Our Students Took the Stage and Took Home the Prizes

What a week it has been in Bali! We are beyond proud to share that 3 out of 5 teams from our Blockchain Developer Bootcamp became finalists in the ETHSea Hackathon, held alongside Coinfest Asia —and all of them went home as winners, securing a total prize of USD 8,000.

🚀 The Winning Teams

• 🥇 Xottle – Do More Get More – Tokenized Bottle Waste
  Incentivizing environmental action by turning plastic bottles into on-chain rewards. They won 1st place and brought home USD 4,000.
• 🥈 Kolektiva – Democratizing Real Estate Investment
  A platform making real estate investing accessible to all. They secured 2nd place with USD 3,000 prize.
• 🏅 Villa Rental RWA – Future of Leasing
  Tokenizing villa rentals for global investors. The project earned 4th place and a USD 1,000 prize.

Each of these projects started as an idea inside our 3-month Blockchain Developer Bootcamp, and we couldn’t be prouder seeing them pitch their work live on stage in Bali — for most of them, their first hackathon ever.

🌴 Beyond the Stage

The energy in Bali didn’t stop at the awards. After the ETHSea Hackathon final, our students spent time connecting with the broader Web3 ecosystem—taking memorable photos with the Lisk Team, Nino Fernandez, and William Sutanto, CEO of Indodax (formerly CTO).

To close the celebration, we hosted a warm and casual Bootcamp Alumni Meetup at Good Burrito Restaurant, Kuta Utara. It was a moment of reflection, laughter, and planning for what’s next.

🏁 This is Just the Beginning
This win is more than a moment—it’s a milestone. It proves that with the right mentorship, hands-on learning, and a strong builder mindset, Indonesian tech talents can compete and win on global stages.

We’re excited for what lies ahead—and even more excited to welcome the next generation of builders into our ecosystem.
