At the ETHNewYork Hackathon, teams integrated Chainlink oracles with smart contracts, demonstrating innovative applications on the Ethereum blockchain. The first-place winner, French Toast Kitty, received $4,000 for their Dapp, which enhances the CryptoKitties game by incorporating real-world weather data to suggest activities for users' digital cats, showcasing the potential of integrating external data with blockchain. The Judges Choice Award went to Blocksolid, which earned $1,000 for creating a platform that allows donations to fund Internet services in developing regions, using Chainlink to ensure funds are distributed based on service reliability. Both projects highlight how Chainlink facilitates the use of external data to enable advanced functionalities in smart contracts, opening new possibilities for blockchain applications.
