“现在，我们比任何时候都坚信，Chestnut是该基础架构的关键部分。”

继续编码协作
NouGit联合创始人Rob Behnke
NouGit在旧金山站获得了头奖，斩获10万美元的奖金，之后，他们一直在建立自己的去中心化和激励性的Git存储库平台，这个平台会为用户提供注册、添加和生成产品报告、资助就业岗位和支付满足工作要求的程序员等核心功能。
NouGit最终的目标是什么？他们要建立一个系统，让很多合作伙伴在它提供的核心系统上建立应用。为了实现该目标，团队集合了当初黑客马拉松的参与者Rob Behnke (CEO) 和 Fred Madrid (CPO)，新加入的Mo Ayyash（前Google员工）和全栈开发人员Thomas Powers (EOS Bet)。
NouGit在2020年有很多目标，包括项目上线和种子轮融资，现在团队着力解决现在开源领域的一些最重要的问题。“我们让开发者能够带领一些被放弃的包括、实现功能、事务和项目众筹。”Behnke说。
“我们希望能够成为去中心化社区管理和治理的首选平台。

It’s been just over a year since the EOS Global Hackathon series concluded, so we’re taking a moment to recap what went down, but to also look forward. We’re checking in with some of the past winners and competitors on how their projects #BuiltOnEOSIO are progressing, where they’re at, and what they’re doing next.
The Recap
For those of you new to the EOSIO ecosystem, in 2018 Block.one hosted the EOS Global Hackathon series, an event that brought people together from all over the world – 1,724 to be exact. All with the common goal of designing blockchain powered applications geared towards positive change that ultimately solve topical problems.
We began in Hong Kong, and worked our way through Sydney to London. We hosted the Africa Virtual event, headed to San Francisco, and brought everyone together with a grand finale in Cape Town. With judging panels well versed in what makes a great project, product or pitch, and mentors available at all hours to bring ideas to fruition, there was no shortage of collaboration or inspiration. Inspiration that ultimately saw 280 projects built on Block.one’s open source software, EOSIO.
Since then we’ve also launched a new home for EOSIO hackathons – hackathon.eos.io – along with resources and information for anyone around the world to host, partner or attend an EOSIO powered hackathon. With time, we hope to foster community driven EOSIO hackathons that bring together like minded individuals, and highlight the passion, creativity and skill of a collective that made and continues to make a mass contribution to the evolution of EOSIO.

Grand Finale Winners Heading Towards Beta
Albert Chen, Co-Founder and CEO of GeneOS
GeneOS, a blockchain-enabled data ownership, marketplace and secure computing platform for genomic big data, took home US$500,000 in Cape Town courtesy of EOS VC. Since the Grand Finale, this global foursome of Benjamin Tse, Jens Elstner, Albert Chen and Jay Bowles – have been advancing their project towards beta in Q1 2020, with a pilot program to come soon after.
It’s been a slow but steady progression, one that Co-Founder and CEO Albert and the team expected from the beginning, “We had to keep iterating our product as we got deeper into the genomic and medical space.”
Dubbed by some as a “boy band of blockchain”, their project (which also was awarded Best Social Impact Prize in London) stemmed from the need for more people to privately sequence their genomes so humanity – particularly the scientific community – can better understand the information contained in DNA with a view to both disease prevention and cure.
“Our main focus has been customer development – testing our initial assumptions with genetic researchers, designing and validating our prototype based on their needs and understanding the AI world.”
Admitting their vision is grand, it is one the team are breaking down into smaller, more achievable phases, and actively working to accomplish each step.

The Invested
Lachlan Greenbank, CEO & Founder of Smartpress
Since winning the Sydney Hackathon, Smartpress hasn’t just continued developing their web app that allows anyone to seamlessly integrate apps with EOSIO smart contracts; they’ve been meeting significant and impressive milestones as they do.
In September, Version 1 of their service platform launched, generating just under US$50,000 of revenue.
This progress, founder Lachlan Greenbank says, has come after a year of technical challenges, which they were well positioned to meet thanks to the mentorship received in Sydney.
“It (the mentorship) provided us with a condensed incubator program that gave Smartpress the initial push, and we’ve been building on their advice ever since.”
“We’ve also been finding our own identity and strategies to position ourselves as a competitive and innovatively placed alternative, in this ever changing blockchain landscape.”
Their market of smart contract powered apps is one they hope to grow in 2020 through a revised UX focus.
Chestnut Preparing for 2020 Launch
Daniel Liebeskind, Co-Founder of Chestnut
Second Place takers and winners of Best User Experience at the London edition of the EOS Global Hackathon, Chestnut are working to improve the user experience of blockchain applications by providing an easy to use account with useful safety features.
Following their recently published technical white paper, the team are planning to launch Chestnut in 2020. Moreover, they’ve already built out their smart contract system which has been independently audited.
Notably, it’s not just the team that has been making progress. After their London success, they started Decrypted, a consulting business that already boasts a portfolio of EOSIO based clients, including Telos.
“In order for there to be mass adoption of blockchain applications, there needs to be an infrastructure in place that makes new user onboarding easy and safe,” says Daniel Liebeskind, Co-Founder. “We believe, more so now than ever, that Chestnut is a critical part of that infrastructure.”
More information on Chestnut’s smart accounts are available on their #BuiltOnEOSIO feature.
Continuing The Coding Collaboration
Rob Behnke, Co-Founder of NouGit
Since taking home first prize of US$100,000 at the San Francisco Hackathon, the NouGit team have continued building their decentralized and incentivized git repository platform. One that provides core features for users to register, add and shape project repos, fund job postings and pay coders who satisfy the job requirements.
NouGit’s ultimate goal? To build a system that can enable many partners to build applications on top of the core system it provides. It’s a goal that has seen the current team of past hackathon participants, Rob Behnke (CEO) and Fred Madrid (CPO), joined by newcomers Mo Ayyash (Google alumni) and full stack developer Thomas Powers (EOS Bet).
With multiple goals in 2020 including a launch and seed raise, NouGit are currently focused on solving some of the most critical issues in open source today. “We’re empowering developers to lead abandoned repos, enable crowdfunding features, issues and projects,” says Behnke.
“We want to be the go-to platform for decentralized community management and governance.”
