On the evening of May 6, the venture fund Colosseum announced the results of the 9th Solana Foundation Hackathon Solana Renaissance Competition. With more than 8,300 participants from more than 95 countries/regions participating, only 34 of the 1,071 entries broke through, with a win rate of only 3.17%. What's even more surprising is that Ore, who crashed the Solana network after going online, won the championship. As soon as the news came out, the ORE burst nearly 2 times to above $330. Maybe it's because of Ore's small step, a big step forward in the healthy and stable development of Solana's network?

In addition, the award-winning projects of Solana Renaissance are also distributed in consumer applications, infrastructure, gaming, DePIN, payments, DAO & community, and many other fields. Now that the Solana hackathon has already rolled out a series of ecosystem projects such as Tensor, Marinade, JitoLabs, etc., today Foresight News will take a look at these award-winning projects to see what other early projects are worth paying attention to.
