Hackathoners
At The Gateway, every other person who presented their project to me was a TON Foundation hackathon winner.
It's certainly great that hackathons work. People come to them, learn about the TON ecosystem, create interesting projects, and get a boost of motivation and hope for rapid development among 950 million potential users.
But when the project has already been created and the money for winning has been spent, the team goes into "free floating" and faces a harsh reality.
There is no more support for the development of the project: no money, no advertising, and a couple thousand users in the ecosystem do not bring funds to support the team.
And I've seen the burning eyes of hackathon winners fade away at the conference. They created products, but who will use them if there are almost no real users in the ecosystem.
It looks like it will be exactly the same as it was with the hackathons for developing projects with TON Payments. 100% of the created projects went "to the table" and never became popular.
