Solana Mobile announced the 11 winning projects of the CLOCK IN Hacker松 competition, which attracted a total of 438 submissions from developers creating mobile applications for the Solana ecosystem.
CLOCK IN is organized by RadiantsDAO. The submission channel will be open from September 8th to October 12th. Subsequently, the review process will begin, and the selection will be completed on November 9th. The competition offers a total of 5 major awards, 5 additional awards, as well as a separate $SKR Integration Award.
RadiantsDAO emphasized the quality of the entries, stating that developers demonstrated "a very high level of refinement and curiosity" in transforming unconventional ideas into functional products.
This competition focuses on evaluating usability, performance, and thoughtful mobile design. The judges score based on four equally weighted criteria: product stickiness and market fit, user experience, innovation, and presentation quality.
Sprouts Wins a $30,000 Grand Prize
DeFi application Sprouts will become the winner of this competition, receiving a prize of $30,000 USDC, as well as one Solana Seeker device for each team member. Sprouts helps users save automatically through trading activities and allocate small amounts of money. This application will round up the exchange amounts in the associated wallets and invest the change into selected Solana DeFi products once a day.
Users can allocate funds to $ SKR for collateral, $ stORE, $ hSOL, $ cbBTC, and also conduct $ USDC or $ SOL lending through $ Kamino and $ Jupiter Lend. This concept addresses a common challenge for active traders: how to set aside funds while continuing to trade.
Other winners of major awards
In addition to Sprouts, there are 4 other projects that won major awards in different categories. The credit and leverage application Vanna Protocol received $25,000, while the payment project Glyf won $20,000. The gaming applications Battle Cities and Gali won $15,000 and $10,000 respectively.
Gali also received an additional ORE matching bonus. ORE offers this reward for the strongest $ORE integration among the top 10 projects before the competition, which effectively doubles the prize money for Gali to 20,000 US dollars.
Other winners and the $ SKR Integration Award
The remaining 5 award-winning projects ranked 6th to 10th, which are Mobiloot, Polaris, OnePlan Travel, Beatking, and Envelope. Among them, 4 projects are in the payment category, while Beatking represents the gaming sector.
In addition, PAYtience received a $ SKR Integration Award of 10,000 US dollars for its creative and meaningful token integration, which was paid in the form of $ SKR.
All winning teams will also receive selected display spots for Solana, dApp, and Store.
