3rd Week of January 2025

Faiz once said, 'Vo log bohot khushkismat hain jo ishq ko kaam samajhte hain, ya kaam se ashiqi karte hain.' I, however, can't claim to share that fortune—especially when it comes to my weekly blogs. To my dear readers, I owe you an apology. Life has been a whirlwind these past two months, leaving me little time or inspiration to sit down and write. But here I am, attempting to pick up where I left off.

Everything has a brighter side, being late means I now have a lot to unpack and share with all of you. So, let's dive right in!

EDU Chain Web3 Hackathon— Powered by RiseIn

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of participating in a Web3 hackathon, and let me tell you—it was an absolutely exhilarating experience. The event was hosted in Aerocity, a location that, in itself, set the tone for how spectacular the hackathon turned out to be. Among all the hackathons I've attended, this one easily ranks as one of the best.

Our project?

We built an NFT Pokémon trading card game powered by EDU Chain, an innovative Layer 3 chain built on top of Arbitrum. The concept combined the nostalgia of Pokémon with the cutting-edge possibilities of Web3, creating an engaging fusion of gaming and blockchain technology.

Below are some glimpses of the event—(I’m the guy in the black hoodie, by the way!)

I’m afraid I have to wrap up this blog sooner than I’d like, with not much to share this time, as my semester exams are in full swing. But I promise to be more punctual with these blogs moving forward and to keep you all updated regularly.

Thank you for reading this far—it truly means a lot. Until next time, take care!
