Greetings, Hackers!

Welcome to the #blockchain-api Writing Contest results announcement presented by dRPC and HackerNoon.

Since we launched the contest on June 12, 2024, #blockchain-api stories have kept readers glued to their screens for over 21 hours, as writers, thought leaders, builders, and innovators in the Web3 ecosystem discussed blockchain APIs, web3 dApp development, MEV protection, load balancing systems and more.

After a 15-day extension, the contest’s submissions window officially closed on September 27, 2024, at 11:59 PM. Entries submitted before the deadline were reviewed, and we’ve narrowed them down to our top 10 finalists.

Let’s meet them!
