My Key Takeaways: - Introducing a new product devs are unaware of was challenging, but these 3 strategies helped us reach enough devs to see 26 submissions as a Ruby Sponsor. 1) Handing out a Cheat Sheet helped "break the ice" when explaining the product we offered. Showing proof of the product being deployed & hosted on our network gave them something tangible to see what's possible https://wapo-testnet.phala.network/ipfs/QmYbKe9LvurMC2VSBFyVUQK9dQ4dfut4QyxeLQ6goMho3W 2) We brought a Slot Machine to bring some fun to possible getting high quality merch (ledger, hiking backpack & water bottle) & learning about our product. We also required them to join a dev Telegram Group. 3) Telegram Group had an AI Bot I built that can answer questions about our hackathon bounty, and also generate potential ideas by integrating our product with other sponsors' bounties based on the bounties available. (We only had 3 users of the 151 devs use the bot, this can be leveraged better)

- Devs love an easy onboarding experience. We provided a dev experience that mimics a traditional web2 experience with a twist of Web3. The feedback we received most was they loved how simple it was to get started. The dev journey is: 1) Build your custom Agent Contract in TypeScript and allow devs to connect to any API or SDK they need for their project 2) Deploy compiled JS file of Agent Contract to IPFS 3) Add Secrets if needed 4) Interact with Agent Contract via Gateway w/ GET/POST requests https://wapo-testnet.phala.network/ipfs/<agent-contract-cid> This dev journey made it simple to connect to nearly every other sponsor at the hackathon without any heavy lifting or cross-chain transaction. So we saw devs build some elaborate projects including: - AI x Web3 in Gaming, DeFi (1inch, uniswap), account management, multi-agent systems, web3 onboarding, auditing, etc. - Attestations on-chain from derived account within Agent Contract - Used Viem SDK to create multi-chain products

- Devs appreciate the in-person help during the hackathon & they will tell their dev friends about positive experiences We made a point to hangout at the venue as long as possible. A couple of us even stayed up all night before judging (idk how good that was for my brain), but devs really appreciated the help & mentioned a key difference in them building on Phala when other projects weren't available. I think this is a hard task to do, but developers need to feel supported during these intense 2-day hackathons & impressions last. For example, I had 4 teams that were coming back to build on Phala from the hackathon we supported in Brussels for dAGI House. Some even introduced new devs to our tech bc of the previous experience.

For some reason, Warpcast bugging out & I lost my next reply π One learning I wanted to mention relates to something you said back at a devrel meetup in ETHDenver about Hackathons. - Hackathons are perfect to test your product to understand if the user demand is real & learn what gets builders excited. We specifically have 3 products that we are introducing each hackathon that we will collect feedback to enhance our product offering as we finalize our design & strategy to sell our TEE Cloud Services - Singapore: Provide a TS/JS template for devs to build general-purpose programs that execute in TEE as a serverless backend. Give them ability to connect to popular LLMs and use popular Web3 SDKs like viem to connect onchain. - SF: Allow devs to build products in any language & create a docker image to launch their products in a confidential container with a remote attestation published on a TEE block Explorer - Bangkok: GPU TEE (more info on this as we get closer)
