ð¬ð§ English version:
Nice to meet you! My name is Yuki, and I am working on a project called beyondClub that allows brands and creators to easily start an NFT loyalty program, similar to âStarbuck Odysseyâ!
We start beyondClub at ETHIndia last year, and continued working together with two developers I met at ETHIndia, while onboarding 2 team members from the Philippines as well as one British person. We are collaborating with platforms like Polygon, Unlock, and Paper while also talking to multiple creators and brands.
In addition, I am also working on âBankless Japan,â the Japanese version of the media outlet DAO Bankless, where we deliver information from the world of web3 through newsletters. Please subscribe if youâre interested!
Participating in hackathons in six countries around the world in one year
In 2021, I co-founded a service called âPontâ that allows creators to easily sell using their smartphones and supported creators. During this time, I had the opportunity to research NFTs and tokens more deeply. I thought that using these could reduce creatorsâ dependence on platforms, create communities that build deeper relationships with fans, and bring about new ways and paradigms for creators and brands. So I decided to sell Pont and fully commit to crypto/Web3.
I was personally following the information, but I hadnât been able to follow it as a business, so I decided to focus on catching up with the cutting edge technology in 2022. I attended conferences around the world and participated in six hackathons in the second half of last year.
What we built at hackathons in 2022
For hackathons by ETHGlobal, I participated in ETHOnline, ETHBogota, ETHSanFrancisco, and ETHIndia.
At the first hackathon I ever attended, ETH CC (Paris), my skills where quite terrible still â I couldnât submit anything within the time limit. But gradually, I got used to the hackathon itself, and at Bogota, I was able to receive a total of about one million Japanese Yen in prizes.
As a project, we tried various directions, including DeFi and Dapp Store, using a wide range of protocols.

What can you gain from participating in a hackathon?
1. Connections with other hackers
The biggest gain from participating in a hackathon is undoubtedly the connections you make with other hackers.
In an environment where builders are completely immersed in creating a product for about three days, there are many opportunities to make friends with people from not only your own team, but also other teams. Even if they are not related to your business, the feeling of making friends around the world is very special and itâs a great opportunity to broaden your horizons.
I have personally reunited with team members at events such as ETHDenver and we still remain connected like old friends.
2. Connections with Sponsors
At a hackathon, each sponsor has a booth and is always available to answer questions from hackers. Some protocols even provide 24-hour support.
Itâs a rare opportunity to directly connect with people who are running protocols or projects on the front lines, so itâs best to take advantage of those connections that could be useful for future business.
I think itâs great to be able to maintain good relationships with founders and teams such as Superfluid, PUSH Protocol, and Unlock Protocol, who I met at the hackathon, and we still keep in touch regularly.
3. Prizes
There are two types of prizes at ETHGlobalâs hackathons: overall finalist prizes (about 10â15 winning teams will receive this) and prizes offered by each sponsor.
I donât think that winning prizes is the main purpose for most participants, but itâs definitely exciting to have the opportunity to win prizes that can cover travel expenses and other costs for attending events abroad.
In addition, winning sponsor prizes is a great opportunity to get closer to sponsors and build relationships with them.
4. Swag & Free Food and Beverage
One essential part of a hackathon is the swag and souvenirs provided by each sponsor and ETHGlobal itself, such as clothes and accessories.
You can receive a considerable amount of T-shirts and socks, so you can get by without bringing extra clothes even at international events.
During the hackathon, meals are also provided, and itâs enjoyable to eat local cuisine and share these special meals with your team.
Tips for hackathons?
Although there may not be relevant tips for you, I would like to share what I learned from participating in hackathons.
Decide on your purpose
Firstly, I think itâs important to determine your purpose for participating in the hackathon as the first step.
Decide if you want to get closer to a certain sponsor, gain multiple awards to show off, use the opportunity for global teams to meet in real life, or any other goal before the hackathon begins.
Form a team beforehand if possible
Once you have received approval to participate in the hackathon from ETHGlobal and have deposited the necessary ETH, you can join the dedicated Discord channel for the hackathon.
There is a channel called âFind-a-teamâ, where it is recommended to share your product ideas in advance and recruit team members.
By connecting on Discord beforehand and having conversations on Zoom or other platforms, you can start developing immediately on the day of the hackathon.
Even if you were unable to form a team beforehand, there will be time to form teams on the day of the hackathon.
Contact sponsors on Discord or other platforms beforehand
Channels for each sponsor are created within ETHGlobalâs hackathon channel, and you can contact them there. (It might be easier to contact them by joining each sponsorâs Discord channel.)
If you have some idea of what you want to create and which sponsorâs protocol you want to use, it may help to contact the sponsor beforehand to express your intention or ask questions. This can help to build a closer relationship when you actually meet offline.
WiFi
One thing you need to be careful about during the hackathon is WiFi. I did experience issues with WiFi, but this doesnât have to be the case for you. It is recommended to move to a nearby cafe or other location as a team as soon as possible once you experience it.
beyondClub: Turning a hackathon project into a business
As I mentioned earlier, we are currently working on turning a project called âbeyondClubâ that we started at ETHIndia hackathon into a solid business with the team we met there.
Although a hackathon may seem short, lasting only 36 hours, during those 36 hours, you spend almost all of your time together, eating meals together, and working on the product together, so you can develop a very close relationship.
At ETHIndia, we were able to receive prizes from Polygon and other sources, and we felt potential both as a product and as a team, so immediately after the hackathon, I approached two members who worked with me, and we decided to continue working on this product together.
We are mainly working online now, but thanks to our experience working together at the hackathon, we are progressing very smoothly with development.
Of course, compared to the hackathon, there are many things to consider when it comes to business, such as customers, competitors, and finance, but I think we are steadily moving forward day by day thanks to the hackathon experience and our global team.
At this hackathon, I myself am planning to invite the two members from India to Tokyo to participate in the beyondClub team.
I look forward to meeting everyone at the hackathon ð
