Great job, congratulations.
Generally online events donāt have the expected impact, but itās great to see 100 active people. I would like to see something similar for Sonium!
I am also planning to organize a hackathon as the next event. I would like to benefit from your experience again at this point.

Hey Takeshi, basically these are progressive reports as the event happens, Iām doing this to keep you and the whole community informed on how the hackathon progress is going, so you can notice that I am indeed working for Astar hahaha.

You are right mate, usually virtual events are not well received, but Frutal Web House being a hybrid hackathon (virtual and face-to-face) has had greater adoption.
As soon as we have more documentation on Soneium, I plan to hold the first hybrid hackathon focused on creating toolings!
Of course, you and the whole community can always count on my help and support.

Nice job @Juminstock ! I like how You organize the events and the next focus on Soneium is a really great idea 
I would like to see Soneium builders apply to dApp staking , i think this can benefit both parties. Devs can benefit from the social hype around Sony brand and have also an economic support from dApp staking

It is such a great job! Organizing an event in a hybrid form must have been a time and energy consuming one, but glad to see your successful hackathon! Hope this to get expanded to meaningful contribution also onto the ecosystem!

Astar zkEVM and Soneium hackathon: report #4
Hello, dear community and mates! I bring you a report on how the hackathon is going.
- First of all, I should mention that we had a workshop last Saturday where we introduced the attendees to Astar and its networks, and I also took advantage of the space to start talking about Soneium and its testnet, Minato. Here you can see the recording of the streaming: https://www.youtube.com/live/AGeXDj9abYc?si=eX33FCyqR5vRa8Yd
As you can see, during the live broadcast we had more than 100 attendees on these channels, but I also connected my personal channels (Twitter and Youtube) and there were many more people who watched the workshop.
- I have created a telegram group to provide support to the developers who are hacking for the Astar track. We are adding more and more developers to the group.
Finally, I should inform you that I am encouraging people to build on Soneium directly, as it is getting a lot of traction and many people are interested in this blockchain. For the benefit of this point, I have created a GitHub repository focused on creating written tutorials and video tutorials.

Astar zkEVM and Soneium hackathon: report #5
Community, I bring two important updates:
-
The majority of participants are opting to develop in Soneium, more specifically, in Minato testnet. There is a lot of interest in this blockchain and because Astar zkEVM will merge, I have decided to give this a push and support them in building their projects in Minato.
-
I am now focusing my technical content on Soneium and Minato, this second update is very much related to the first one. Also I have released a new video tutorial, check it out here:

Thank you for the update. Iāve learned a lot, especially about Smart Contracts. If I may, Iād like to ask a few more questions:
-
From the initial assessment, Soneium seems to be receiving quite a positive response. What are the plans going forward?
-
In terms of numerical targets, what figures are you considering?

Hello, community!
I want to share a video-tutorial that Iāve built where I explain how to verify a smart contract deployed on Minato using Hardhat and Blockscout, I hope you enjoy the video!

Iām happy that the content Iāve been creating has helped youā thatās my main goal, to create content that is useful and really helps new developers.
Answering your questions:
- Yes! Soneium is gaining huge traction here in LatAm, specifically in this hackathon, itās been really exciting. My future plans are to keep creating educational technical content around this network, develop an educational program to onboard more devs, and finally, build a system that helps take ideas from inception to funding on Soneium.
- The metrics Iām considering mainly focus on projectsā Iām aiming for at least 5 stable projects, with only two winning the Astar prizes.
Iāll make sure to bring all the projects created on our network here so everyone can see them.
Thank you for your interest in this proposal!
Thank you very much for the feedback. Each answer is very clear and precise. =)
