#LegendsOfLightning 2023 Winners

After 9 weeks maker activity - we finally have crowned our Legend of Lightning!

A year ago, we embarked on a bold dream to create a 2 month long, accelerator style tournament in order boost the level of activity in Bitcoin’s maker ecosystem. What a journey it has been, thank you to all who joined us along the way.

And here’s a huge shout-out to our sponsors Fulgur Ventures! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Over the course of the event, we’ve had:

Our mission was clear: onboard new makers into the ecosystem, innovate on bitcoin and lightning, and help new or existing projects incubate their ideas and turn dreams into a reality. With 237 makers and 69 projects entered, we believe we got pretty close.

But like all great things, they must come to an end. Here are the winners of BOLT🔩FUN’s #LegendsOfLightning tournament!
