Venture capital fund Colosseum announced the results of the 9th Solana Foundation hackathon, Solana Renaissance competition, on the evening of May 6. This competition attracted a lot of attention, with over 8,300 participants from more than 95 countries/regions submitting a total of 1,071 projects. Only 34 projects successfully stood out, with a winning rate of only 3.17%.

Among these winning projects, five belong to the chain game sector. So, what are the backgrounds of these chain game projects, and how should one prepare in advance for the explosion of the chain game sector? Below, Odaily Planet Daily will analyze the five latest winning chain game projects at the Solana hackathon and the key points worth paying attention to.

Meshmap is a project developed by a Japanese team. Meshmap builds a 3D map of the world through community-submitted 3D scans and rewards players through token incentives (proposed MESH token) and games. As the first place winner in the chain game sector of the Solana hackathon, the project received a reward of 30,000 USDC.

As the first proof of concept, Meshmap has developed a mixed reality first-person combat and tower defense game, City Champ, for Meta Quest 2/3/Pro using Unity and Solana. As players, users need to defend their city, resist the terror creatures generated by urban social problems, fight enemies, protect the city's core, and collect achievements to win. As 3D scanners, users can use the built-in laser scanner on their phones to scan the grid, find new game areas, and submit them to MeshMap to increase the possibilities of endless levels.

Although there is very little information about City Champ and the specific game content cannot be experienced, as the first place winner in the chain game sector of the latest Solana hackathon, it is still worth paying attention to. It is recommended to pay close attention to updates from the City Champ official account and also follow Meshmap to see if they open new chain game projects.

Second Place: Legends of the Sun

Legends of the Sun is a combat arena game where players can engage in 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 battles. Gameplay includes various technology trees such as swords, crossbows, firearms, magic, and drones. Equipment will be randomly airdropped through loot chests, and spending in-game currency (a lot) can upgrade the rarity of equipment. Equipment also has durability, meaning it may be damaged and require repair or repurchase. In addition to equipable items, there are many consumables such as food, potions, and grenades that can be thrown. Fully repaired equipment or completely damaged equipment can be traded as compressed tradable items in the grand market.
