Yesterday, on March 24th, the Kaopiz engineering team excelled and secured prizes at the Solana Consumer Hack 13 competition, a programming competition tailored for young enthusiasts passionate about Blockchain technology.

After nearly 4 hours of intense pitching alongside 20 other teams with many "heavyweight" projects, two teams, PhishBlock and Cheers, comprising talented young Kaopiz engineers, successfully impressed the judges and mentors to "bring home" two projects respectively: "A platform providing a layer of protection against online attacks" and "A fundraising platform for content creators and artists."

PhishBlock notably clinched the Third Prize in the Main Track, while Cheers made a strong impression by winning the Consumer Prize in the Side Track.

Assessing the participating teams and products this year, Mr. Manh N.D, a member of the PhishBlock team, shared, "All participating teams demonstrated exceptional creativity with innovative ideas highly applicable to real-life scenarios. Due to limited preparation time and being the first team to pitch, PhishBlock felt some pressure. Achieving the Third Prize exceeded the expectations of the entire team and serves as motivation for us to further refine our product."I'm truly delighted that after two days of dedicated and productive work from the whole team, we also received an award. Participating in this year's competition, I realized that it is a very beneficial platform for those who are exploring and want to work with Blockchain," expressed Mr. Khanh N.G from the Cheers team.

Once again, congratulations to PhishBlock and Cheers, as well as all the participating teams at Solana Consumer Hack 13. Wishing all teams continued success and many more projects on their journey to mastering Blockchain technology.
