Playground for talented global programmers

Developers seize the opportunity to find and invest in talent, Web3 projects

In the context of economic fluctuations, the technology industry is also experiencing a period of slowing down. Despite the existing difficulties, many Web3 developers still have high hopes for the future potential of this field. They believe that with the natural rotation of the economy, there will be new and more advanced technologies, creating a premise for better development of society in general, such as ChatGPT. Therefore, many technology enterprises are still seizing the opportunity to focus on finding and training talent and investing in high-quality projects.

Solana has officially announced the contest with the name Grizzlython, represented by the symbol of the grizzly bear, the symbol of the “bear market” at the moment. This is a global competition that aims to build a sustainable blockchain ecosystem through connecting global personnel.

As one of the countries with a high rate of Web3 technology application and strong potential, Vietnam has been prioritized by Solana to facilitate participation in Grizzlython 2023 alongside Germany, Singapore, India, Australia and the United States. The contest opens opportunities for talented people in various fields such as programming, marketing, business, finance, etc. to jointly develop projects and receive initial investment. With a total prize pool and investment capital equivalent to 5 million USD, this is a potential playground for young people in Vietnam to reach out to the international market.
