👉 Ore wins Solana hackathon despite disrupting Solana’s network in April👈 


The team behind the proof-of-work powered Solana-native crypto Ore has won the “Grand Prize” at a Solana Foundation-backed hackathon despite the project majorly disrupting the blockchain in April.


Solana’s transaction failure issue in mid-April, which saw more than 70% of non-vote transaction requests being knocked back at first instance.


The Solana Foundation said the recent network congestion issues were due to the high demand for Solana block space and a failure to promptly implement patches related to its networking stack.
