I researched 500+ Base Summer Hackathon projects. Here are TOP 3 to keep an eye on

Base has organized a summer hackathon with a $200,000 prize pool for 20 teams.

Hackathon results will come in a couple of weeks, and to be REAL EARLY I found the most interesting new projects to keep an eye on (and I personally follow).
