Hack Web3 EasyA Hackathon @ Harvard Recap

This week, W3B sent a team to the Hack Web3 by TRON x Easy @ Harvard. Zile, Intel, Austin, Brandon (joined remotely), and Julia teamed up and built GroupBy, a blockchain-powered split payment platform running on TRON blockchain.

This was Zile, Austin, and Julia’s first Hackathon. After 24 hours of sleepless grinding, the team was able to win 4th place and a sizable prize!

Quoting Julia, the experience was “Good enough for me” and from Austin, “Thanks for everything.”
