Smart Contract #Hackathon @devpost has come to an end. What actually happened during November 1st - December 16th? What did the judges think about the submissions? I have many questions and so did many community members.

*For the @stratisplatform community. By the community.*
Participant: CryptoLover

1. What is your background prior to blockchain/crypto?
I worked as a developer then advisor and then Application/Solutions Architect. I nearly had 2+ yrs of experience in crypto as I was an Altcoin investor. The moment I came across blockchain and ...
crypto, I was fascinated by the behind the scene technology. Hence, I started researching and learning the blockchain related concepts.

2. What are you doing now with blockchain?
Working on a POC and building a smart contract and blockchain related solutions. I am ...
evaluating various possibilities like Ethereum, Stratis, NEO based smart contracts. BaaS – Blockchain as a service blew my mind. Since when I got to know, I have been actively researching and trying to come up with a innovative solution for the commonly occurring and ...
challenging problems or requirements.

3. What were your initial expectation of the hackathon? Did you think the requirement and judging criteria were clear?

The requirements and the judging criteria were clear and well defined. My initial expectation was to take a look into ...
the best practices, code samples or use-cases that could solve the real-world problems.

4. In your opinion, were the available tools and documentations sufficient for you? If not, what was missing?

The available tools and documentations were sufficient. The moment, I got ...
into the Stratis Smart contract, I started picking up and then suggesting the core team about the possible features or updates required for solving the real-world problems.

5. Do you have any prior experience developing on other blockchain? If so, please share what you like ...
and dislike about developing on Stratis platform.

Not much experience in developing blockchain or smart contracts prior to hackathon. I had a theoretical knowledge and little understanding of Ethereum Solidity based contracts. My likes about Stratis is, it’s easy to code with..
C#. However, I found tons of missing features as it wasn’t really using the core C# features. The Smart contracts what we have right now has limitations. It could be improved by adding some more innovative features like real time notifications etc. Also try to think out of the...
box on how to integrate external or third-party API’s within the contract. One thing I wasn’t sure is, how to build a production ready contract? There wasn’t much help or guidance in understanding the steps in promoting our contracts to sidechain. Also, I did not see the best ...
practices or patterns for building the Stratis Smart Contracts. There were other aspects like Web3.js and OpenZeplin kind of libraries missing in Stratis. The team and the community need to adopt with the Side chain-based contracts. I understanding it’s solving evolving and ...
picking up by its own phase.

6. During the hackathon, please tell us:
a. Did you have any strategy or a game plan before starting?

Of-course, I had a clear-cut plan. Before starting the solution development, I knew what I was doing and targeted a specific domain to solve ...
some real-world problems.

b. Where did you struggle the most? How were you able to overcome the struggle?

I had a trouble in integrating with the smart contract. Later, I had to rethink and redesign. Also, I got some guidance from the core Stratis team to resolve ...
the issues.

c. What resources did you find the most helpful?

Of-course, it’s the Stratis Academy, Open source code and samples.

7. “About 200 participants and only 13 projects? It’s strange.” Do you have any comment about this statement?

Design and Development of a...
blockchain or smart contract-based solutions is not so easy. It’s possible, the developers who registered did not explore or put effort to understand and build solutions. Yes, it is strange but that’s what it is. We all need to accept the fact that it’s relatively new for many...
developers. Blockchain solutions are not so simple.

8. What’s next for you?

I have bigger plans and targeting the blockchain as a service. I would like to get started at the early stages to provide some innovative solutions or transform existing business to adopt the new ...
technologies and benefit from it.
