Renaissance is the latest edition of Solana’s online global hackathon. Previous editions of Solana’s hackathons have been the birthplace of legendary projects such as StepN, Underdog, Tensor, and Dialect, among others.

This sidetrack is run by Superteam Germany. Anyone from Germany who is submitting to the global hackathon can apply.

This listing is a side track, meaning it is exclusive of the $550,000 up for grabs as part of the global hackathon! This means as a team based in Germany, your chances of winning a prize are much higher; even if you don't win at the global level, you still have a shot at winning something on the national level!

2. You must submit to the Renaissance hackathon and mark "GERMANY" as your country
